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.

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.

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.
