What a great little place! Love the historical components ... The burger was one of the best we had! Black bean soup is awesome... The monster cookie is a nice way to end an on the go dinner.💜💙

The biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've ever had. Bacon was perfect too. Good bakery items. I had never had corned beef hash before, and it was awesome too!

I'm no onion fan, but I enjoy the Bayou Burger. Filling, tangy and delicious.

Want a photo of their amazing burgers? Too bad. Because I ate it in a heartbeat. That's how delectable it was. Mmmmf. And delicious thick bacon in top.

What a deal. 8 after 8 includes a "classic trio" for $6.50. Burger, fries and best shake in town. (includes veggie burg, sweet potato fries). You can also sub the shake for a beer. Every night after 8

Love their salad bar and most of their sandwiches. Excellent breakfast options and great coffee. Try a peanut butter shake, do good.

While I thoroughly enjoy their sandwiches, the breakfast menu is also pretty tasty. The price is more than youre average fast food restaurant but you do get what you pay for.

If you get the steak and eggs order biscuits with it. It comes with two biscuits gravy and jelly. You could easily split

Awesome shakes, they give you a glass full and the can with another half of milkshake. Try the root beer shake!

Corned Beef and Hash is good, but hardly the best in CU. If you're a fan of Corned Beef and Hash you won't be disappointed.

Get their salad bar and a milkshake. Their ice cream is awesome.

Sandwiches are huge. Dill Potato Salad is outstanding with a Turkey Club. Service is really good.

Excellent breakfast choices and good coffee.

Instead of just getting The Headliner sundae, get The Red Hot Story. It's a quarter more and you get bananas!
