Kaylan is one of best employees I've ever seen. The place can be packed and she gets the customers in and out very quickly!!!! Kaylan is always organized, friendly and remembers you by name. If you have a problem shes on it. She really cares about her customers. Keep up the great work. This girl needs a raise!!!!

DEE-lish food, fair pricing, good service. PSA: ALWAYS have them repeat your order back to you. 6 out of the last 10 visits, our order was incorrect, and we didn't catch it until we got home.

My absolute favorite places to eat ,,they really do have the best hot dogs and I love ove the fries as well .My family and I eat there several times a month, mother's favorite people and place . because 10 dollars can feed a family four and that's eating two a piece of them and still sometimes just depends on how hungry we are lol ..the kids live the servers that engage with them .they should consider a closed in heated dining area were the picnic tables are for winter time for those who walk up cause of not having transportation to sit in. The food is so good I give all five stars plus 5. To the cook.

It’s a Root beer stand and on point! The root beer is so good, idk what the secret is but it blows A&W’s out of the water.I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and it was a size fit for a 215lb hungry biker and delicious! Crinkle cut fries were fresh with the right amount of crisp.I had a butter scotch milkshake to follow it up and it was as pleasing as the rest of the meal.If you’re traveling down 25E and hungry, I Highly recommend this place.
