    Went there for lunch twice while on a trip. Great place for original American food. The burger were great and the best part is they make their own chips as they cook the burgers. I could not beleive how good right out of the fryer chips taste. Owners were great. Wish we have one near our home.

    Onion Burger and French fries are amazing. Cook everything after you order. Service was great. Driving thru or live around Elk City I suggest stopping by.

    This is a family owned little restaurant, and our waitress was the daughter of the owners. Her father just passed in Nov, and you could see the sorrow on her face. Our breakfast was good and coffee was just right. Would definitely return. We like to support Mom & Pop places like this.

    Was passing through Elk City and came across this old school burger joint. Service was fast and friendly. We had burgers, fries and steak finger baskets for lunch. The lady behind the counter told me they cut their own potatoes for fries but all other sides are frozen. Was busy at lunchtime. Overall a pleasant experience, it’s always nice to support small businesses in these very rural towns!

    Delicious onion burgers and the french fries order was large and delicious. The staff were genuinely kind friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and was decorated with uplifting quotes and vintage old burger advertisements.
