    I try not to do fast food that often but when I do this is the type of place I prefer to go to. I do not like the fast food chains this place seems to have a fresher approach. A word to the wise, if you try the chili dog be prepared for it to be hot. Very hot. They advise you ahead of time-no refunds if it is too hot. But you gotta have it. The restaurant has two lanes to handle the lines and you can either have take out or you can eat in. A pretty diverse menu for a fast food place.

    Went to college right down the street. Legit used
    To go here everyday Lol. My favorite place to get burgers, dogs, Mac and cheese bites, etc. sometimes on the weekends I venture up from my apt in Nj and grab food (pathetic I know ) but the place is awesome! Never had anything bad there tbh. Owner was always around and even gave me a t-shirt when I graduated bc I was there that much

    Tried many different items; cheese burger, chili dog, slaw dog, mac n cheese bites, salad, deep fried oreos, shake.

    The only issues we had were the chili dog was extremely spicy- though the menu does warn you!   The shake was way too thick, I had to let it sit for 20 minutes.  Before that, it couldn't be sucked through the thin straws they provide.  

    Seating is smaller than what I thought it looked like when it was on DDD.

    Service is fast and watching the staff work is amazing.  They don't write anything down but don't seem to make any mistakes.  There is a long line but it moves fairly quickly.

    Really good place for kids. Good food in a relax setting. Ideal for a quick bite! We were on a road trip and found this small but very famous place (it was packed with locals at lunch time).

    Let me start out by saying I love, love ,love the canteen. Been going here since i was a kid 30 years ago. Food is delicious and service is fast BUT the last time i was there the woman cooking the burgers was using the same spatula to flip cooked burgers with bloody raw burgers. Didnt even wipe off the spatula let alone use a diff one. Good way to get people sick. I pulled the cashier to the side to tell her this and she said oh its okay they always do that not to mention the red cleaning bucket with cleaning product i  it right near food.
