"Great little lunch spot. One of the best burgers in town. They have a different plate lunch special every day. Open from 1030am-1pm M-F for lunch - call if you're going to be a little later than that - sometimes the grill and fryers are still on. They also have food many evenings from 6-8pm - bar style food, wings, burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. Friday night dinners are a bigger affair with a full menu and a weekly special - 1st Friday of the Month - Lobster Tails and Steaks, 2nd Friday - Pork Steaks or Ribs, 3rd Friday - Prime Rib, 4th Friday - Steak Special, 5th Friday - Fish."
