"I should break 4 MILLION with this review :) ..This is a place where they know their costumers names. Nice little local spot diner style. Old building, decor etc.. Love the vibes and the enthusiasm for the costumers, real personal place. Spend a lot of energy providing good service but no extra time spent on the food. You get a prepared (Frozen) 8oz. Patty. Which is fine if you can figure out how to get that natural taste into one, or any taste for that matter. I got it plain lettuce tomato, etc which was all fresh,. I opted to pair it with a Huge drink and 5 onion rings that taste as if they not only had been frozen too Long but an after thought as well. For the $ I leave here feeling disappointed that I am disappointed. I strongly Dislike saying anything bad about local family spots trying to keep the doors open and provide. However if they don't care any more about the product they are putting out then maybe it shouldn't bother me for what I have to say. Have some pride Compete, go to a local competition, do something, raise the bar even if we have to pay $2 more. GO Sloopy & BTW this was my 3rd time here Guys over a 2 year period why they are just now getting a review , for all my locals didn't bother with pics, everyone knows where it is."
