Called ahead for food and when I got there it was done. My husband ordered food too that I didn’t take pictures of. I ordered the stake sandwich and onion rings. Not greasy just right. First time here definitely will be going back!

Surprisingly really yummy. There is nothing too special or fancy about this place, but if you are looking for a quick, simple, old-fashioned style burger, this is the spot. They prepare the orders pretty quickly, and the prices are very reasonable. It was definitely not the best burger I have ever had, but it was still tasty and satisfying. I enjoyed it and felt full and content after eating.
