Reservations

The restaurant was almost full when we arrived around 7pm on a Friday, but we managed to get a table without waiting.

Items Ordered

Two Sliders

Two Sliders

The sliders were available in three different meats - beef, chicken, or turkey. Each meat came with an associated sauce. Although we ordered two sliders, they had to be the same meat to get the "two for $8" deal. Each slider contained 3oz of meat, and they were served with two slices of pickle, battered and deep fried. The buns were a little burnt, and the burger wasn't cooked well-done as requested. The sliders were a bit plain with little else but burger and bun.

Stand Burger, Fries, and Milkshake

Stand Burger, Fries, and Milkshake

The stand burger was excellent. It was 8oz of deliciousness topped with a little bit of shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a greasy bun. It also came with a lightly spiced ketchup/mayo-like sauce that adds a nice flavor to the burger. Like the sliders, it was served with two slices of fried pickle.

The $5 sweet potato fries were great value - it was a huge serving, and could probably have been shared between three people. The fries were pretty average sweet potato fries, and I was pleased with them.

The toasted marshmallow milkshake was also excellent. It tasted mostly like vanilla, but was a lot "fluffier". It was served with two lightly toasted marshmallows on top.
