Don't rule this place out just because it's in a gas station.. Their food is fun and yummy. From loaded fries to tacos to chicken or fish dinners and don't forget ice cream sundae's. But don't come here if you're looking to eat healthy. You can dine in or call ahead and pick up at the drive-thru.

This little place is found downtown. Hidden in the back of a little shopping center. Their menu is very unique and fun. The Greek Pizza is my personal favorite.

I just love Mexican food! Which is good because we have a lot of them around here. In my opinion they have the better salsa in town! This one is one of my favorites because the atmosphere is nice an intimate. The parking is tight and they’re usually pretty busy.

My other favorite Mexican restaurant! New location on South Main is very big. Staff is great. My favorite dishes are spinach enchiladas and Chile verde. Best pork and Chile verde sauce in town by far!
