    Delicious Burger and Fresh Cut Fries
    Ginger S.

    The Scarlet Vetter says.....Great food, expansive menu, friendly and quick service. Love the decor and set up. Came here with the hubby on a night that I just did not feel like cooking. We were greeted and seated quickly and our drink orders taken. We had a nice semi secluded booth and the noise in the restaurant was a decent level so we could easily converse. Bathrooms were well serviced and clean. The food was quite good. Hubby had Texas Hots (Sahlens Dogs!!) with fresh cut fries and I had a delicious Burger topped with Cheese and Bacon. Yum! We are coming back!

    An Olean staples offering some of the best prepared regional food favorites. Service was so friendly. We felt like we knew the waitress when, in fact, it was the first time we had met her. Now, for the ambience, the simplicity of the decor made it attractive and appealing. The sitting layout works well for managing the high flow of customers this place receives. Another place for our "favorites" list.

    Place is decent. Food options are poor. Hot dog bun was too soft to hold the dogs. Bland! No liquor or wine. ++ Waitress was friendly and attentive. More like a restaurant than the "Bar n Grill", closed Sunday and Monday... + somebody scratched my car in the parking lot. If you see this, pay me.

    This place has the best Texas Hots Sauce in WNY. By default it has the best Texas Hots and garbage plates. Fresh fries are always perfect. Pizzas are good. Reasonable prices.

    Texas Hots... Yum!

    the Chuckwagon is gone but thankfully someone reopenes this vintage spot! the Texas Dogs are similar to the one that use to be up the street. very nice. SADLY though my car got rammed into in the parking lot. Which had No Lighting at all. The large Marquee sign out front wasnt even lit. The offender left no note or informed anyone. I was last customer out.

    After many years of driving by Red & Trudy's to get to our cabin we finally decided to stop in for…read morea quick lunch. My husband and I both ordered the same thing, a cheese burger with a side of fries. We also splurged and got a chili cheese dog and a chocolate milkshake. The burgers were different, loose meat with white American cheese, very simple. The bun was baked to buttery perfection, it was really tasty! The fries were just basic crinkle cut, cooked perfectly though. The chili cheese dog was a little disappointing, there wasn't much chili on there. I probably would stick with the burgers. The milkshake was smooth and creamy. The server was very sweet and helpful despite being really busy! The inside is very small but also very inviting, we loved looking at the pictures of years past that were posted all around. There was an ambiance of nostalgia. Overall for a quick and easy bite to eat I would definitely recommend this place, be sure to have cash handy as it is cash only.

    Stopped in after a 40+ year hiatus. Was a small child last time I went. The restaurant and menu…read moreremind me of 'The Lunch Box' on the tv show Rosanne. When ordering hamburgers or cheeseburgers don't be shocked when they bring you 'loose meat' burgers. They are very tasty however and I suggest you get one with the works. Tried a chili dog with cheese as well, but found it to be 85% cheese and 15% chili. The fries and onion rings are good. The waitress was helpful and rest of the staff was pleasant. It was a very tiny building with not much room.
