Took the family for friday night fish fry. Prices were very good for what you got. Waitress was super friendly and attentive to our table. Food came out hot and was great. Kids enjoyed their food as well. We had drinks and they were great too. Will definitely return.

I'm in town on business and this place shares a parking lot with the Hampton Inn. I had the #14 (I think) burger. It's the one with the egg and bacon on it. Without exaggerating, it's the best burger I've ever had!

Randomly visited for dinner. Turned out to be half priced pizza night! Pizza was absolutely delicious, and incredible for the price. We had a cheese and an Italian beef. So good! Waitress was great as well. Only complaint is that it was so dark in there. Need to turn the lights up a touch.

Had a going away party for a coworker there. Service was excellent and everyone loved their food choices. My fish and chips was the best!! Some of the best French fries I've had ANYWHERE! Will definitely be going back. Loved watching the NFL game on the big screen too!

Ordered pick up using Uber Eats and the order was ready within minutes. Big burger with french fries on the burger! Insanity. Absolutely delicious and will order from here any time I'm in the area.
