$10.00 Breakfast Burrito! Well 10.89 with tax but it was delicious. I had the bacon and it didn’t disappoint. Only regret is not asking for two salsas. Excellent service, excellent food. This is my second visit and both times were great. Not pictured is the side of...Read More

Pleasantly surprised! It's probably one of the best homestyle burgers. Very good portion. I had the Ortega Swiss burger with Sweet potato fries combo. The fries were crunchy and tasteful. The burger felt like the patty was handmade. Definitely going back to try the rest.

Bacon cheeseburger combo and an extra side of fried mushrooms; absolutely delicious! Been around for about 30years, place is a little run down especially with the local unhoused wandering the parking lot.. but great food and service.

A very classic short order restaurant with great food and great prices! Pictured is the grilled chicken breast salad. The chicken had excellent grilled flavor, and was cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. We will certainly be coming back!

I've been a customer for years and usually use the drive thru. It's my go to place when I'm in a hurry or not in the mood to cook. The service is a 10 and very happy with the food and quantity.

Delicious food, wonderful prices. It may be labeled as a burger joint, but definitely worth trying their Greek food. Great drive thru, classic Americana styled interior

Old school diner with great fresh food, fast quality service and the right vibes. Couldn't even finish the 1/2 lb burger because it was so big. Very delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Food is good. Been there a few times. Sometimes portions are real big and other times small. Would be happy if they always made sure to serve big portions like the potatoes, fries and onion rings. Especially because it's pricey. But food is good.

This is a family owned restaurant. The staff is almost always smiling when I come through. Most of the time the woman that I believe owns this place is interacting with her happy staff. …
