    Cheese steak fries was so good, the meat seasoning was not overpowering, and the white sauce that came on the side was so perfect complementing the whole experience without the feeling too creamy or too saucy. Burger patty was juicy. Surprisingly the chocolate ice cream was good and my rootbeer float wasn’t too sweet.It’s not a fast food place so expect a bit wait and it’s worth it.

    Very cute burger & malt shop! Staff were very friendly, quick, and personable -remembering names or asking names of regulars/semi-regulars. Very clean, the staff was quick to clear & clean tables as soon as the person left.We got Philly Cheese Steaks, regular & spicy -both were on a long warm crisp rolls, super tender meat, and a good amount of melted cheese & peppers.We also ordered onion rings, I love a good crispy onion ring & these were really good!!!

    Definitely a cool place with a very old school 's, 's vibe. Ordered the western burger ( think of burger kings rodeo burger or Carl's Jr's western burger) it was good but nothing spectacular! The onion rings were stacked high on a toasted bun with a small patty. A little pricey with a drink and fries $. Service was good and place was clean. Worth checking out to say you've been there for sure.
