Nothing out of the ordinary here, but the sausage is juicy and the homemade bread is perfect for sopping up egg yolks.

The first thing that you see from the road is the tall top hat perched above the old drive-in stalls.

Sadly the sign outside instructs patrons to come inside to order--the days of car hop service must be long gone.
