So we decided to go swim near by and I really wanted a hot dog all day. I remember seeing something…read moreabout this place online and decided to try it. The placed closed at 6 and we barely made it on time. But the people working were awesome.We didnt want to eat in because they already had the chairs up even tho they told us we could. We got 4 hot dogs ( 2 each ) Slaw,Chili and so mayo and mustard. i will say the Dog was PERFECT and alot of slaw as well and it was tasty. Me or my wife was not a fan of the chili it was more like hamburger tbh. Didnt have a chili taste. But other then that we loved them the nachos. Well they were nachos but they give you a large cup of chesse and chili and you can get sour cream and anything else. my son loved them tho. All and all its a 4 outta 5 just cause the chili. Place was SUPER clean tho

This place opened a few months ago in an old car repair building. The idea seemed like a shot in…read morethe dark given its location. However, after much trepidation, I chose to see for myself. I am an early riser so I tend to try to get out to eat just as places open. Thus, my pictures usually show empty seats. Do not let this deter you from trying this place. The decor is nostalgic and tasteful. It is spacious yet cozy. You seat yourself so I chose a booth along the front wall. My waitress was prompt and steady checking on my coffee level. The menu had plenty of options from omelets and wraps to breakfast sandwiches and full plate orders including biscuits and gravy. Sorry I forgot to take a menu picture. When my plate arrived, I wasn't sure I could eat it all. As I began to eat my senses were overwhelmed by all the flavors. It's definitely a great spot to get filled and enjoy good food. They also serve lunch. So a trip back later in the day is warranted.

Very easy access from I-81, it's only about a half mile from the exit. GPS took me right to it…read more There is a small sign at the far end of the parking lot and a small one on the building above the door. The easiest way to find it is look for a building that looks like an auto body shop. Parking is on gravel adjacent to the building. The spaces are not marked. There is a handicapped sign to the left of the door. There are a few spaces across the street and more on the side of the building. There is a concrete sidewalk in front of the building. The gravel lot is even with the sidewalk on the right side but there is a small step up on the left. The entrance door is in the middle of the building. Walking in, there is a counter to the left where you pay. Bathrooms are straight ahead in the rear. Seating is a mix of booths and various sized tables. Seating is plentiful but well-spaced so maneuvering around is no problem. There was a sign to seat yourself so we picked a booth along the front of the building near the row of windows. Decor is auto related as would be expected. Lighting is bright without being overpowering. Our server arrived in less than a minute to bring the menus and take our drink order. She returned with the drinks in a couple minutes and took our lunch order. The drinks were in very large, maybe 32oz cups. Our server did come by near the end of the meal to ask if we wanted a refill but we still had just under half the drink left. The food took about 10 minutes to arrive. The bacon cheeseburger was very good. The burger was hot and juicy and served on a fresh and soft bun as large as the patty. The lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh, cold, and crisp. The onion rings were also very good. The batter was crisp and the onion slightly soft, an excellent combination. The Western burger was another winner. The sautéed mushrooms were not mushy and had a nice sauce accompanying them. The sauteed onion and white cheese added additional depth. The meat was juicy and flavorful and the bun soft and fresh. The french fries were thin and crispy but had a nice softness inside. This was an excellent lunch, and each burger was a wonderful flavor sensation. The french fries and onion rings were an excellent accompaniment and deserve mention on their own. Bond-o to Burger also does breakfast and I look forward to trying that soon as well.

This was, possibly, my last visit as I am moving to Pittsburgh, PA, so I decided to try their spicy chicken sandwich and thy added Cajun seasoning to it to take the spice level. It was good.

I had the Cheesesteak with Onion Rings; my wife had The Outlaw Burger and Fried Cheese Curds. The fried food was just OK; the oil tasted fresh but the Onion Rings were not crispy and tasted oily; my wife felt the same about the Cheese Curds. I had high hopes for the Cheesesteak when they asked me if I wanted Whiz or Provolone (I went with Whiz); everything was there but I wasn't wowed by the sandwich. Service was great and it was a pleasant interior. I cannot say anything bad about our visit but nothing great, either.
