“ Great place for the family to eat. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, and even some of the more old school menu items. There is a train for the kids to watch, and cartoons always running. Quiet little corner of Putnam, within walking distance of many of the shops. No longer Cash only ! They take credit card I have been eating there since before my dad passed away, and bring my kids there often. Ate there again today, the food is still amazing, as expected. The renovation and new menu looks fantastic. ”
