Our family enjoyed our lunch and as the servings were more than adequate, had leftovers from the single turkey plate dinner to take home. The ribs were outstanding, very lean, so tender and full of flavor. The chicken Quesadilla was good. We had very good service from Kelsey. All in all, we were pleased and will return.
2. Garry's Drive-in

Had hamburgers and shakes. They didn't skimp on the crisp lettuce or tomatoes. Meat was very good, not too salty, which is what I dislike about David's Burgers. This was like a hamburger I'd make myself. The delicious death by chocolate shake had enough calories so I skipped the fries. This was our first visit but not the last!

The experience wasn't good this time. The beef brisket had a weird taste and smell. Service was slow. It will be awhile before we go back. Very disappointing. We expected this to be the hometown venue we could make our regular place. I need to call the owner or manager. Our first visit was much better.
