Been meaning to come here, but it's a bit out of my way, and the last time I swung by it was closed (on a Tuesday I think. Mainly interested in the root beer. Stopped in today, not busy on a weekday afternoon. Decided to eat at a table, and there is separate parking from that (on the left; drive-in parking on the right. Big parking lot, portajohn for a bathroom. Covered dining area, nice breeze, fast friendly service. Pretty straightforward menu. Sadly out of sausage for their signature Rebel Burger, so I got a single and they suggested the Rebel sauce and cheese, to make it close. Also got a short coney, because, I mean, dog is in the name. Baby K got a corn dog, and we shared fried pickles. The root beer is made by them, and, well, it's fine, nothing special. I commend them for making their own- local, original, different. It came iced, not a good thing. Not in a frosted mug; I assumed it would be in one, should have asked I guess. Pleasant enough. A little rooty, a hint of wintergreen. No head. Refreshing but not great. K loved her float. And the corn dog. The short coney (not a fan of footlongs was pretty darn good. Good bun, good dog, lots of cheese and sauce, and the sauce seemed homemade. Tasty. The burger was pretty darn good. Good bun, meaty burger with crispy edges. The sauce seemed kinda like homemade tartar, maybe mayo and relish, though a bit more yellow or orange than that suggests. Combined to make a good burger, but would have also been good without. The fried pickles were the surprise star. I am generally not a big fan- they are often thick, and the batter slides off. These were thin slices, the batter was crispy and perfect and stayed on. Yum. All in all an excellent experience. Not worth a detour for the root beer, but for a nostalgic lunch with good food and good service at very reasonable prices, I'll be back. And I'll still have a root beer because even just-decent root beer or floats are better than no root beer or floats.
