    This is one of my favorite restaurants! It has the best onion rings, fried trout and tartar sauce. The superboy burger is so delicious! Hands down one of my families favorite places to go for lunch or dinner. The service is always excellent!

    If you love a great fish sandwich this is your place! Burgers are great too if fish isnt your thing. We have a large family and the prices are reasonable and no one goes hungry. Highly recommend this restaurant
