Great food and great service. Very clean inside. There is a nice outdoor seating area with a few picnic tables.

Has a really fun and retro diner vibe. Food is great and reasonably priced. I would suggest that they adjust their ice cream freezer for the hard ice cream though; It is mushy and not hard. Apart from that, I highly reccomend this place.

We all ordered the banquet burger special with fries and a large beverage for 10. The burger was huge but the bacon could have been a little crispier and leaner. All in all, a great diner special. The diner staffers were all happy and helpful. One improvement would be more seating, as some had to go outside and stand or sit on the grass. If you don't mind lining up to order around that time, then it's very decent grub for a 10 spot. I had a chocolate shake and it was out of this world.

Foot long hotdog was delicious. Had a side of onion rings cooked very well. Crisp not greasy & NY strawberry shake was nice & thick. Straw collapsing consistency-perfect! My favourite spot
