We had burgers and ff. Burgers were definitely not your typical frozen patties, fries were fresh cut.Both were excellent we definitely will be back. Place is clean and bright, service was excellent and staff was friendly. Not a huge menu which was refreshing and prices were good. Down in Harrison Co, Ohio. So glad this place has survived the pandemic. We most certainly will return!

Stumbled across this nice place as we were traveling the back roads. The owner was awesome. My husband is handicapped and she and the staff went out of her way to accommodate him. Which was greatly appreciated. Now the food. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries and a beer my husband a BLT onion rings and a drink. Food was very good. Then we got a slice of carrot cake to go. The piece was enough for 2. But luckily my husband don’t like carrot cake so I had it all to myself. It was definitely homemade and one for the best I had. I would highly recommend this place.

My mom and I stopped in for dinner yesterday. The fish and fries were so delicious and cole slaw were also so delicious. My mom had grilled chicken wrap. It was good however she wishes that it was shedding chicken. We also noticed that the place has been fixed up. It looks nice.

Good old fashioned home town place. Friendly service, fast! The good is great. This is the second time I've been here and I will be back. I drove ten miles out of my way to go here, don't miss this place, you will be satisfied.

Stopped in on 12/28/24 after myself and a few friends did some work in the area. I had their prime rib special and let me tell you it was absolutely delicious !!! I paired it with coke slaw which was also delicious and some fresh cut fries. The staff was very pleasant and attentive to us. I highly recommend if you are ever out near Freeport Oh.
