Small town greasy spoon. What's not to like? Burgers, fries, shakes, chili dogs, onion pedals, and more.

We stopped in for some breakfast. I forgot to take a picture before I tasted the biscuits and gravy. As you can see in my photos that it was just too good to stop. And it tasted all homemade.

It is our stop before we go to the wilderness and first place go when we come off the mountain. It's the burger I think about when someone says" want a burger" It's a burger joint, and they do it right.

We had the fish sandwich and I had tater tot's while my husband had the fries. It was just ok. The service was ok but they didn't know how anything came. Like what does the grilled cheese have, or what is on the fish sandwich. The food was pretty quick. While they do have outside seating the sun was beating down right on the tables so it was a bit warm outside.
