I love the old school ice cream soda fountain vibes here. You also really get your moneys worth. Yesterday I got a chocolate peanut butter malt. It was heavenly. The nice lady who took my order and made the malt even double checked with me that the malt had the perfect balance of peanut butter in it for me. Which was honestly over the top kind. This place was really busy which I totally get when it was so hot out ice cream is always a hit. I would love to stop in again and you should too.

We checked their menu online and it was clearly on the bottom of the menu, as AYCE Wings. When we got there, we were extremely disappointed. Apparently, it was AYCE chicken nuggets, not wings. And we're not talking like boneless wings, we're talking school lunch chicken nuggets. Reluctantly, I ordered them. It was $10 and you got a choice of two wing sauces. When I finished the basket of nuggets, the bartender/waitress passed by my empty basket (along with my empty soda glass) numerous times, until I asked for more. I wasn't offered any different sauces or if I needed more. I have been here once before and was really happy with the burger I got, but this last experience will have me thinking twice about going back.

This was totally delicious! The burger was fresh, prepared perfectly, and balanced. The beer cheese soup was savory and great for a fall evening in WI :)

There is no fryer so no fries or onion rings but they do offer a bag of classic Lays chips in case you need that salt or crunch.

But you need to ask for that even if you say, "the works". Burger was good, it's really inexpensive and fast. I can see why there is a following for this place. Cash or check only.

My partner went for a scoop (which they loved), but I decided to try something different and got the ribeye steak melt sandwich.

Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want something beyond just dessert.

The place needs a deep cleaning, servers could have been more attentive and the menu has room for expansion. A friend and I ate there on a day where other local establishments were closed. The full parking lot may have been because of those businesses not being open. My friend had a soda that was flat and tasted off. He was never offered a refill. He had a chicken breast sandwich which he described as average.i had the Cubano breakfast sandwich. It was underwhelming. Here are a couple of oddities; no fries or tots. Hash browns, American fries or red baked potatoes. No deep fryer? No air fryer? For as greasy as the place felt, bringing in a deep fryer would be a good investment. Also, buns on sandwiches not toasted. A small touch like that would have helped the taste quite a bit. Overall, knowing there are better options in the area (when they are open), I'd suggest looking for one.
