Customer Reviews

Went here today! Drove alllll the way from Jacksonville and it was worth the drive! We ordered the blooming onion, fries,funnel cake, corn dogs and lemonade... The blooming onion was perfection!!!! The corn dogs brought back the nostalgia of going to the fair as a child down to the crispy fried pieces of corn bread at the bottom of the stick! The fries were cut potatoes (real potatoes) and you get a decent amount for the price.... Now let's talk about this funnel cake. Due to some technical difficulties the oil took a while to heat up. He was more than friendly and while we waited we chatted about Jacksonville and about the events that were taking place at the Hawthorn Racetrack this weekend. We were even give a few deep fried Oreos as he apologized for our wait. Once it came up it was fresh and hot and tasted like the fair!! Over all the trip was well worth it! If I have only one complaint is was that they should add just a little more sugar to the lemonade. Prices were fair and good (especially compared to the actual prices at the fair) I would definitely make the drive back down there!!!! Awesome place and friendly people!

Absolutely great food every time we stop. Gator bites tender and delicious, fried shrimp seasoned perfectly but my absolute favorite is the potatoes slices. Customer service is always excellent and quick. I definitely recommend everyone to stop and try the amazing foods they have.

Just stopped in on our way north on vacation. So many choices and I am sure you can't go wrong. We ordered fried shrimp, cheese curds, and mushrooms and all were fresh, hot, and delicious. We will stop in anytime we are up this way! Highly recommend!

Exactly what I needed. A local spot with great food and great service. They are so nice, bathroom was clean, and my ham and cheese omelet was five stars. They didn't have coffee but instead made me a delicious mocha.
