It can be a bit loud because the acoustics and even louder when they have live music. But for the most part, it makes for a very lovely evening.

The…read morepatties were unbelievably juicy with those perfectly crispy, charred edges that every burger should have. The melted cheese was dripping over the sides, the bun was soft and fresh, and every bite just kept getting better. The fries deserved their own round of applause. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so addictive I kept telling myself, "Just one more"... about 30 fries ago. I don't know what kind of magic they're working back there, but they absolutely nailed it. This wasn't one of those burgers you eat because you're hungry--this was the kind you eat in complete silence because you're too busy enjoying every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have covered outdoor picnic tables with fans running overhead, which was a really nice touch. It made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm day and gave the place a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Safe to say this place has officially ruined mediocre burgers for me. I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need two orders of fries because sharing isn't going to happen.

There's nothing fancy about these restaurants, though I believe you can order online nowadays. The biscuit itself was delicious and well sized, as was the scrambled egg on board. The steak patty was cooked properly, but it could have used more seasoning as it was pretty bland. My order was definitely freshly prepared, and though I had to wait a few moments for it to be ready I didn't mind. I found the dining area to be clean though certainly not fancy, and the single staff member I dealt with was polite and prompt. A more interesting flavor to the breaded steak would have put this in the 4 to 4.5 star range for me, but I'll stick with 3.5 stars for now.

This looks like a little hole-in the-wall type of place, so I should've known it would be great! We got hotdogs all the way with no onions, I think they called them "regular." We also got fries and drinks. It was about $24 total, which isn't terrible compared to other hotdog places in the area. Everything was served piping hot and the hotdogs I would argue are my favorite of any in the area. They are a red hotdog and the white slaw and chili are almost sweet. It reminds me of the hotdogs I grew up eating at a local drive in restaurant back where I'm from. It is a walk-up stand and you're served at a window but you can take your food back to your car and eat in the air conditioning or take it back home with you. The lady taking orders was managing phone orders and in person orders while fixing drinks and calling customers up to get their food. I loved my visit to this little place and I'm going to definitely keep it in mind for lunches in the near future. Can't wait to go back soon!

I can't say the food was the best this time but I can say it has been better in the past. The huge problem was a girl that appeared to be the manager was screaming at the other employee's to where it was heard all over the resturant. She told one lady to get the F**K out of there and we found out that lady was not even an employee. There were children in there and everyone heard every word she was screaming. This was horrible for the employee's and our waitress told us it happens so many times but the employee's can't do anything about it. The labor board would love to hear this story so maybe some changes need to be made in the manager position in the evening, not sure if she works any other shifts.
