Stopped by for the first time today. Ordered 2 cheeseburgers, a fry, and 2 sodas for $23. The price was fine. The young man at the register was polite and got us our drinks quickly. There was a buffet style condiment bar. The onions looked like rice. The entire bar was a mess. The ketchup pumps were basically empty. This was about 4:30.

It was nothing more than a grilled cheese on overly buttered white bread with a couple slices of Steak-ums. The Italian sausage patty with peppers, onions and cheese was no better, served on a small, bulky roll that was a bit stale. What a waste of a perfectly good Lakeside italian sausage patty. Their "famous" fresh cut fries using Chiavettas potatoes, were just ok, nothing special. The milkshake was good. At least we can say that we've been there, but...
