    Big Al burger amazingly good especially that coke cola sauce. Don't sleep on it and desert cookie pie out of this world.

    Find the Pepsi bottle in the display case in the waiting area and tell someone at the front desk before you're seated. Excellent service and the milkshakes were perfect!

    I expected more from this place. There was nothing wrong with it but it was just "ok." Be sure to check to see if they're open if you are planning to stop by in the off-season.

    Very cool place, my only complaint was that my burger was a bit overcooked and bland. However, everything else was phenomenal!

    WAY overpriced... $9 for all kids meals. Crazy Nazis about seating, even though the place is half empty. Never again.
