Most Disliked
Some patrons have remarked that the space could benefit from a deep cleaning or a light renovation given its long tenure in the community. Others note that during peak hours, particularly Thursday evenings, it can get crowded, which may lead to longer wait times. Occasionally, the restaurant runs out of popular items during busy shifts, resulting in disappointment for some guests. Yet, these minor inconveniences do not overshadow the overall experience for most diners, who keep returning for the quality food and community vibe.

Dean's been the spot since early 90s (I can not remember the late 80s) food is top tier, prices in today's economy are very reasonable, the employees are kind and make the food correctly, the entire building was very clean. Best Cherry RC in the world! God bless the owners and employees. I pray they have a booming business for as long as they wish ✝️

BG Fries. Mmmm! Everything was delicious. Ladies behind the counter were so sweet and worked hard. Place could use a good tune up and cleaning. Classic though.

Loved them before. Now the last 2 times they can't get the orders correct. Last time ordered over the phone got the wrong sandwich. Today stood there and placed my order they still messed it up. 2 sub sandwiches???? How hard is that? I work at a restaurant. It's not that hard to make a sub and get it correct. Think we won't be going there for a long time. Pretty sad can't find people who know how to work.

Went here on a whim. Glad I did . Extremely good hamburgers and French fries. I also had a shake. It only cost 25 for 2 people to eat , normally it cost us 35 to 40 for that basic order. I most definitely will be back here again. Staff was very friendly when taking my order. Nice guy. Thank you!
