The restaurant is located downtown and operates during lunch and dinner hours with varying times depending on the day of the week. Visitors should know the space gets busy during midday and weekend hours, and parking can be limited at peak times.
The restaurant is known for its cheese fries, which were mentioned by two former U.S. presidents during their campaign speeches at Oklahoma State University. This unexpected recognition demonstrates how a simple dish became part of the local story.
