"This place has been my go to place for food. I've been going to this place since my 21 years on this earth. The chili cheese fries are superb and a favorite of mine. The people there know my order and tend to finish it before I even finish talking! I would recommend this place if you've got the time and not on a diet."

"We went and I had a keto burger off menu. And they made it perfect. My family had a quesadilla that was the thickest asada queso I have ever saw. And my wife's asada taco had so much meat stuffed into the shells that you could have made 2 or 3 more."

"Been coming here on and off for over 20 years. The breakfast is big and good. Nothing crazy special. Better than a diner breakfast. It’s good and will fill you up. More recently started to come again for lunch Once in a while. Their club is a basic club, but really good and really big. It comes with fries or onion rings, or zucchini (They give you a lot) Chili cheese fries. They are known for their fried zucchini! And onion rings! Club is my go to, but many enjoy that I know the taquitos and breakfast."
