Customer Reviews

BLT was great. They cooked the bacon when the sandwich was ordered so it was nice and fresh! The lady next to us at the counter was enjoying her small burger so much I had to try one. OMG I see why she was enjoying it so much. YUM. The crincle cut fries were really good and I usually don't like crickle cut fries. It was a little hard to find the location. We drove by it and turned around that is when we saw the sign by the road. The building did not have a sign that I could see. But well worth the effort to get there. If you want good food I definitely recommend!

While in Powell, we found this nastalgic lil jem!!! Not only do they still have the old school green menu tablets to take hand-written orders, they also have vintage stool seating at the counter when you walk-in, huge menu on top of the wall right over the grill, limited booth & table seating (definitely worth the wait), and the cleanest, cutest lil bathrooms round town!!! Excellent breakfast place! No pre-made here! All menu items are made-to-order. Service was with a smile, cups of coffee were never low or cold! Definitely recommend if y'all are in the area!!!

This is absolutely the best and most affordable place to eat in Powell. They will serve you breakfast, lunch, and dinner any time of the day. I had the "big" cheese burger all the way with chopped onions and crinkle fries. The cheese burger was twice the size at a burger joint(i.e McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Freddie's. And half the price. My total bill was $9. Their breakfast food is second to none. If you haven't been, you're missing a real treat. P.S. Cash only. Locally owned!!
