I ordered a double cheeseburger, and I almost regretted it because it was enormous, accompanied by a generous serving of fries. You can really tell that the burger is handmade, with that delightful homemade flavor. It’s honestly the best burger I’ve had in years. The woman who runs the place is fantastic as well; if you’re friendly, she’ll return the good vibes and maybe even share some interesting stories. There are plenty of regulars who frequent the place, and I would be one of them if I lived even remotely nearby.

I love this kind of place. No sign, no waitress, cash only, you bus your own table and its all locals inside. The food is pure American faire. Huge portions, fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection. Nothing fancy just damn good. If I'm on hwy 1 I'm stopping.
