“ #5 Bacon Burger with a Strawberry Mountain Dew! This was my go-to as a kid, and it still is to this day! We live in Phoenix now, but we come home to visit twice a year. This is always our fist stop! It is also nice to see the same familiar faces, as well. Great staff! ”

“ The food was great. The waitress was super nice and the prices were from 1975. A chicken sandwich, large fries and root-beer was 8.60 Highly recommended ”
“ Yeah so it is AMAZING. The onion rings are plentiful, crisp and a bit sweet. The burgers are hardy. The fries are Somehow crisp and soft at the same time. Blue Mt Dew; DO NOT miss that. But let’s get real the winner hands down for days is the Shortcake. It’s a big cup of ice cream with a shortcake on the bottom with strawberry sauce and a wisp of whipped cream. It isnt just ice cream, it’s a symphony. I ordered a second to take home. Did I tell you the best part? It’s super affordable. That monster bag of onion rings is 2. The symphonic shortcake is 1. Seriously Downside: All in the car. I’d like to sit out at a table and order all day. ”
