My family is from South Florida and we were in the area for a wedding. We went for dinner tonight, and it was Incredible. The food was so good and the employees that were working were very friendly. If we are ever back on the area we will be going back!

Hidden gem, home of the best burger in Southwest Michigan! The garbage burger with literally any choice of fried snacks on the side cant go wrong. Cash only, but ATM on site.

The ladies were both great and lots of fun to visit with. The burgers are awesome! Garbage Burgers and Bacon Cheese Burger were all great! We had fried mushrooms, pickles, corn nuggets and mozzarella sticks, they were all great too! Cant wait to come back.
