We went in for a break. They were out of a couple things we wanted, so we settled for plum pie and the two hot dog special, plus drinks. We might have ordered differently if we knew the food was coming out of a microwave. The pie was delicious (but microwaved), the hot dogs were a little tough, but still pretty good.
