From the moment you pull into the modest parking lot to the first interaction over the antique crackling speaker you wish there was a joint like this in your town. Not only can you get a burger, dog, or icecream cone you can order up spaghetti and meatballs and by the way its really good! It is hard to get over slurping pasta with the steering wheel in your face but you will get over it when you try the meatballs. I had a meatball sandwich on some great thick sliced italian bread and gooey delicious Mozzarella. If you are in the twin cities and you miss this place you missed a real gem. The catch is they ate only open in the nicer months. Thats when they trade meatballs for snow balls.

Just vistited on my recent Twin Cities DDD roadtrip. Hit it up for lunch and had the Italiano sandwich, some garlic cheese bread and a strawberry shake. Was really good. The red sauce that they talked about on show was amazing. And best part is this time when I went there, I went with my buddy in his car so I didn't rip the bumper off mine like happened last time I tried going there, so this time I ate there. by U2chaser Tue 04/03/2012 12:00 AM Grand Forks Joined Nov 2011 48 Posts 46 Restaurant Visits

The banana malt is very creamy, relatively light and lots of real banana flavor.

The Hot Italiano is a Vienna bread sandwich with a spicy but not-too-dense split Italian sausage and an almost Sloppy Joe-style sauce -- hearty and lip-smackingly tasty.

The black raspberry shake is AWESOME!

The fried chicken breast was perfect! Crispy on the outside and so moist and tender inside!
