They do have a covered fresco eating area partially screened with ceiling fans. They give you a pager to alert you to come get your food. Everything else I have tried is equally as good. I'm a pretty big hotdog nerd, and they have a great one with homemade slaw, chili, and grilled franks. They have unconventional hours, so check before going over. But do your sled a favor and help keep a local small...
