Description

Nestled in Unicoi, this longstanding restaurant has experienced both highs and lows. Although it once enjoyed a stellar reputation for its quality meals, recent reports suggest a decline in food standards, with some dishes being criticized for using inferior ingredients. However, loyal patrons cherish the friendly service and the nostalgic charm of the establishment. Despite varied opinions on food quality and atmosphere, diners appreciate highlights such as the cheeseburger, chicken tenders, and desserts. With competitive pricing and a welcoming vibe, the restaurant remains a beloved spot for quick bites and family gatherings, but some feel it still has room for improvement.

First experience on a Weds was awesome. The cashier was kind and burger and hot fudge cake were awesome. The fudge was hot and portion was generous. Came again and service was so-so, not super friendly. Got there within 10 mins, but for some reason bottom burger bun was mushy. Hot fudge cake was smaller, cake was a bit dry and fudge wasn’t warm. We still enjoyed but will likely return earlier in the week. Food: 4 Service: 4
