It's a hole in the wall drive in. Been here for many years and the paint and the decor make that…read moreclear. You don't go to these old fashioned dives for the decor though. Service was good, with everything made to order. Went on a Sunday and the after church crowd filled the place. Great double burger that was well seasoned. Tots and onion rings were crispy and tasty. Yes, a little greasy but that's what makes it good.

Great place to get an old-fashioned burger that makes you feel like it's back in the 50s/60s…read more The staff was super friendly and answered our questions about what items came on the different food items and was helpful on adding some extras like grilled onion on the burger. We ate inside and it was the first time being in. The place you can tell is very old and the building is showing its age for the dining room with a massive amount of wear and tear. For an old-school drive-in, that is not a make or break for me as the building and most items are most likely original and it is what it is. Ordered a side of Suzi-Q's and they were hot and fresh but they just didn't have a lot of flavor. I regretted not getting the tater tots instead and would most likely just get a burger by itself in the future. It would be nice if they had some light seasoning compared to just salt or used seasoned fries as the base. The burger was where the home run was for me. I kept it simple and had pickles, ketchup, and grilled onion with cheese and the only thing I regretted was getting a single and not the double. It was piping hot and had come straight off the flattop. the cheese was melted and gooey. The burger was super juicy and like a classic old-fashioned burger, had some grease soaked into the bun which made the flavor just burst.

Parking on Main St. is m limited; so Parking is better in the back. It is casual but elegant…read more Comfortable seating at tables or along the bar. The Service is outstanding! The Waiter was very warm, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We had draft beer in a chilled glass (not frosty, which I prefer). Appetizers: We got Arancini (see image) and they were slightly over toasted but delicious. Entrees: We chose Pappardelle Bolognese & Manicotti delivered with buttered focaccia bread slices (see image). Both were delicious! Pappardelle pasta was a tad overcooked, and the Manicotti was the Star of the two! The bread is warm sliced fresh focaccia and lightly brushed with butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Portions are generous, and we both took leftovers home and we asked for more to-go bread. Summary: Prices are good for the quality, portions and service! Our visit was $51 (before tip) with 4-beers, appetizers and 2-Entrees. So a couple will pay about that much with a comparable restaurant. Restrooms are small but clean. Albeit the men's toilet tank lid is missing(?). Recommended. Would have been a full 5-stars had arancini and pappardelle had not been slightly overcooked. But not enough to send it back. Enjoy!

Just okay. I've had them a few times now, in house and take out/delivery. Pasta dishes are so-so,…read moreand overpriced for the experience. Appetizers are usually good. Front row of house staff is usually friendly but kitchen is slow routinely. The pasta is usually over cooked for my taste. Sauces are hit and miss, with the bolognese being especially disappointing; too runny and acidic. Alfredo in the past has been too runny. Had the piccata once, the sauce was good, the chicken was just passable. I wife and daughter love the burrata app. Overall, I wouldn't recommend for entrees, but maybe their sandwiches give better value?

Draft Miller Light. I like my beer very very cold, preferably frosted. This was cold and pleasant but could be colder!
