What a great find! Have driven passed many times, but decided to go in the other week and was totally bowled over! These folks have certainly got it right, which is why it's still going after nearly 60 years. Ambience, food, staff, service were all fabulous, couldn't have asked for better. Well stocked bar too. This will now be our go to place. We'll done Owens family.
