Plus, I overheard and interaction with the guy working and some Penske customers and he was super nice and went out of his way to make them happy.

Their scoops are a decent size, so one scoop for each of my kids was plenty. I really enjoyed my drink - wonderful flavor coming through. It was so good that even my boys liked it. Kale! There weren't any other customers, but it was chilly outside. They also sell snacks and they have a little quarter vending machine, which is a nice touch. Plenty of parking. I'm a fan!

The woman who helped me was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful -- even gave me a free sticker, a loyalty card, and napkins "just in case" I decided to enjoy a sweet on the drive home. It's the little touches that make a business stand out. This is the level of service every place should strive for. Amazing experience -- definitely coming back! Snickerdoodle cookie was amazing!

The fact that this place is NOT Freddy's is... maybe good. The burgers aren't AS crispy, or salty. However that isn't bad. The meat is flat as expected, but good and crispy. The fries, need salt.

The ribs were tender with a nice smoky flavor and came off the bone clean. The tri tip was just as solid, juicy and well seasoned with that classic barbecue taste. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the baked beans had a good balance of sweet and savory. The lemonade was cold and refreshing and worked well with the meal. The atmosphere is a big part of the experience. Rustic, lively, and full of character. It feels like a true desert spot with history behind it. The place can get busy, but the staff kept things moving and were friendly throughout. This place loves to its hype. Definitely more than just a meal. It's the kind of place you go for the full experience, and I'd come back again.

Came with pickled onions, a pickled jalapeño half and lemon. They were covered in a most delicious salsa and spicy too. They're piled high on 2 street taco sized tortillas each. So much I easily split them and made 4 tacos. I also had the freshly made chicharrones with the same spicy salsa. I believe it's habanero based. The place has great atmosphere. Diner on one side and dive bar looking on the other side. The diner side is dark and dimly lit, it's really cool looking. And they have different retro radios sitting on each diner table.

There's a lot of little trinkets. It reminded me of going to childhood parties and getting the little favors inside the pinatas or inside the party bags. They have a smaller selection of snacks/desserts/foods but their main attraction is wines. I'm not sure if I would go in here looking for something specific. I think you come in here willing to let the store tell you what it is you need. Just go in there to browse and see what you end up leaving with.
