“ Nice people and good food! ”
“ I love food so I was told to go to famous...I did not know it was part of a gas station (thanks cuzin). This food was so good and the staff is so friendly I went back the next day. Corn beef was delicious and nephew liked the buffalo tenders. My sister enjoyed the gymshoe (there famous for it) but I think I'll do turkey next. ”
“ They have exceptional customer service and all the food is great. Chicken wings are very good. ”
“ So good. I ordered the fried gym shoe. It is so packed full of juicy, seasoned meat, onions, and peppers. It's not something you can finish in one sitting. I mean you probably could but you shouldn't. It's a lot lol. It also comes with a little side salad and the fries as well as tzatziki and mild sauce for the gym shoe. They have a new regular for sure. ”
