Great place for classic foods like hotdogs, hamburgers, and ice cream. All of our food was flavorful and hot. The banana split was huge and more than enough for 2 people to share. The employees were super friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Great prices, too!

Absolutely amazing restaurant! Our only regret was we wished we would have discovered it earlier on our vacation. The service was absolutely top notch. We felt right at home. We will definitely return next time we are in San Diego. Best service weve experienced in years.
