Check out The Huddles Restaurant. Fabulous burgers, ask for your fries to be made extra crispy. They have a fantastic homemade BBQ sauce and a variety of other dipping/topping sauces. Great atmosphere, reasonably priced. Another one to try with excellent breakfast and lunch options is The Junction Eating Place. Family owned with good food, attentive wait staff, and terrific prices. This is a nice, no frills establishment and locomotive based so awesome for kids.
