Seen the signs along the road and decided to give them a try. Great selection and very reasonable prices. The big t was delicious and it was the first time I had a root beer float with soft serve. Screw the fast food in town, give these guys try!

Local greasy spoon with great food and atmosphere. I had the Swiss. We shared onion rings and a 44 oz chocolate shake.

We're first timers and you didn't disappoint! I had a double cheeseburger with bacon and lettuce and my daughter had the Big T. I had a chocolate shake and my daughter had an Ultimate Hot Fudge sundae. So good, wish we didn't live so far away!

Very cute little shop, it's been around since the 1960s. I've had a daughter work here who could tell some ghost stories--the girl who got stuck in the freezer overnight over 30 years ago, whose ghost is blamed every time something goes wrong with the equipment (many of which are also over 30 years old)
.
What I really love about this place is it's small-town atmosphere, special signature menu items, and fresh-faced & friendly employees. Sometimes it takes them longer to bring you part of your order because they make everything on the spot. Sometimes they can't make something because the ___ machine isn't working today. But you know you're getting your money's worth, and you know you're getting a slice of pure Americana that's almost disappeared from our great nation.
I recommend if you have the time, go inside and sit down while you wait for your order. Read some of the plaques, jokes, and articles on the wall (my wife's favorite: "Behind every successful rancher...is a wife who works in town."). Listen to the chatter of the employees as they cheerfully fill the orders. And say hi to some of the locals who stop in.
I guarantee you'll want to come back again and try something else. Not because you didn't like your first order, but because of the charm of the place, and because so many things on the menu sound so good, you'll have a hard time choosing.
My favorite on the menu is the Avalanche (pictured): $4.89 for a large. Note that there is a $0.50 charge for using a card as payment, and $0.50 for dipping sauces, both of which seemed high to me, considering that most restaurants don't charge for either. Then again, most restaurants aren't a small family operation. I don't begrudge that small expense if it keeps them in business.

Nice old fashioned fast food restaurant with some interesting menu items and all types of ice cream treats! I always stop by on my way from Phoenix to El Paso.
