    Tasty food in a fancy restaurant for breakfast and lunch. The waiters are nice and always ready to help. There is also merchandise (shirts, sauces...) on sale.

    Maybe it is better in person, but on UberEats, I ordered a regular cheeseburger with fries and it also allowed me to select a soup with the order, so I did. No soup came in the order and I could only eat half of the burger before throwing it out. Way too much mayo squishing out of the sides of the burger and the lettuce and tomato were slimy (maybe from the mayo, but they didn't look very fresh.) I tried one fry and it was cold, although thats probably due to the delivery time, not the restaurant. For how much it cost though, I'd rather go to McDonalds to be honest.

    This place is great! Delicious food at fair and reasonable prices; friendly, attentive, and efficient service. My favorite part is when the neighborhood dogs walk by, they run out to give them bacon. Definitely check this place out!

    Owner or manager got pissed off because I returned my burger. It was rare in the middle. No where on there site does it say cooked medium medium rare nothing. I like all my meat well down. I told them I had ate some or it while driving before I noticed. I even said I’ll pay for the fries and other items but not the burger. Will never return. I’m mad I didn’t get a photos of that shit.
