"Good service, food and price. Truly unique. Dilapidated building. Looks abandoned. Authentic time warp. Like a scene from an old western film or a post-apocalypse movie. The nice lady behind the bar was running around working her tail off. Highly recommended."

Smoked BBQ ribs, baked beans , best homemade coleslaw (very fresh), macaroni salad with celery seed like grandma's. Absolutely delicious and didn't cost very much for all you can eat. Zelda is the best ."
