Our new family spot 🙂
This definitely feels like a local spot — lots of workmen and people who seemed to know the waitstaff. Menu consists of classic American fare, like burgers, patty melts, and chicken tenders. Fries, onion rings, and tater tots for your sides! They also offer daily lunch specials; on Tuesday it was spaghetti and garlic bread, but other days have plate lunches like country fried steak. This appears to be a pretty popular deal — lots of spaghetti coming out of the kitchen!
Our waitress proudly explained how they hand patty the burgers and hand bread the tenders, and how the salads are made with freshly pulled lettuce. She also told us she’d worked there a long time. Love a place that retains employees! Says a lot. Our waitress did a good job, too.
My parents both ordered a hamburger and split an order of onion rings. I was gonna go in on a burger but couldn’t resist when I heard the tenders were hand-breaded. So I had chicken tenders with fries.
The burgers were great! Parents said they reminded them of old-fashioned diner burgers. My tenders were also good: crispy breading and all white meat. The onion rings were crunchy and the fries were crinkle cut and of ample portions.
My complaints are generally small, but for what they are: wish the tenders, fries, and rings had been a little saltier, and I wish the ranch for dipping was a little thicker and less herby (kinda tasted like salad dressing ranch rather than buttermilk). Still, minor in the grand scheme of things!
Thanks for an enjoyable lunch! 🙂
The food was outstanding, we had burgers that were some of the best we’ve had and the onion rings were homemade and delicious. Also the prices are very reasonable.
We pass through here a twice a year and we will definitely eat here again.
Food was EXCELLENT. The mashed potatoes were from scratch. None of that instant stuff. My friend had the Monday special and I had a grilled chicken sandwich with onion rings. We are definitely going back. I think my daughter and I will go there, tomorrow for breakfast. Yes, tomorrow. It was that good!!!!
