    I give four star for vibe and friendly staff here. it’s a very cool place and for sure worth stopping by at least once. Food is just ok in my opinion. We got their famous hotdog, burger and fries. Nothing really that I care to have again, but edible for sure. Place has a nice feel to it and atmosphere is great. Bathroom are for customers only and very clean.

    Sarah's - We were driving through the area & decided to stop by. This was our first time visiting here. It was really neat seeing all the cool memorbelia from the past. We loved walking around looking at all the decor & seeing pics where people & pets have visited. It is a great pet friendly restaurant. They had plenty of parking. Lots of indoor & outdoor seating. We loved the atmosphere & service was fast, all the staff were very friendly & helpful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings & a blackberry milkshake. My burger was subpar 😐 - a frozen patty heated, the bun was good, but I would not order this again. The onion rings were great; hot, fresh & crispy. I didn't care for the milkshake, it was like foam, didn't seem to have any ice cream in it all all, it was like they froathed the milk and added flavoring to it, which all got stuck at the bottom. My husband ordered a brat, fries & root beer. The brat was really good; warm, juicy & very flavorfull, again the bun was good. The fries were hot & crispy. The soda was just plain normal soda out of the machine, so nothing to brag about. Over all I'd say it was a cool place to eat and see the history, but the food was nothing to write home about. If we happen to be in the area and stop by again, I would go for the brat.

    I’ve heard good things about this place and wanted to give it a try. So we decided on a cheeseburger, curly fries and onion rings. Everything looked good upon getting it but we really didn’t care for the food. The burger patties very tasteless and honestly tasted like a frozen burger patty. The onion rings as well very tasteless and fries were alright could be better. However, my fountain coke was on point.
