“ Amazing homemade food with lots of local farm/butcher connections. Virtually EVERYTHING is homemade including cheese. Yummy fried chicken, garlic cheesebread with marinara (yum!). Too full for dessert. We'll be back! ”
“ Word of advice, EAT HERE!!! Truly an awesome lunch. Fresh cut fries, homemade coleslaw, house made ranch that was the BOMB! Burger was fresh, juicy and done perfectly. Chicken strips are hand bredded. 5 of us ate for 50 bucks. Well worth the drive and the price. Not what I expected when our friends (locals) pulled us up to this liquor store and restaurant. Thanks for the hospitality and great lunch. ”
“ We were passing through and this popped up under our searches of places near by. It doesn’t look like much, but We decided to try it as we like little diners. It was so good!!!Our four picky kids who don’t usually finish their food, all finished their meals. The burgers are amazing, so are the onion rings which use a sweet onion and tempura like batter. The pizza was also super tasty. The fries are real, everything fresh and homemade. And yes, the coleslaw is as good as everyone says with its homemade pickles. We will visit again for sure. Pictured: blue cheese and bacon burger and onion rings Kids meal that came with its own appetizer of waiter pepperoni cheese and crackers, or veggies and homemade ranch. And what was left of the yummy meat pizza. The sausage was on point. ”
