    Kids enjoying nuggets and fries!
    Michelle L.

    Cute little restaurant with a lot of history. Big Al used to own the place. Now a friendly man named Arturo owns it. Very tasty burgers and it's rare that I feel like I had too many fries . Didn't get the chance to try the Mexican food which sounded like it was also good here. The kiddos enjoyed their chicken nuggets and fries.

    Nice seating area with room for a crowd and delicious food.

    Great location, parking and super comfortable seating with a good crew of construction workers finishing up lunch - always a good sign. The pastrami sandwich was quite good with plentiful meat but the rye bread could use a little beefing up. The onion rings were excellent. My son had the enchilada/taco combo and was thoroughly pleased !

    The absolute best place to get an inexpensive meal in Ashland. Best place to get a greasy spoon style burger in the valley.

    If you're looking for a good battered fish n' chips, this is the place for it. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by how delicious and well coated this was. They make each order freshly fried. The fish was moist and the batter crispy. Which, is very hard to find. I don't know if I was just hungry because of a mini walk through Emigrant Lake or the smell of the dish. Whatever it was I can't recommend this place more. They also have a nice selection of house-made hot sauces. They are each different but undeniably tasty. The only thing I warn anyone of when you are trying anything spicy is to take a small taste of it first. Carolina Reapers and habaneros are pretty intense chili peppers. I liked how balanced everything was and the drinks they serve there are also great pairings for anything you order. It's a small spot and can get busy but I wouldn't hesitate to come here any chance I can. PS. Burgers are also made to order and delicious too.

    I'd originally left a one star review months ago and felt like a jerk. So I took it down and…read morecontinued visiting. Most times it was ok. The burgers always taste good so I've really tried to ignore the crap customer service but last night was the last time I'll spend money here. Not only was there 0 friendliness or gratitude for having people wanting to spend money in this space, the person working looked like he'd rather be doing anything other than be there. We all have crap days, but we also all have to put on a smile when working in customer service. I do it everyday. In addition, prepping food with bare hands and going back and forth ringing people on the register is disgusting. I really didn't want to take my order but I wanted to interact with the person working even less, he seemed so miserable. I'd rather frequent any other place in town that actually values their customers and prepares food in a clean manner. I'd love to say this is the first time I've felt this way or seen this kind of thing here but it isn't. They seem to know they'll have business either way so who cares about doing things right. So disappointed. $40 for 3 dirty burgers (thankfully we skipped ordering fries this time).
