    Al Burger with Chips!
    Derrick S.

    Amazing little diner tucked away in a downtown setting. Friendly service and tasty food. A nice break from our road trip.

    Great experience. Super friendly staff. Al burger was amazing. It's not a beef burger but it's tons of meat and delicious. Talked with a few patrons and they told me about the town and its history.

    Unique, one of a kind restaurant, very attentive staff, menus items that can't be found anywhere else like the Big Al. Something for everyone. Worth the 5 minute drive off 77.

    Friendly service, cheap prices, average food. Mashed potatoes were from a box and gravy from a can.

    We were one of two cars in the lot, so we figured we'd have a quick dinner and be on our way…read more And order of tenders/fries, a standard breakfast (eggs/bacon/biscuits), and a half sandwich/soup. When the breakfast was ordered, the server left before it could be specified. My wife had to catch her to tell her scrambled eggs. She started to walk away again, my wife stopped her to tell her bacon. Off she went, my wife had to stop her and tell her biscuits. It seems that if you order breakfast without swiftly specifying, you'll get over easy eggs, bacon, and yet to be determined bread option. It took a very long time, and we learned that they had two new cooks. No problem, it's going to take longer. Cool. Waitress kept our drinks filled, was friendly, explained things. No problem. Food arrives, my daughter's tenders and fries arrived. Only 2 of three tenders. Seriously overcooked tenders. My daughter ate one and left the other. My wife only has her scrambled eggs and bacon. We learn then that they were out of biscuits and they just started them. It would be twenty minutes. My sandwich and soup were great, no complaints. Overall, we were there for well over an hour and received only a portion of what we ordered, some of it burnt beyond being edible. I thought it would be reasonable to get a discount. Server couldn't help, which I understand, but she got the manager. The manager offered 10% off. The lack of customer service skills displayed by the manager was absolutely wild. BTW, this was the first time I have ever asked to be comped in my life and it was miserable. Strongly suggest bypassing this location. We'll continue to frequent other Bob Evans locations as it's a favorite.

    Madeline, our server was friendly and attentive. I had the Turkey dinner. It was excellent. All…read morethe employees were friendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant experience!

    Been meaning to stop in since a long ago Guy Fieri episode of Diners Drive ins and Dives, plus…read moreplaying Fallout 76. It worked out for us on the drive back from Louisville. The set up is hilariously insane, worth the stop alone. The cashier was fun and friendly, and the graffiti in the women's room was inspiring! I have a basic bitch stomach, so got the "Puppy" with just ketchup. Sproßling got the Mothman, garnished with I believe onion rings and 1000 Island. Husband got his smothered in jalapeños. We split a full size onion rings, which were hot and tasty. We all had Gold Peak tea. The dogs tasted great, if I had a normal stomach I would have gotten a second one. As it was, we were in and out and back on the road quick as a wink!

    Well this place is not a place you are going to pass by on the way to anywhere you would travel…read more Our really good friends (the husband who recently passed) is from West Virginia and they spoke of this place. We planned a trip to Williamsburg, VA over the week after Christmas. Coming from SoIN/Louisville KY area we are going I-64 E. About 200 miles later (and about 20 miles round trip out of the way) we ended up at Hillbilly Hot Dogs. So about the food... you'll see the pics of the dogs we ordered. Not fantastic hot dogs, but a good experience. The service was impeccable. If you left a tip the cashier sang a song. She had a really nice voice too! This place has a 3 choices for huge hot dogs with a couple of pounds of toppings. The Homewrecker, the Widowmaker, and Pick Yer Wrecker. We saw a guy and his wife eating one as we were leaving, and it was epic. It was a fun place to go to see some the nostalgia in the "old-time" things hanging as the decor.
