“ If you're looking for a fancy place, this isn't it...HOWEVER, if you enjoy a good local gem this IS it! The woman who runs the place is unbelievably kind and makes you feel like a regular the instant you meet her. We are originally from Northern IL and always on the hunt for pizza that reminds us of "home" and this is the closest we've come. As we waiting for our order to bake, we noticed pizza after pizza being picked up which was a good sign of things to come. The flavors and textures were mouthwatering we highly recommend the cheese or pepperoni. Trust me, you'll be dreaming about the next time you'll be able to dine in or order take out again! We had such a great first experience, that we ordered pizza for a birthday party a week later ”
“ Their burger and cheese fries are amazing ! My only complaint was how small the side of cheese fries was compared to how much they charge you for them. Everything else is fantastic !! ”

“ This is my new friend Frank, got to camp out in his backyard last night, he owns a bar and grill on US highway 50, and shared several stories of other travelers who walk Across America and stop in on their journey. Frank had amazing stories of his own, in the 80's he was a baseball player on the Utah Trappers a minor league team owned by the famous actor Bill Murray, the team is best known for winning 29 consecutive games in 1987. He asked me to come by for lunch on him. Grateful for making a new friend on this journey I won't forget. ”
“ Their burgers are the best in clinton county, maybe the best in the state..best I've had.. Stop in * cash only ATM inside. you won't be disappointed. I recommend the "TuneSmith Tombstone" that's a bad ass bacon cheeseburger w only mayo, with a side of loaded fries ranch and sour cream. - sincerely The Sandy Connoisseur ”
