The ice cream and pies on offer looked tantalizing, but we came in for dinner first. We ordered 2 hot sandwiches and swapped halves so we could enjoy sampling more on our first visit. We tried the Italian Stallion and the Great Dane sandwiches, both on sourdough, with fries on the side. We loved both sandwiches, but thought the Great Dane was better. The American Fries are actually roasted, seasoned new potatoes (not fried potatoes), but they were delicious! For dessert I had to go with the classic banana split because they are hard to come by. Amazing! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

My tacos were delicious and bursting with flavor. Whether you live nearby or just passing through - i would definitely recommend making a stop here.

The food was hit and miss. I got a crab cake po boy with pork green chile chili on the side. the chili was amazing. I wish I would have ordered a bowl of that. The po boy was not good. The bread was soggy and the crab cakes did not taste like crab, or really anything. I took one bite then just ate the bland crab cakes. But ordering that was my fault. I'm at a diner, what was I thinking? My friend loved his Cuban sandwich, which was a better choice. But that pork green chile chili was phenomenal.
