"GEORGIA, Cartersville's BEST KEPT SECRET!!!! What A Great Place to Celebrate a 50th Birthday with Friends!!! The Atmosphere, nostalgic posters, and the tunes... the old time music from our era made it the Perfect evening!! CLASSIC ROCK, PoP, 70', 80's and 90's...
The Food, was off the chain Delicious! So wonderfully displayed on a plate with pictures that could never do the Taste justice .. even the chef made his rounds table by table to check on us ...I will say the piled high Nachos are boasting with a flavor that is so undesirable, yum!!!. I should have ordered a half of an order...there was plenty for 2 or 3 to share! The service was the BEST!!! literally, Ms. BEST, it was her last name, showed us exactly how service should be . She raised the bar in service for others...!.Seriously...if you don't try this place you are missing out!!! What an experience!!!! Be fair warned.. for the fun of it, the bathrooms are labeled Democrat and Republican.. what a hoot!!! Lastly, Leave some room for the desert.. it was so worth it!!!! Beautiful and tasting so delightful!!!
Thanks Ate Track..We will be back!!!"

"Groovy!!! Love it all. The menu was fantastic, originals with tasty creative dishes. Everything is a must try. From the potato chips (amazing) to the monstrosity burger. A definite must and worth the hour drive. If you lived in the 70s, it’s a must. If not, it’s a well-done tribute."
