Review
They still have their classic, retro vibe that will take you back to the fifties. They still use the same retro neon sign, chefs at, and booth seating at all of their locations. They offer indoor seating.
They have all of the greasy flavorful classic an America cuisine restaurant would typically have. They are famous for their Stromboli dipping sauce.
Their menu features the recommend Stromboli and dipping sauce, hotdogs, burgers, French fries, chili fries, onion rings, and more.
Part of their reputation is based on having really friendly service and staff. They definitely seem to live up to this reputation. There typically is not a wait.
