The broasted chicken is so delicious, moist and crispy crunchy! The crinkle fries are super crispy and perfectly seasoned! I haven't tried anything else from here only the broasted chicken dinners and a rainbow cone. The coleslaw is ok I did get bad coleslaw once out of the many times I've gone but would still recommend.

I have been coming here for years. Customer service is on point. Always greeted by my name every time I enter. I always order the broasted chicken. It's amazing! I recommend getting all the spices on it.

Amazing hot dogs and fries! Stopped here with the kids after a baseball game, and the owners were so nice! They're typical conversational Greeks and were cracking jokes with the kids. Will definitely return! Cash only, so the prices are reasonable but come prepared.

The Broasted chicken. Soooooooo good! Well seasoned, crispy, juicy. Cole slaw is always fresh. The potato wedges are perfectly cooked. I stop in every couple of months over the last 10 yrs.

I came here for the broasted chicken because I heard it was good and it was amazing, the best I had in the area. I got the broasted potatoes as the side and love them. Service was great. The only thing I didn't know in advance is it's a cash only business and I wasn't prepared and had to go to the nearest atm. I definitely will be going back again and again.

This mom and pop place is going to be my Go To burger spot. Even though they are known for their Broasted chicken (which I still need to try), my boyfriend was craving a wholesome burger, so I scoured Yelp and Google for a place. I found this one - which wasn't even listed on Yelp. It's a cash only spot that's been there for ages. The owners are a married couple who take your order, cook your food, and ring you up. It's a two person dream team. When you arrive, you tell the man what you'd like (chicken, hot dog, or burger) and he starts putting it together. If you order a burger, he puts out two buns and then has you tell him what you want on it (similar to subway/chipotle), so you know your order will be correct. When you order fries, the woman takes them out of the fridge and puts them in the oil. When they're done cooking, the man hold up the salt shaker and asks you whether you want any ( this is great for customers who can't have much salt). Then the woman rings you up. For two cheeseburger meals, with one cheese fry, and one regular fry (plus extra added for our dog), and two drinks the total was about $14. The cheeseburger 5/5 - cooked to order - fresh ingredients - perfect proportion of condiments : mustard, ketchup, and Mayo - the patty may be skinny, but it wasn't over cooked; there was even a little pink (I usually order rare to med rare, and believe me having any pink in a thin patty is nigh impossible). It was also a large diameter. My guess is it was 1/4 - 1/3lb of meat. - other toppings : lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles The cheese fries: 4+/5 - Crinkle cut - made to order - salted per your liking - the cheese sauce is actually like a really good nacho cheese. It's not spicy. It's warm. But I was expecting melted cheese, not a sauce, which is why I deducted a star. If I had known going into it that it was a cheese sauce, I still would have ordered it. And the cheese sauce is good, but I just wish I knew ahead of time that it was a sauce. The lemonade: 3.5/5 - this is not from a fountain, which I was stoked about - I'm not sure if this is homemade or not - It wasn't too sweet - it was good, and I would get it again. It wasn't the best lemonade I've had, but it was far better than most. I will definitely be back. I need to try their chicken, but whenever I'm having a burger craving, this will be where I go. Tip: fried chicken takes 15 mins to make no matter if you order 2 pieces or 50, so the owner recommends calling ahead.
