My only regret is I haven’t been there sooner! I am handicap with mobility issues. I was greeted by a very kind woman who took my order in the waiting area to accommodate my special needs. My Burger meal was a great value, tasted phenomenal and I will be back regularly! Great local food!

Hands down best place for burgers and hotdogs!!! Best mushroom and Swiss burger ever. Customer service is 10/10! Atmosphere feels like I'm at home and safe. I will definitely be coming back thank you so much!

We stopped and experienced quick, friendly service and good food that doesn’t break the bank. Daily specials, assortment of food and desserts. If you need a quick stop and fast service with a little something for everyone, try it.

The service is great and the food is great! I went there 2 days in a row. Their Chef Salad was delicious and I couldn’t eat it all, so I have it for another meal. Their hotdogs are the best my friend and I have ever had! The homemade chili and slaw are perfect! This is our new favorite restaurant! Oh and my friend tried the fish sandwich and loved it too! Don’t let the outside fool you, they really are one of the best restaurants are around here with fast service and really great food!!!

This is a cute little diner that has great food!! I had the club sandwich ( fresh ingredients and so good) sister had the hotdog (no chili but lots of onions yummy) we shared a basket of homemade chips. Fresh, warm, crunchy and so good. Will definition go back and try something else. Friendly staff, greeted us and said thanks for coming in.

Awesome little grille. We had the Johnson Jr burger and club sandwich with onion rings. The burger and onion rings (battered, not breaded ) were very good. But it was the club sandwich that compelled me to write this review. The ham and turkey were FAR superior to the processed lunch meat usually found in club sandwiches. There was no need to add the usual middle slice of toast to plump this sandwich up like other diners.
