Experience Through Their Eyes

An amazing food stop near lake hope. Wide selection of food and drinks for the whole family. Must visit if you are in the area, there is plenty of seating for you to relax. We went in the afternoon but it seems they have decorated it with lights so night time will be even better experience.

Amazing food and cute little restaurant! I had a bbq chicken salad that was fantastic and fresh and my husband had a chicken sandwich and steak fries. The staff was also very friendly.

We had our deluxe footlong hotdogs outside - I highly recommend their footlongs, really good (and I'm not even a hotdog connoisseur). The ice cream (soft serve) was excellent, as well. Very reasonably priced. Nice covered patio outside, but their inside dining room is back open, too.

Fantastic little eatery. Very patient with non-locals overwhelmed by their huge menu. Grasshopper, turtle, and mudslide brain freezes, orange-raspberry shake, and cuban sandwich were all fantastic!!!

Dining room was closed, so we ate outside at the picnic tables. Food was great and the portions are huge! You actually get what you pay for here! Fried Tenderloin sammich is HIGHLY recommended! Grandson had a chicken wrap and it must have been 2 pounds! Very friendly staff and your order it up quick! Will definitely stop on our next trip

Great menu selection! They had flavors I've never heard of before. I tried a cranberry orange shake... Honestly I think it was the best shake I've ever had!! Banana Splits, Sundaes, Cones, Shakes, Frozen Bars, they have it all! I'll definitely be going back there soon! Update; 2 months later I returned and got that cranberry shake again along with a Footlong Coney with onions! Good thing I don't live across the street from this place,
