You have to get a galley boy and a milkshake . Summer blueberry flavor is the best. Tastes like fruity pebbles .

Kevin Dudley

The Galley Boy burger (double cheeseburger with onion mayo and bbq sauce ) is where you must start here. With onion rings it's just over $5. Drive-in, no drive-thru.

Bill Fox

An Akron original. Fast service and what you'd expect from drive-in food. We get the salad boy .

Todd Morris

Half pounder with double cheese , ketchup , mustard , lettuce and extra onion . Potato teezers and a California!! Best burger meal ever!!

Brent Schnipke

Make sure your lights don't stay on! You'll have every server full on sprinting at you. Which is nice of them, but unnecessary extra workout :-)

David Wells

The best burger joint around. Service is always quick and the food can't be beat.

Patrick Meyn

Everything is amazing. My personal favorites; cheeseburgers , grilled cheese ,,potato teasers (liked the old kind better), potato puffs, California or Choc Peanut butter shake .
