Very laid back, kind staff, plenty of seating. Always busy and we wanted to check out based on ratings. Fried clams were so delicately fried and fried food usually bothers me and I had no issues. Super yummy. My Shirley temple was also excellently mixed and not overly sweet from too much grenadine. I will definitely return.

Convenient casual spot to grab a burger, lobster roll, or ice cream. It's an old fashioned drive in style eatery that plays 50s music and has tables outside. Food is always good and reasonably priced.

I went to this place for the first time this year and I love the look that they have and how they have enough seating. I had a cheeseburger which was great and I tried my husband's fries and my niece's chicken tenders which were delicious also!!! My husband, sister and I wanted dessert so we ordered three fried dough sundaes once we were done with our meals. When my sister placed the order the girl that was going to prepare them had an attitude and was complaining that we ordered three. I was really upset but patiently waited over 20 minutes for them which was not a problem at all. Once we received them and opened them; they all looked like the picture posted which was upsetting because I think presentation goes a long way. I believe the girl should have waited until the dough cooled down a little bit since she was already not happy then it showed in her presentation. The dough was delicious but I can't really comment about the ice cream yet. No matter what I will try them again when they open back up next year.
