“ I have been waiting to eat here. I love hot dogs. The Coneys were very good. I had them topped with chili and coleslaw. The chili was meaty but had no kick. The coleslaw was good. The fries were hot and crispy. They serve Coke products. The waitress was attentive. They had a good variety of sandwiches. The special was barbecue, slaw, a side and a drink for under 10. I will be back. ”

“ Im always in the lookout for great small local eateries. I happen to stumble on this little gem of a place. First the service is so old school. They welcome you in as if you were a family member making you feel right at home. The food here is fresh and made to order. Though I only ordered fried and a hot dog it was a great meal and did taste over processed. I will be back soon and often. ”
