Historical establishment dating back to the early 1900's. Drive up orders taken from the car or eat inside. Classic All-American burger spot.

The Scene Rich in history and tradition, this national landmark has been making waffle cones since 1934. Owner Abe Doumar created the first waffle cone in 1904 for the St. Louis Exposition.

When we moved here all we heard was how great this place was. We went and we were disappointed, the second and third time- same thing. The food isn't bad, but it's not wonderful. It's reputation is great but the food isn't.
