I count calories and the app found this place by scanning my meal. This burger fit my remaining limit with good protein and tasted great. The dining room has a nice, simple atmosphere.

On 8/20/2026 Andrew had this to say:
Great small town bar. Friendly staff. Not very large. But it makes you feel like one of the locals. Met the owner. It is apparently her own beef. You can tell. The burgers are GOOD!

On 8/10/2026 Meg Hanley had this to say:
Stopped in for burgers and sandwiches. Staff was friendly, food was good, and the kids said they have the best french fries in the entire world! Will be back.

On 8/4/2026 Amanda had this to say:
Highly recommend the wings!

On 8/2/2026 Erika T. had this to say:
We'll return when we're back. We ordered: Cheese burger - 10/10 Italian beef - 9/10 Grilled cheese with bacon 8.5/10 *recommends Texas toast* Despite the higher price, it was worth it following our previous experience up the road. Service was great, it was a cute hidden gem I'd say! The booths are tiny but we didn't mind it. It definitely gave the older dive vibe. A local hot spot if you will. They also had canned soda was a plus for me. Overall, it was a 9/10 experience and highly recommend!!
