"I got the bbq tangled burger and it was absolutely amazing. Our server was amazing as well and so was the peanut butter pie that we couldn’t stop ourselves from taking home with us. I unfortunately did not take pictures of my burger, but i have no complaints. the fries were amazing as well, i couldn’t even finish them all after i had demolished the burger. Only reason i gave it a four out of five was because they were slightly understaffed at the counter, but i understand that that sort of thing happens sometimes."

"My parents used to come here when they could, they both just passed away lately. The employees were so kind to them and patient and helped them out all they could and for that I thank you. The customers were also very understanding and helpful and kind to them which proofs that kindness still exists out there. The food is very good to, (Thank you Perkins)"

"Came in late just a few minutes before closing. Had been driving all day and had two hungry grandkids. We were met and treated kindly even though closing time was near. Our server didn't rush us or act hasty but have great service and we were leaving just after closing time. Great service is easy at the beginning and middle of a shift, but for some they can finish the course! Thanks for great hospitality to a tired, hungry and traveling family!"
