Probably the best place we ate at in Altoona for the week we were there! The chili cheese tenderloin was terrific and tender! Great fries, cheeseburger, mashed potatoes, and shake as well! The atmosphere is what you would expect out of a dinner. Wonderful service from the staff including the owner I believe!
