I use a walker, a d due to its bulky size I chose to leave it outside on the sidewalk, by the front door. 1 seat left at the counter, so I grabbed it. I ask the gentleman sitting there if he minded if I sat and joined him. He said sure. Capt. Doug Clark of United Airlines and I had an amazing trip down memory lane or was it a taxiway that we were on. I was so honored to be in his presence. This Man amongst men is a bonified National Treasure. His list of accomplishments is longer than the runway at Edward's. Thank you, Sir. OH yeah, the food was great and the ladies working there are so good at their jobs and so sweet. A special place to eat.
My father and I stopped in to grab a bite and we enjoyed the food but we enjoyed the atmosphere even more. Very polite and welcoming staff that didn't mind a little chain pulling. We had a lot of laughs with the employees and it is definitely a place that I would go back to. Thanks for your hospitality!
Great price, fresh food, and quick service. Couldn’t be happier with this restaurant! I go there every week and sometimes buy enough food for the whole day.
Saw on MAPS. Decided to try for 1st time based on menu and great reviews. I wasn't disappointed. Staff was super nice, service was great, and food delicious. I ordered steak and cheese. It came with American, but I wish I'd thought to ask for Swiss or Provolone. I did get it with grilled onions& gr.peppers. it was juicy and flavorful. Also ordered fries with the gravy on the side (to try based on reviews). The were the large crinkle cut ones, piping hot. And the brown gravy was very tasty and good with the fries. The sweet tea, was really good, sweet, like southern sweet tea should be, not the watered down, barely sweetened tea I get so most places. I couldn't eat it all, so I took my other half of sub and a free refill on sweet tea to go. And it's convenient, just around the corner from UVA hospital. I'll definitely be back!
Today, my sister and I went and sat down at this restaurant. To be honest I was a little skeptical when we pulled into the parking lot. I found out about this place through the reviews and wanted to see what it was like. I was shocked, flabbergasted, even. This place was amazing. Now from my point of you looking on the outside it looked a little beaten up. But from the staff perspective, it was amazing. When we walked in, we were met by amazing smiles, and only one table was empty. The food was good great actually, the food was great. Our server was very nice. I wish I had caught her name though. My sister ordered the steak and cheese with everything on it and it was scrumptious. I got chicken tenders and fries, which was also very very good. I was a little taken back by the portion size though the portions were huge. I have a big appetite and I couldn’t even finish my food. The food was excellent though all in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to eat at.
I ended up coming here out of the whim. My impression, it isn't bad. Not the worst, not the best, just right. Everything is priced right, and turnaround time for ordering takeout was fairly quick. The burger is just a basic cheeseburger nothing special. French fries are seasoned and fried perfectly. I also got the BBQ pulled pork, and that was actually pretty good. For the price I paid, I got a lot. I also asked for coleslaw, and was expecting it as a side, not in with the pork. My only con about this was that, I had to use a fork to eat it and not really like a sandwich because of how heavy it was. Not really a con though, is it lol.
Pretty good diner. Nothing fancy, been around since 1950. Known for their burgers, and seems to be a favorite with the locals. My husband ordered one of their famed hamburgers, and he said it was delicious. I got the club, and it was very good, as well. I did have a problem with my iced tea. It tasted so strong like glue or chemicals; however, they graciously exchanged it for a coke instead. I noticed another customer, who arrived after us, complaining about the tea as well and had to change his drink also. Other than the tea, I would recommend it.
Great local place. Clean, friendly staff, great prices. Had double cheeseburger, is my 2nd favourite in Charlottesville after Riverside Lunch. The chips and gravy looked and smelled amazing too. The guy sitting next to me who clearly was a regular had it. Edit: Been back a couple more times. Love the fries & gravy. Pro tip: in my opinion ask for burgers "well done" as that gives them a slightly crispier more caramelized / Maillard reaction exterior which makes them better
