On any given day, you'll probably find that the parking lot is packed with regulars.
In 2018, a car crashed into the building, leaving locals worried. No one hurt in the accident and the restaurant was renovated while still maintaining its nostalgic charm.

The simple, unassuming nature of the building only adds to its appeal.
The menu consists of the classics - burgers, hot sandwiches, and delicious breakfasts served all day - but everything tastes fantastic, and it's clearly made with love.
