    My husband and I ‘spun the wheel’ and found this little restaurant. Just let me say, it’s little in size but BIG on taste! Soon after we got there, they were writing the specials on the board (see pic). But we decided to order off the menu, and let me tell you—no regrets! We had the fried bologna sandwich. A couple of things made it perfect in my book—the bun was browned, and the bologna was not only about 3/4 inch thick, but it hung about an inch over the bun. Service was quick, even tho they were packed. Since it was our first visit, we asked the gentleman who wrote the menu board if they have frog legs every night. He said they don’t have them as a special, but they generally always have them. About 10 minutes later, after we had our meal, he brought a small order of frog legs, winked, and said, ‘I may have cooked these too long. Give them a try!’ They we’re actually cooked to perfection, did not have that ‘fishy’ taste, and had a crust that stayed on well. We left there full and satisfied and will definitely return!

    The food comes out piping hot made to order. Each of the servers checked on us to make sure we were okay, not just the main one who took our orders and such. Prices are reasonable and you leave full.

    This a good place to eat. The burger the waitress recommended was great. I would recommend giving this place a try.

    Tiny little hole in the wall. The food and beer are great! The atmosphere is amazing. What a fun vibe! Limited seating, so go early or be patient!

    Local; very friendly environment. Even though the potatoes were not hot, if you want the "Thanksgiving, family feel" experience, give this place a try. The green beans are amazing!!! And the drinks are great!! I am not a fan of spicy food and the meatloaf had a kick to it but it was well worth the spiciness.
