    If you are from Texas like me, you remember Shoney's. if you like the Slim Jim sandwich, they will make it for you here. Just ask them to take it easy on the ham. Good eats!

    Burger was great! Service was too. Came in right before 11 PM and they turned some away, could you be open a little later?

    If you want to save some dough while checking out the classic cars- get your food from the drive thru. It's the same amount of food you get inside or at the car hop, but is cheaper.

    This is the old Johnie's Broiler, now a Bob's Big Boy. Wednesday nights are their "cruise night". Grab a burger & shake, and check out some cool rides. Read more
