An amazing food stop near lake hope. Wide selection of food and drinks for the whole family. Must visit if you are in the area, there is plenty of seating for you to relax. We went in the afternoon but it seems they have decorated it with lights so night time will be even better experience.

The BEST food! We have went by plenty of times and never stopped and I'm so so glad we did this time. BEST Reuben I have ever had and the pig nachos were absolutely delicious

Great menu selection! They had flavors I've never heard of before. I tried a cranberry orange shake... Honestly I think it was the best shake I've ever had!! Banana Splits, Sundaes, Cones, Shakes, Frozen Bars, they have it all! I'll definitely be going back there soon! Update; 2 months later I returned and got that cranberry shake again along with a Footlong Coney with onions! Good thing I don't live across the street from this place,

Fantastic little eatery. Very patient with non-locals overwhelmed by their huge menu. Grasshopper, turtle, and mudslide brain freezes, orange-raspberry shake, and cuban sandwich were all fantastic!!!

Milkshakes so thick , you almost need a spoon!!! The banana splits are delectable too. They have a dining room & the billboard offers the specials of the day, I.E. sandwich with drink @ ??? Seems to be busy as well . Stop by and say hi!

This was one of the BEST little places I have ever been! Garbage Fries caught my eye as we passed it. We stopped back and got Shrimp and Clams dinner and Philly Steak BOTH off the chain ! The MUSHROOMS... Now listen to me... Anywhere else, you might get 6-7 mushrooms for 5-6, little Nuke Bombs, guaranteed to take the skin off the roof of your mouth. HERE... for the 12 Large, and I DO MEAN LARGE, it seems they quarter the whole mushroom, hand batter them, and throw the crispies in ( like LJS fish) THESE are an ABSOLUTE MUST ! ABSOLUTELY STOP HERE !!! You will NOT be disappointed !

Dining room was closed, so we ate outside at the picnic tables. Food was great and the portions are huge! You actually get what you pay for here! Fried Tenderloin sammich is HIGHLY recommended! Grandson had a chicken wrap and it must have been 2 pounds! Very friendly staff and your order it up quick! Will definitely stop on our next trip
