    a burger and onion rings
    James M.

    Great spot to grab some lunch, right off the road - plenty of parking. Friendly staff and pretty extensive menu from Buffalo Burgers to Ice-cream. Reasonable prices for Alaska and right next door to the Sullivan Roadhouse Museum (worth a visit). We enjoyed our Buffalo Burger Platter- Burger was really tasty with all the condiments. The Curly fries were not as hot as we like, but overall not bad for $17.

    Pretty great burgers, fish n chips, zucchini fries, and soft serve. A touch tourist-pricey for what you get but the experience is good. Prob the best option in the local Delta Junction area.

    Passing through Delta Junction, our friends recommended this place for their burgers. While they're certainly tasty, they didn't blow us away. We ordered the buffalo burger with curly fries and ate out back. The burger was cooked well, had lots of toppings, and a solid bun, but it was really just an above average burger. The staff was friendly and attentive and atmosphere nice.

    This place is cash only and only open for the summer. Young, energetic gals run the place (take your orders, food prep, etc) and they have a nice, grassy, patio with pic-nic tables for food. They are open late (till 10pm), which is a big deal around here since everyone else is shut by 8 or maybe 9pm. The offerings include burgers, buffalo burgers, corn dogs, fried halibut, malts, slushies, ice cream cones.. you know, the general assortment of greasy-drive-in-food. Not that that's a bad thing on occasion, but there's no way I could frequent this place and not feel the belt buckle needing adjustment after a week. This place is always busy in the summer... it's obvious it's popular. I'm a fan because it has a nice atmosphere and energy and I will come here if I am desiring to eat something not-so-healthy... especially considering the other options are limited.

    There aren't many choices for lunch or dinner when driving through Delta Junction. You can probably count them on using your fingers, on one hand. Buffalo Center might be the safest, best place to eat in town. A small, drive up burger joint, you'll be greeted by what appears to be high school girls, who are friendly and eager to take you're order. Remember to bring cash, however. They don't accept credit cards. The menu isn't vast. If you come here expect to order a burger or buffalo burger, each of which is grilled on the spot and tastes pretty good. The fries, on the other hand, aren't going to impress. Still, in Delta Junction, be happy you've found something edible.

    Great roadside burger and shake place. Picnic table or service at your car. Burgers are excellent, shakes selection is good as well.

    Just know that they are cash only (they do have an ATM) and sometimes it's a bit of a wait for the food.

They are very careful about cross contamination, accommodating with substitutes and changes to your order. Full bar for you adult beverages, several TVs playing different sports, I truly miss when they use to do Pay Per View sports, including and missing my personal fave, Cage fights the most! There's 2 separately divided main areas in this cave. The nice adulting style sit down booths, tables, or at the large copper topped bar or even outside seating. Also the gaming side, it has Pool tables, air hockey, shuffle board (if someone hasn't let their kids fling the shake out) ping-pong hoope's, dart board and digital jukebox. The staff is awesome, friendly, accommodating. The chef will pop out to say hi and ask about your meal almost always. Happy hour is refreshing, plenty of parking with grocery store, gas station and liquor store all within a stones through. Yes, we like the cave, and will continue going. They've come along way in so many areas over the past few years. But.... PLEASE BRING BACK THE PAY PER VIEWS, no super bowl, or MMA has forced the fans to seek elsewhere in town.

Thank God I didn't get arrested or charged with DUI simply because of the name of the place if nothing else. They sure do seat minors and furnish alcohol on the premises for all the SOSA cops in the area doing strings for crimes against children etc. A restaurant is a restaurant, probably as good as anywhere else to eat in town for the money but not with all the cop shop goings on, but being tasked to refuse the offered drink and just accept the food -- I don't want to come across as a teetotaler but I tend to dine solo, eat fast and drive off as soon as I pay the check. Maybe life around here just isn't civilized or hospitable enough for a sit down restaurant.

My parents have already been here before so it was my first time. We came here for the brunch since many of our friends have been recommending it to us. As soon as we got our menus tho.. it was only lunch. Apparently brunch is only Sunday so.. we got our hopes up for nothing. As for the actual food tho, my dad got a wrap and it was cold, and only had like two tiny pieces of chicken. My BLT was literally all lettuce and had like 1 piece of bacon. My moms dish was a special and it was actually pretty good, so I guess it wasn't so bad. The waitress was very kind but overall if your here for the food.. maybe reconsider.

Later on in the morning I saw two bed bugs crawling around filled with blood. I took video and pictures before killing them. I reported to the motel staff and checked out. Restaurant: Slow, low quality, had the tacos yuck even the rice smelled. Had bacon yuck who messes up bacon. Only thing good were the drinks and the waitresses were friendly. Probably wouldn't pass a inspection.

It was very busy, but they got to us in a timely manner. The kitchen was a little slow, but that was to be expected when it was so busy. We ordered sandwiches and they were delicious. My husband got the Wicked Chicken with regular fries; their take on a hot chicken sandwich. It was flavorful and good. I got the Philly Slammer with curly fries. The slammer was jam packed with meat and all the goodies. I got the sauce on the side. It made a great fry sauce too. I liked having the option for curly fries.

As you can see from the picture, you can't find the taco, or the halibut. Once you fight through a messy and disorganized pile of auxiliary and uncomplimentary portions of this meal- since a single bite can't get everything included - and more is not better; you might actually find the halibut- which is flavored and cooked VERY well. Unfortunately the fight to get to, inability to locate, and mess to clean up after is so ridiculous that it detracts from the actual hero of the dish. Pay no attention to the inaccurate listing on Google; the lack of a liquor license; the "somebody's aunt set up a B level wedding in here" vibe with insufficient lighting; and the fact that it took me negotiating with a waitress to get silverware- and if you can look past all of that, you may enjoy the food. But what do I know? I simply travel the world for work and find happiness in good food and places to eat. This wasn't one.
