Love having this little gem so close to home! Their burgers are all delicious, but our fave is the sweet and spicy Hawaiian burger. And omg get the chili cheese tots with shredded cheese and ground beef. Delicious. This family is doing a wonderful joband absolutely providing a service that would be much missed by the community were they to ever decide to close up shop. Lovelove love their food!

The food here is fantastic, and the atmosphere is wonderful—perfect for pets and kids. The prices are quite reasonable. Brad and his family are friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up: be sure to bring cash for tips, as while they accept card payments, you can't add a tip to the card. Keep up the great work!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I absolutely would. It's a cozy, small-town burger joint with outstanding food. I've been here at least ten times, and I've never been let down. The prices are comparable to those of chain restaurants, but the quality of the food surpasses them by far. If you're looking for somewhere new to try without the risk of disappointment, you should definitely come here. They've recently expanded to include an indoor dining area, which only enhances their appeal. Without a doubt, this is the best burger I've ever had. I also want to mention that it's family-owned, and the staff are exceptionally polite and courteous. This is truly an excellent small business.
