Passing through here and found this place and it was great! Such a small and quaint spot. Very casual, the servers are super nice. You seat yourself when you come in, wherever you can find a spot. The menu is straightforward and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the BLT with onion rings, and my friend got the hot hamburger with fries. Everything came out fresh and hot, and very quickly. I would love to come back and try their breakfast! It looked like it was pretty good. Lunch for the both of us came out to around 20 dollars, which is awesome. Hope to come back to eat again!

The servers are always nice and friendly. The food is good and at a good price. It's a smaller place with bar seating as well as tables. I recommend Ruben's Hot Hamburger.

From the moment my wife and walked thru the front door, everyone at this popular local grill was warm and friendly. The atmosphere is retro, casual and relaxing. Our burgers and fries were pretty good too, as was the homemade beef and vegetable soup. If you want a simple meal at good prices with great service, I would highly recommend this joint.

This is a good sized mom&pop diner with some nice sandwiches, a few plates, and a nice breakfast menu. The place is clean and well lit, and has both stools at the counter and booths. The walls are loaded with memorabilia and pictures of customers - nicely done. The chili dog here is pretty good, but a shade away from being outstanding as usually dressed. There is simply too much slaw and/or onions, and too little chili, and the chili is nicely seasoned. The wiener is the classic Souther red, and the bun is fresh and soft. I went back in and ask one of the nice ladies if I could order less slaw and onions, and a little more chili next time - and I was told: Of course, you can Darling. The price for a dog is $1.10. The hamburger was very nice - thin pattie with excellent flavor, nice fresh bun. I find that on thin pattie burgers, toppings of mayo, pickles, and lettuce works best for me - it did here. Regular hamburger is $2:65; cheeseburger is $2.90. Great service from very friendly people. They apparently have another location on Franklin Turnpike.
