Didn’t know how it worked, if you seat yourself or what? Cook turned around and was rude, said go ahead and sit down I’ll take your order whenever I can. Ask him what a Gus burger has on it and I couldn’t hear his response (his back was to me and he was frying on the grill) then he turned and said I’ll go ahead and take that order now or next week whenever your ready. Gave order food was served it was hot, fresh and delicious. I would have left without ordering had it not been pouring the rain and I paid to park way up the street. I stayed kind, bragged on the food paid and gave a 20% tip. Not sure why people are so rude?, I work retail so I have thick skin. Just remember kindness ?

The Gus burgers were great, service was fast at the counter and we chatted with the cook who was super friendly and helpful. We were visiting the campus and looking for local atmosphere. The Spot absolutely nailed it ?

My wife, two friends, and I stopped in for lunch during my 4oth reunion weekend (hard to believe I am this ancient). The service was very friendly, the fries were good, and my "gusburger" was as good as ever. My wife's beyond burger was tasty. The price ($60.00 for four) was a bit shocking, but what the hell. I enjoyed and will return soon.

Good food. Pretty fast. The cook and customer screaming at each other over how long to cook an item, made me feel right at home!

Delicious hot, sizzling, fresh burgers and breakfast. We ordered sausage and gravy with eggs. Also got a gus burger no bun (gluten free gf) that was perfect. At 830 am on a school day - Monday - place was empty and got super fast service. Friendly as always.

Eh, the food was alright. Its a greasy spoon diner, nothing too fancy if that's what you like. If what you want is cheap food and decent quality, this could a good spot (see what I did there?) for your. I tried out their grilled cheese and turkey sandwich.It's clear that the real star of the menu is the Gus Burger. I didn't know this, so can't comment on its flavor. Maybe try it out when you come here. The turkey and cheese sandwich was just okay. Bread was toasted, they did offer crispy veggies, and the turkey was standard. The price was around $8. Not bad but could be cheaper.The cheese fries were surprisingly good. Your meal comes with a choice of s few different sides (mainly French fries or home fries, onion rings for an up charge I believe). The sauce was not too plasticy and genuinely flavorful. Overall, good. The employees are super quick and efficient, but the place can get pretty packed. All in all, not a bad spot to stop by for a cheap meal.

Just a good old fashioned diner. Food came out perfectly and quickly. Coffee was good. Service was spot on. School wasn’t in session yet so we were the only ones there. Would love to go back for a burger another time.
