I finally got to stop here cause we’re not rushing through this time around. I think we ordered almost everything on the menu! The prices are incredibly reasonable. Richardson root beer is the best, smoothest in the world. Soft ice cream is high quality because they know minimum fat content needed.

An old-timey drive-in restaurant that I had wanted to visit for nearly 40 years, and it didn't disappoint! Excellent service, cash only, and very affordable food. A must visit in the Finger Lakes region during the Summer.

We stopped for a Root beer, frosty mug, delicious. Ordered a coney dog to share, it was very tasty. Great atmosphere, menu looked great, we will have to go back for food and another Root beer

Nostalgic! Delicious food at a great price, served with a friendly smile! Choose from Car hop, Counter or Table service, you can't go wrong! Owners are hands-on, keeping the staff moving and the conversations light! Go, eat, enjoy, laugh, then put on repeat!

I have been wanted to try this place for so many years and I finally got a chance to with my daughter. The whole experience was amazing the prices are so reasonable. Make sure you have cash because it is a cash only place but they do have a atm on the property. I got a rootbeer milkshake my daughter got a lemonade I also tried the sausage sandwich with peppers and onions. And my daughter had a plain burger and fries. I will definitely go back. I recommend this place 100 percent.

First road trip of the season. We started with lunch here yesterday—Sunday—and were not disappointed. Nice retro look and atmosphere; service with a smile; fast service; tasty food; low prices, which were welcome during these Brandon Times. Speaking of Brandon Times: the only problem we had with the place was the restrooms: not their cleanliness or accessibility but the “All Gender” signs on the doors. Were they expecting Dylan Mulvaney?

What a pleasurable experience hidden on route 20. We stopped on a whim. Saw the menu that is simple yet satisfying, not too mention do you see the prices? Like its frozen in time?!All the staff are young kids and service was fast and friendly. Such a retro vibe we loved it. It's set up like a sonic is with a car hop on the outside as well.Social distancing and cleaning were maintained well.5 in my book.
