toasty tuesday

toasty tuesday is back!!!
when is the last time you bought someone's cup of coffee in line behind you? or payed for someone's meal in the drive thru? if you can't remember, its time to do it again!

"the smallest deed is better than the grandest intention" ~ duguet
 
i know we all have intentions to help the homeless, buy someone in need a car, stock someones pantry,but why not just start small and buy someone a cup of coffee!?!?  it is something little but it will make someones day!!!

put a smile on someone's face and be a blessing today!

Wonderful food and great prices! Their cheeseburgers are fresh and the fries are like those you get at a county fair and very yummy. The decor is really cool (Lake Local school items) and red, white and blue (go blue streaks!). Make sure you save room for dessert, its all really good!Its very family/kid friendly and the service is wonderful! - one happy customer
 
This place is a one of a kind. The atmosphere is awesome, takes you back to an authentic 50's diner. The food is fantastic & the service is fabulous. - another happy customer :)
 
Very clean, and friendly place.... Service has always been very good....We have been there more than once and every time the food has been excellent... Great burgers and fries.... We always know we will get our money's worth which means a lot now a days... Thanks again- once again, a happy customer
