Emily W.Emily W: Any place with fried pickles on the menu and root beer on tap is ALL RIGHT BY ME. Also the biscuits. Eat all of them.

Chelsea B.Chelsea Balkan: I tried the fried pickles after seeing so many tips to get them but I wouldn't get them again. I guess I'm just not a fan. The chicken sandwiches, root beer floats, and caesar salad are all yummy!
