Good burgers and fast service. They do offer more than just burgers. Salads, sandwiches, fried shrimp. I also had a strawberry shake, very good, nice and creamy and just the right thicknes. Great place to stop for a hearty lunch.

It's been a long time, but the hot dogs and hot fries are so good! Friendly folks and fantastic sweet tea! What else could a southern boy want?
The customer service was excellent and the employees were very friendly and helpful. The Hamburger platter was great to the taste and cooked perfectly. And the price was very affordable and worth every penny... When I come back to visit from Florida they definitely have a returning customer. The atmosphere was very pleasant.
