Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Try the Wachos. They're just like nachos, but made with waffles rather than chips.

Great food, fun place!
by sharopooks
This is such a fun place to go to, for kids and adults. The food is great, not necessarily anything to write home about but everything we ate - burger, veggie burger - was savory. Loved the sweet potato fries! And it's cool that you can get root beer floats, shakes, rickeys or a drink from the next door bar as a beverage. The shakes, malts, floats are awesome. Those watching their calorie intake beware: though there are healthy choices here (grilled chicken, etc), it's tough to bypass all the delicious fun choices you can get here instead! Service was very friendly.
- Pros: Fun, desserts, sweet potato fries

Never go here
by yussi1870
We were 4 adults and 2 young kids on a Saturday around 7pm. The place was nearly empty. The two tvs they have were blaring and another family left on account of the news. We placed our drink orders and waited 15 minutes for them to arrive. The vanilla egg cream I got was great but a companion's cappacino was all froth and tasted burnt. We then ordered ice cream and waited another 30 minutes for that. My ice cream arrived as a soup. The brownie was stale. Also, one of the children's sundaes never arrived. One of the adults said that his sundae was great. For our inconveniences the waiter took a large chunk off the bill.
- Pros: Easy with a stroller
- Cons: Service, too loud

Excellent food, always a pleasure
by ldownie5
What more could you ask for? The food is delicious- homemade fries, excellent burger (veggie burger is quite yummy), and the malts are out of this world. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. When I'm in the mood for "comfort food", Homer's always comes through for me!!
- Pros: Excellent food, Friendly people, Nice ambiance

A 50's feel with the Millenium funk!
by tonytriche
And I mean that in the best possible way. It's the type of malt shop you've seen in old movies. Handmade malts and shakes, jukebox, funky interior and seriously cool folks who hang there. The burgers were da BOMB! Bring the kids!!!
- Pros: cost, SERVICE!, location

Best Kept Secret
by mrseven
This place is chill. Good burgers and frys, lot's of choices of different kinds of frys- shoestring,curlys,waffle, etc. great hot dogs, fish and chips and now they are doing home made soups which are terrific, I had the minestrone. The service is good and the place has a really nice "neigborhood diner" buzz to it. Oh yeah they have air hockey in the game room in the back. When did they get here?
- Pros: Inexpensive, cool place
- Cons: crowded on weekends
