"Filling.That's all that needs to be said about lunch! Almost FOUR hours later and I'm STILL stuffed!My uncle's been helping me build bookcases for my living room, so I treated him to lunch for his help. His neighbor told him about this place, so we decided to try it today (4/8/22). The neighbor extolled their steak sandwiches, fries, and vanilla shakes! And since I've been craving an old-fashioned shake, that's where we went.The restaurant is a down-home kind of place evoking a sort of Southern (or maybe Midwest) appeal. You walk to the ordering window, place your order (medium-well, here, please and then take your ticket and find a seat. There are indoor tables and booths and ONE outdoor table (for four).First thing you see on the menu are the prices. $6.99 for a vanilla shake took me aback at first, but you have to remember that you're getting the tall shake glass AND the tall metal mixing glass, too. Our ribeye sandwiches came with either fries or baked potato. I had the fries. My uncle had the potato. The sandwiches are served on oblong sesame buns with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion slices. And the ribeye was SO tender and seasoned well. The fries are my favorite kind: crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside--steak fries (though they weren't wedges). For the potato, you get butter and sour cream. Packets of mayo, bottles of steak sauce and ketchup are given to you on a tray when you place the order.Our waitress was super sweet and friendly, even advising us to STIR the shake in the metal container before pouring it into the glass or we'd be swimming in our shakes instead of drinking them!She brought our meals, then walked through the restaurant checking up on all the other diners to see if they were doing well. On her way back, she checked in on us. She did this a few times during our meal. Even the man who took our order came to see how we liked it when we'd finished (my uncle had told him this was our first visit). Talk about down-home treatment and top-notch customer service.While we waited for our meals, my uncle and I perused the menu. He began to get super excited when he saw Chili Size on the menu. I had NO clue what that was, so he told me and then he said he was definitely returning with his son (my cousin) because they both loved chili size and hadn't had it in AGES! I'm actually eager to try out their fish sandwich, chicken tenders, and seafood platter (I prefer chicken and fish more than beef). And each entree comes with (let's see if I can remember) salad, fries, or baked potato AND garlic bread. (Now don't quote me on that because I don't remember exactly and didn't think to get a picture of their menu.)Anyhow, we had a great lunch and will certainly be back."
