    Some of the picnic tables out front -- it was very dark, lol.

    We stopped here for dinner on our way to Atlanta on Friday night on the recommendation of one of my husband's coworkers. It's an old-timey drive-in with a pretty big menu -- burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, lots of fried appetizers. It's got a nostalgic feel to it, too, which is kind of fun. A couple indoor seats at the counter and lots of picnic tables out front, though most people seemed to eat in their cars. The employees working at the counter were VERY nice and helpful. Our food came out relatively quickly - the speakers outside work well, too, so no worries about not being able to hear if you wait outside. We grabbed our food and went to the car to eat, as it was chilly. Husband got some kind of double patty cheeseburger and fries, and I had a single hamburger with bacon and fries. We love fried mushrooms so we got an order of those to share with ranch as an appetizer. The burgers were decent. Soft buns, juicy enough. Could've used maybe a little more salt or seasoning or something. I wound up taking the bacon off of mine because it was too rubbery for my preference. The fries were crispy and hot but also lacking salt. We enjoyed the homemade ranch with the fried mushrooms. The mushroom batter kind of tasted like batter you'd eat at a county fair. Not bad, but not my favorite either. The mushrooms were quite greasy, too. The atmosphere and the staff at this place really stand out. It's a convenient stop off, too. For me, however, the food was just alright. I'd come back if it was especially convenient, but probably wouldn't go out of my way.

    I must say that I am a big fan of the drive-in restaurants. These restaurants are steeped in Americana and evoke images of times gone so when I saw this establishment, I had to pull in and give it a try. I opted for their specialty burger, which was a cheeseburger topped with fried bologna, bacon and a sunny side up egg. Since I got the combo (fairly priced at about eight dollard) which came with fries and a drink, I anticipated a fine lunch and was not disappointed. The cheeseburger was a perfect blend of meat and cheese. The fries were a great accompaniment and my iced tea helped wash it all down with. I enjoyed my lunch on one of their benches. Service was very friendly, which added to my all together great lunch. If you find yourself in this section of eastern Alabama, I suggest a visit to this establishment.

    Perhaps in an earlier era this place had great food, but that was not my experience unfortunately. The food was not bad, it was good, but certainly nothing to write home about. The "Chuck Burger" was recommended to me since I'd never been here before. Again, it was okay, but just average. A little on the dry side and slightly over cooked. Tater tots were just your standard generic frozen variety. Even the sweet tea tasted like a commercially prepared brew. Won't bother stopping here again.

    Awesome little dive in (seemingly) the middle of no where! Pet friendly, which was a must for us, with great friendly service to match. Food was phenomenal! Be ready for juicy messy fingers! :-D
