⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Some voi
The area is unique, and the place really has a home feel. The outside is such an interesting design. The colors pop out in this grey colored world. Front entrance is awesome with the warm lights. I have only gone in the daytime and wonder if they turn on at night. The menu is very simple and to the point. I went with the spicy burger. But really want to try their chicken strips. Also super exited to try the onion rings. It’s always nice and cool in this place, perfect to cool off in the summer. The ketchup plus home made sauce is sooooo good with their fries. Amount of food is also priced perfectly in this economy. Take everyone you know, your moma, your pops, grandma, neighbor, or a co-worker. Service is QUICK. As soon as I sat down from getting my own drink I got called. It doesn’t mean anything was of less quality. I really can tell they made everything fresh.

Very great place for a burger of cheesesteak. I had the single patty with cheese combo which was less than $9! My friends had the cheesesteak combo for around $12. Burger was delicious and fries were as well and a big portion. I definitely will go again to try other burgers and the onion strings.

Burgers were super juicy & flavorful. Love that you can add *special sauce makes the difference, def recc! The onion strings were super huge portion & fries were fresh & crispy even by the time we got home from the drive thru.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — A
We got a regular hamburger and a spicy cheeseburger, each with fries and a drink. The ingredients such as the lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh. The patties tasted like they were freshly cooked. The potatoes were really good. The seasoning was nice, and they tasted like they were made right there and then. There were already a few people when we got there. It's definitely a casual spot, mostly known to the locals as it appeared to have a lot of regulars. The cashier wasn't the friendliest but wasn't rude. She was a bit rough around the edges.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — David Mazzarella
Was looking for fast food when I passed this place and I am so glad I stopped in. This family owned place had the most delicious food made to order and ready faster than most other fast food places. Tables, drink station, and condiments were all clean and readily available. Wish I wasn't just passing through so I could stop by more often.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tony Acciarri
Great cheese steak and fries. Fries were fresh cut and hot. Huge portions on the fries as well. Burgers and great too. Lots of great food for the price.
