  • “ 8/4/2020 I saw the words “Banana Pudding” out the corner of my eye and had to turn around and check this place out. It’s one of those hidden little gems and if you come across it you’ll be happy that you did. I ordered the banana pudding and their homemade lemonade! Both were delicious! I highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat and definitely some dessert. They have an assortment of items on their menu. Enjoy! Thank me later!! ”

Salads, Fries, chicken strips, jumbo bacon cheeseburger basket, hot dog , fish plate, hamburger steak plate........ No matter what you get, you will love it! Cooked fresh to order. There is a line sometimes, but be patient. It's definitely worth the wait! Don't forget some homemade banana pudding or a fresh made shake for dessert! They have amazing lemonade as well y'all! Definitely do yourself a favor and get over to Taste-T ! ”

    Eric
  • “ I love going here-they have the best cheeseburger baskets in town! Everybody works hard and they do an amazing job…I understand food prices have increased-I get that. I don’t mind paying a little extra for my food when I’m in a pinch for time and do not have time to cook at home. It’s not the employees fault that food prices are rising! ”
