“ This is a potatoes stand. There not indoor seating . You walk up to order at window. You can call or order in to make it faster. We went right before closing. They still helped us with happy faces and very polite and fast. Everything was as order they only had 3 potoes left we got them all . Plan on going back. We love the chop beef bake potatoes. Check them out ”
“ The staff is very nice and helpful with suggestions and in general as it was our first time here. They advised us to call in & order early in future as they run out of potatoes even before 8PM but made sure to kindly inform us beforehand. Unfortunately, most of the items were a bit too salty (over-seasoned) and needed maybe a toast as a side otherwise the food was delicious, fresh and portions were generous. As mentioned in other reviews, this is not a dine-in place and has only a few benches on a patio. ”
“ Food was delicious! The burger was so well seasoned, cooked to perfection and perfectly cheesy. My kid loved his baked potato! Love that they take the time to make sure everything is correct and it was ready exactly when the app said it would be! ”
“ The restaurant is in the gas station so I got takeout, but there was outside seating. I got the chicken and broccoli potato my first time and it was delicious an filling. I went back for the beef fajita potato and it was also delicious. The menu has a variety of tastes so if you're feeling undecided looking at the menu can help jog the appetite. I highly recommend! ”
“ I never expected such a good burger from here. It ranks in the top three in town, including Top of the Hill. Service: Food has never been on time but they’ve always been busy. Never more than 10 minutes extra to wait. Atmosphere: attached to a gas station with picnic tables. ”
