Great experience all around.

If you have never had locally grown beef, it makes a difference. I went with my go to patty melt with fries extra crispy. I added chili to my fries which is not a norm for me. I did not love the chili but I think I was distracted with my fries getting soft, logically, but I did not think ahead. The patty melt was amazing! Pricing is normal for these days. Overall atmosphere perfectly small town, food wonderful and service very good. I've included several pictures of the menu. I think anything on it would excellent.

The sweet potato fries were crispy and full of flavor, and the shakes were creamy and thick -- definitely worth ordering.
