To be clear, it's not a…read moredrive-in in the sense of the Fifties drive-ins; no one's coming out to your car to take your order and bring you a burger on roller-skates. You park in the lot, and order at the counter. Their milkshakes are some of the best I've ever had; the staff suggested "Caramel Cheesecake", which was out of this world. Each milkshake can be custom designed and made to order. Trying to be healthy, I also ordered a Chicken Salad Wrap, which was good. It's a Fifities vibe inside, with cute decor. Free parking in the lot.

Staff…read moreacted like we were interrupting their very important TikTok scrolling session--barely looked up when taking the order, zero smiles, one-word answers, and straight-up rolled their eyes when I asked for extra sauce. Probably because I heard they make them share tips with the back crew. Pay the back crew better then. The meat? Dry as a cardboard box left in the Nevada sun for three summers. Brisket had the texture of an old boot sole and somehow zero smoke flavor--like they forgot to turn the smoker on. Ribs were tough, overcooked, and tasted mostly of disappointment. Coleslaw was just sad shredded cabbage swimming in watery mayo. Beans were straight from a can with zero seasoning. Even the sweet tea tasted like someone stirred it with regret. $18 for a two-meat plate that made me wish I'd just eaten gas station jerky instead. Place sucked. Atmosphere sucked. Food sucked. Would not return even if they paid me. 0/10, do not recommend unless you hate yourself

The four of us all had different things, and nobody had any complaints. My breakfast burrito was a little unconventional (a green chili sauce and a spicy gravy on the side) but very, very good. SERVICE: Okay, friendly, maybe a little inexperienced. Also waited a long time to have the check-and-card picked up (ended up going to the front counter). AMBIANCE: It's a cafe. The windows overlook a big dirt parking lot. The place was clean and tidy, though, and I was looking for a good breakfast, not a luxurious setting. NET-NET: I would go back any time I was passing through. Our friends recommended it, and I will, too.

We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes.
