What People Say

LOCAL REVIEWS

"Best burgers in the area, hands down. The Hot Rod Classic is exactly what it sounds like — hot, juicy, and impossible to eat without a napkin in your lap."

Local Visitor

Elizabethtown

"Stopped in with the family on a weekend evening. Kids loved the shakes, I devoured the ribeye. Service was quick and the vibe is exactly what a neighborhood grill should feel like."

Regular Customer

"I drive past a bunch of chains every day and still make the turn onto White Lake Dr. for this place. The fries are actually crispy, not soggy. That alone is worth the stop."
