Great place! Food was superb. Try the Corn Fritters! Burger was outstanding and fries some of the best around. Thursday Burger special included Braxton Brewing’s Bavarian Lager - also excellent. Staff is very friendly.

We had a really nice meal there. Ben, our server was great. He told us he was new to the position, but did a outstanding job like a seasoned veteran. He did not know the answer to one of our questions, but immediately admitted he didn't and promptly got the answer for us. Really nice job!
