"This restaurant doesn’t operate as a from-scratch kitchen. It's primarily a burger joint, and they might be better off focusing solely on that. The pre-made items they serve lack flavor and often require a lot of salt just to be palatable. The gravy tasted like nothing more than flour and water—completely devoid of any seasoning! With 25 years of experience running a restaurant myself, I can confidently say I've never relied on pre-made food. While there are higher-quality pre-made options available, it seems that local restaurants within a 100-mile radius are hesitant to take the risk of purchasing them. Trust me, it’s worth the gamble! Many small-town eateries have closed their doors due to low-quality food, appealing only to senior citizens who may have lost some of their taste sensitivity with age. If you find that the majority of a restaurant's patrons are elderly, it’s usually a sign to be cautious. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning, as I’ve avoided hamburgers since the 1980s due to the poor quality of ground beef."

This is a fantastic local burger spot. I ordered the cheeseburger and onion rings, both of which were made from scratch. The service was friendly, and the place has been completely remodeled. It was a great experience, and I will definitely return.

The burgers and shakes here are absolutely delicious! The staff is super friendly, and the customer service is excellent. You have to try the amazing onion rings! If your household can’t decide between Coke and Pepsi, you’re in luck—they offer both! View menu

The service was good; I received a few curious glances from the waitstaff, but overall, they were attentive and pleasant. The food was tasty, although I found some gnats in my sweet tea. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, but it could use some cleaning. One of the windows has a hole that resembles a bullet hole, though I can't be certain. Other than that, everything else was great!

This has always been one of our favorite spots for years, but today was somewhat disappointing. The burger we anticipated wasn't served, and while the grilled bun was present, the meat—though flavorful—was incredibly overcooked and dry. The tater tots and fries were decent, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the fried mushrooms. Despite this lower rating today, we will definitely return.

Three years later, and the food is now barely edible, according to my sister and our cousin who live nearby, after their recent visit in September 2016. My cousin even felt the need to apologize (not that it was her fault) for the poor quality of the food; they had no idea it had deteriorated so much. The establishment is filthy, and the food is awful. My sister ordered the same dish she enjoyed three years ago, but this time she couldn’t finish it because it was so bad. She’s baffled by how a place can serve such low-quality food and still remain open. It’s truly a shame. Perhaps the restaurant could be sold to someone who actually knows how to run a burger joint, as the current owners clea...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, it was truly outstanding. From the moment I entered, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met throughout the evening. The menu featured a fantastic range of dishes, each one sounding more appetizing than the last. I chose the chef's special, and it did not disappoint! The flavors were vibrant, and the presentation was exquisite. Every bite was a delight, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. Further, the dessert menu was equally enticing, and I indulged in a delightful treat that perfectly rounded off the meal. Overall, this r...
