I was looking for a road trip to entertain myself and my parents on a day off. Having heard a…read morecouple whispers about this place, and considering it fit the bill for a nice country drive, I stuck the address in my GPS and off we went.
This little diner -- it's a diner, not a grocery; currently waiting on Yelp moderators to change the name -- recently relocated to its own full restaurant in November. Prior to that, I believe they were serving out of a former gas station. The new location is very spacious, with room for lots of customers, and has super cute country-chic decor.
They serve breakfast till 11 every day and it all sounds delicious. Lunch offerings include burgers, Phillies, pizzas, chicken tenders, and a few blue plate options. After reading through lots of reviews of this place and checking out their Facebook page, it seemed as though burgers were the thing to get, so that is what we ordered.
Their burgers come in 2 sizes: small (4oz) and large (7 oz). We ordered one small cheeseburger, one large cheeseburger, and one large bacon cheeseburger -- I wanted the full experience; don't judge! ;) We all got fries as our side, though they also offer onion rings.
Let me tell you, we were not mislead at all on the burgers. They are obviously handmade: freshly pattied, cooked on a flattop grill, thick, juicy, and perfect. They nailed our topping specifications perfectly -- no wrong orders here. The cheese was nice and melty and the bacon was thick cut and crispy. Sincerely, one of the best burgers I have had in a while. Definitely a top 5 for the Huntsville area, and ABSOLUTELY the best you can get anywhere in the immediate area. They seemed to do a good bit of carryout business and goodness knows our orders were served promptly, so this could be a great alternative to nearby fast food.
The one drawback of our experience was the fries. They were probably frozen and then fried, and although they were salted decently, they did suffer a from oiliness as well as a few being undercooked. I would skip these when I return. A large hamburger was more than enough for a satisfying meal; you don't really need the fries.
Service was very kind and chatted us up about their recent move, their specialties, and what kind of customers they often serve -- we were curious, since they are very much off the beaten path. The pleasant staff informed us they get a lot of farm and construction workers passing through, so if you're passing through too -- make this place your next stop!
