"I love this place. If I had to compare it to In and Out, I would say the difference between both places is the bread. Overall, the best burger in town. This is what fast-food should be! A must try if you are around and want fast food but want real burgers. I am a regular, def. ask for Mochi. She's the best and is super friendly. The restaurant has been around since 1942. It was also in the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives because it's so amazing! If you don't know what to order just get a cheeseburger with the works. I've eaten other things on the menu but their burgers are a must try. Just beware, their chili-cheese hotdog is very spicy. Not a regular spicy, more of a sweating type of spicy. You will need water or a milkshake. My toddler loves their milkshakes. If you get a milkshake, they will give you a medium size. So, specify if you want a small."

"After all the reviews I still decided to try this place and to my luck I found a reddish blonde hair inside my hot dog. It was disgusting now I’m not even eating my fish sandwich I’m freakin traumatized. Burned,oily and dry sandwich never again ."

"This was our second time ordering from here. I can't comment about the inside or anything like that because all we did was place it to go order via the Internet but the food is delicious and decently priced. They offer breakfast all day as well as several other options. You won't be disappointed."

"I used to LOVE this place and would gladly drive 40 minutes away for it, but after my experience today, I’m not ever coming back! I genuinely do not have one good thing to say about it. I spent $25 on a broken hot dog bun with a few pieces of lobster in it. I could tell by both the taste and texture of the lobster that it was dried out and not fresh AT ALL. The little container of “butter” it came with was unnaturally orange. $7 on some New England Clam Chowder that was loaded with a thick layer of grease on the top, easily the greasiest clam chowder I’ve ever seen. Came with a packet of stale oyster crackers so I couldn’t even have them. The mozzarella sticks are $4.75 for 4 little pieces that fit into a tiny basket as small as the palm of my hand. Was a good thing I got a couple orders of those. My daughter didn’t even want to touch her chicken sandwich. In total I spent $53 for one of the most disgusting meals I’ve had in a long, long time. This place isn’t what it used to be. These prices are absolutely wild for the ridiculously small portions and low quality of the food. I will no longer recommend this spot to anyone."

"I grew up in the area in the 60s and 70s and wanted to visit this place because of the memories of good food. Well I was not disappointed. We had hotdogs and they were as good as I remember. My dog with mustard, relish and sauerkraut had the "snap" and flavor I crave and haven't found elsewhere! We also had sweet potato fries which were delicious as well. A side of ranch made them perfect. We dined inside and had a very nice experience. I am glad I stopped by and will savor the memory!"
