Staff is super nice, like family (they are). 'Cash only' does prevent us from stopping in some Sunday's after church, because we don't always have cash on hand, but I understand, it helps keep prices down that way. They love onions too! You want onions? Sautéed or raw, you'll get them! Lotsa butter, cream, the way you're supposed to make breakfast. Burgers, soups, desserts, all homemade! (Check out the two 1* reviewers: read their other reviews while you're at it) They are NOT racist, they look the way they look, and work hard. If you're a stranger, and we used to be, they don't open up, it may take a while. They are used to their same local clientele and even we've been there a couple dozen times over two plus years, they're JUST starting to get to know us! (That's how it is often times in smaller towns; they don't experience the constant flow of strangers walking in [We're from Tampa] as in a big city.) But we're not sensitive snowflakes either. Re: Misses B. ridiculous review The 'kitchen' is SPOTLESS. We sit at the counter every time, and we'd have noticed. Hubby was an award winning military cook, (23 years) you can't get higher kitchen and food standards than the military; why? Imagine giving up to 3,000 troops (that's right, 3,000) food poisoning at one sitting! A nightmare of epic proportions! I've worked in restaurants and bars and am now an RN x24+ years. We have ZERO complaints or worries of cleanliness.

There was limited seating, but we got a Seay at the counter no problem. They have a pretty decent breakfast menu and a typical lunch menu including several soup choices. I ordered what I came for, a cheeseburger. I watched them make it on the grill. They started out with a handful of fresh ground beef. Then they smashed it nearly paper thin. The patty was thin and big around. They put slices onions and seasonings on it. When they flipped it over, the onions were grilled into the burger. They also pit a slice of cheese and the top of the bun on.. when it was finished the put it on the bottom half of the bun with the condiments. This burger was very good. What put the burger over the top was the fresh baked bun they used. I was told their buns are brought in fresh daily from a Bakery in Two Rivers. This will be on my best burger list.

We were seated, and she apologized for slow service because two people called off. She was doing her best to cover. After looking at the menu, I decided on the senior spaghetti dinner.this came without garlic bread. The pasta was cooked perfectly. It was not sticky or mushy. The sauce was thin and had little meat. The taste was pretty good. The meal was good, and the menu was extensive. I will be back to check out more items here.

Changed names a few years ago, but it was the former cool who took it over, so it's been a staple of good food in Two Rivers for a long, long time. The burgers are made like a "smash burger" on an open grill... make sure to order with the fried onions. Amazing! I ordered the "Saturday Special" which was Baked Chicken, with all the fixings for $8.75! You can't even eat at McDonald's for that price anymore! Plus this was a full meal, with all home cooked food. Unfortunately this is a tiny place with counter space for maybe 10 and I'm guessing 4 or 5 small tables. Not for a group! They also do not take credit cards so bring your cash! So nice to have these little diners still around. This one is on Hwy 42, so if you are heading to Door County, this might be a great stop to get good reasonably priced food before you get to tourism central in Door County!

I grew up in Manitowoc, left for college at age 18, and just returned as a resident. This place was here when I left and is still here 40 years later. How's that for the test of time!?!?!

My husband I drive past this place nearly everyday and always say "we should try that place"…read more We'll tonight was the night. We arrived around 4:30 and the place was already busy. We were able to find a table right away. Our server was friendly and attentive. Upon reviewing the specials and menu, I decided on the shrimp basket. The dinner comes with choice of soup or salad, and choice of potato. I chose the clam chowder and fries. My clam chowder came out fairly quick, and I was disappointed. It was wayered down and flavorless. I added some salt, pepper and a couple toasted bread chunks and it made it a little better. A short time later my shrimp plate came out, the breading on the shrimp was crispy and seasoned well. The fries were hot and crispy. The shrimp dinner was the redeeming grace from the disappointment of the clam chowder. The dining room is small, and dimly lit, with the tables close together. Overall it was a good experience, and another trip may be a possibility in the future.
