Experience Through Their Eyes

While looking for NEW places to ride, within 2-3 hrs, we discovered this AWESOME place. So after around 115 miles we arrived. I got 6oz. Steakburger loaded with bacon and tots, wife and friend got the same, but with fries. It was PERFECT and DELICIOUS!!!! Our waitress came back to the table frequently to check on us. Overall was an excellent experience. Will Definitely be back soon.

My wife and I live in the local area and we stopped here after fishing. Great food, great service and great prices. The last trip I had the Pork Tenderloin. Yippes!!! Depending on who you are it could be one, two or three sandwiches. For me it was one. Had Tater Tots to go with it. YUMMMMMM!!!! All you could eat Tater Tots too. If you come out hungry, it's you own fault.

Stopped while doing a motorcycle road trip, so happy I did. It was a Saturday morning, and Crystal killed it, waiting on me. They had all you could eat breakfast at a very good price point, lots of value and great food. Oh, the Cinnamon roll was fantastic...

Visiting family in Wendelin and it was our first time here. Thanks for the tasty, quick-to-the-table eats at an unexpected time. We had two pork tenderloin patties the size of your face, a chicken sandwich, and a huge BLT. Also the best cooked tots! We will be back, Brian

First time visiting this establishment. Found it via Google. So glad we went with the suggestion. I had the chicken strips and tots. My husband had the shrimp and tots. The portions were huge. The food was perfect. And the barbeque sauce was some of the best I have ever had. And this native Texan knows her sauce. The waitress was amazing. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a wonderful first visit.
