Clean. Bright. Hometown feel. We had a great Banana split but you can get food & meals or take out too.

This is one of those places where you have to come in Family........You can't miss the Appetizers. The fish was delicious.....If you are Trucker like me, the small walk from Love's to this cozy place don't bother you for the delicious homemade flavor! Thanks for you great atrentions Brylar and Trinity.

Food was good, staff is very friendly, worth the slight drive off the beaten path. Good value for the price. Have to make room for ice cream next time. Several flavors of soft serve:)

You cannot get better then here. The ice cream is where it's at (foods also amazing) Biggest ice cream cones around (usually between 6-8" from top of cone. Kids also love the tornadoes. If you have not tried the ice cream cones here you must! Get one to go after you lunch or dinner, but you better eat it fast cause it's huge and will melt fairly quickly!

Plenty of space to park, inexpensive food. Was surprised there was soft serve strawberry/mint/twist in addition to the regular vanilla/chocolate/twist! Tasted great on a hot day! I'll be back!

Best burger ever my friend said on Friday so went out of our way the following Sunday for another. Great shakes and service.

If you're looking for delicious nostalgia, this hard to find treasure is worth finding. I had the best banana split I've had in 50 years. My grandson and his teenage friends had portions large enough to be satisfied.

It was a super relaxing place with great service from the workers. There wasn't much wait between the food service and seating yourself. And it had a very private homey feel to the atmosphere. The food was amazing and they had the best selection of desserts afterwards for your enjoyment. And an especially great place when eating there for the first time like I did. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want a good meal in small groups or just stopping by for a quick snack. And another good work to the staff aswell!
