“ It be the small town hole in wall with the best food! And very reasonably priced!!! Customer service can be a hit or miss, but they have great customer here!!! I ordered a Regular Cheeseburger. Even though they accidentally put mustard versus mayo I still throughly enjoyed it! It was the thinnest layer of mustard which is why I didn't make a fuss. This burger was bomb!! The next day my cousins and I drove back out there and that time I got a Snickers Cyclone & a Taquito (not pic'd). Loved 'em both! #VisitingFromDallasTX ”
