Fast, clean, large portions, & low prices. Food was tasty especially for the price. Service was friendly and very accommodating. Diner was very clean. Great hole in the wall. Will be back.

Food was excellent! We had the Mexican burger, the outback burger, and the frickles. Everything was tasty, and it came out very quickly. Atmosphere was comfortable and laid back, and clean. Service was attentive and prompt. Would definitely recommend!

Great little restaurant. The shantytown burger and spiced cake were both tasty. The cheese curds and tater tots were also done well. We had the daily special which was a chicken sandwich, sauce was lovely. Reasonable prices, would highly recommend!

Great shanty burger and tater tots. I was asked how I wanted the burger and ordered it medium rare. Like many who order their burgers this way I'm accustomed to ending up with a medium well and just accept it. I actually heard one of...Read More

Honestly one of the best hole-in-the-wall bars I've ever been to. The staff is really friendly, the food is really good, and the prices on both food and drink are very reasonable. If you're in the area, check this place out!

What a wonderful old time bar and restaurant. Service is quick and efficient. Their menu is varied, and there certainly is something for all. Hamburgers are outstanding. Pork cutlet sandwich was served on grape bread and was extremely tasty
