It is a take-out restaurant, with limited outdoor seating, neighboring Chevron gas station and across from Lakewood Baptist Church. The food is made to order; my order was ready in 18 minutes. I got a single smash burger, fries, and kash (hot honey-lemon pepper mix) flavored wings (4 ct), and bottled drink--lunch plate combo for $21. Everything was yummy. The burger was delicious. The fries were good without dipping sauce. The wings were pretty good; they weren't fried crispy as requested, and I only tasted a hint of lemon pepper--definitely a sweeter sauce flavor. Overall, good tasting food here!! I hope you'll encounter Nina; she patiently answered my questions, aware that it was my first visit, and she offered for me to sample the TLC sauce ( house-made, mayo-based aioli). Great customer service! Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'd make the drive again for this meal!

Also worthy of note, the buns on the burger were significantly better than any bun I've had at a burger place. I'd guess they are getting them from a local bakery, they are that good. Food was reasonably priced. Serving sizes were good. The food came out fast and piping hot. I don't know why this place was not slammed. We got there around 5pm on a Saturday.

My only complaint is I could tell our server as new at this because I felt quite forgotten at times as he would just disappear but otherwise it was a great experience! The cocktail menu had a bunch of great choices and I loved my drink! For an appetizer, we got a flat bread and some spinach and artichoke dip both of which were amazing! Super tasty and flavorful. For my main, I got the chicken caesar wrap with fries and this was a massive wrap! Super yummy and I loved that the salad was finely chopped.

And then I had the salmon entrée and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both were amazing! Definitely recommend if you haven't been there before. We will return for sure!

We went late lunch during the week but it's hard to chalk it up to time of day. The burger was less than average. Maybe a different beef supplier than in the past. Small, overcooked, relatively flavorless. Tiny plate with few tots. May give it a try again when I'm up that way, and hope it was just a fluke. Service was slow for it being an after lunch and no one there.

The husband felt the same about his burger. We are pretty sure these are real hands patted patties. Not a frozen premade burger. Tater tots were good, my chili cheese fries were drowned in the chili & cheese. Just way too much! The employees are just amazing & super friendly.

The inside has a very cool old school building feel while being trendy at the same time. It's quite a large place with two sides and outdoor seating plus restrooms on each side. The appetizers and main dishes that we have had so far are all fantastic. The fish and chips are some of the best I've had. The fish isn't overly breaded and greasy like some other places. Our son loves the fried green bean appetizer but eats most of it himself so we hardly ever get to enjoy it. Once again the breading is light resembling a panko type crust so you aren't just eating deep fried objects. We've tried numerous other appetizers and so far nothing has been a let down. If you're looking for a good menu with quality food and drink options (they have a full bar) then this is it. Cool setting. Easy to get to. Great food. Friendly staff.
