Restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday night. After being in the car for nearly 4 hours we decided to eat in. Service was ok and provided by local teens. Food was good. Had high hopes for the rootbeer. It had a slightly different taste than I was used to...possibly more of a vanilla flavor....and didn't have much fizz.

The food is good for a small time operation and the service is honestly among the better for a mom and pop stop. The root beer has a strange but intriguing taste. The prices are honestly really good for the amount of food.

Cute drive-up spot! Came here with our dog after a hike. They make their own root beer and bring the food to your car. Places like this are special!

Such a neat place to stop!! The food was so good, the service even better! Those workers were flying all over to help everyone and they really did well. The root beer was definitely amazing, a long with the ice cream! Really glad we stopped. Can park and order outside, there's a patio area or you can eat inside. It's a bit tight inside but manageable. Easy to get to from the state parks near by too. Also, plus for Pokemon Go players, it's a pokestop!!

Old style drive-in, something from pre-interstate days, even has a "big boy" out front. Pull in, order your food and out it comes to your car. I had a shake, wife had grilled cheese. She reported, "Yummy!" I recommend.

I enjoyed making a pit stop here. The food is pretty simple, but it was good, and the price was right. They've got a good variety of options. I think it said their root beer was homemade. The staff were friendly and on top of things. Heads up...cash only, but they do have an ATM. You can either sit in your car or dine inside. Bathroom inside too. The best part of the whole experience for me was the vintage vibe!! Please don't change a thing!
