Once you walk into this restaurant, you notice the picnic tables and the bar. Each table has ketchup and Japanese mayo.

This place is known for their milkshakes. I ordered a mini gourmet Reese Peanut Butter Cup. For appetizer, we shared a large order of sweet potato fries. For entree, I ordered a mushroom beef burger. My friend ordered the classic burger.

I have to admit my burger was pretty tasty. The juicy red beef was sandwich between two brioche bread. It has onion marmalade, lettuce and porcini sauce. My friend enjoyed her classic burger; they didn't skimp on the beef and it was prepared to perfection. Both burgers came with a side of fried pickles. It was pretty much their version of onion rings but pickles. I wish they gave us more. We LOVED the fries....it's a must, if you decide to go here. The fries were crunchy yet not greasy. It wasn't too salty and it comes with a side of sweet mustard dressing for dipping.

I recommend the shakes...it was yummy. I would get it again but in a larger size. It's sweet but not overloaded with sugar. It was creamy and it hits the spot, if you crave something sweet.

Once you walk into this quaint little restaurant, you are transported to London. My friend and I lucked out with a table as soon as we walked in.

The waitress came up and gave us a menu; however, we knew what exactly we want. Fish & Chips, Fried Snickers and Fried Twinkies. YES! A heart attack waiting to happen.

We ordered a kid size Fish & Chips. Boy! It was large enough to share! The cod outer layer was crunchy yet not oily. When you bite into the fish, it tastes fresh, like it came right out of the sea. The tartar sauce was sweet and salty. It was perfect with the fish. The fries was also crunchy and favorable. You didn't even need to add salt. Just dip it in ketchup and devour.

Dessert! Oh my! My friend ordered the fried twinkies and I ordered the snickers. I've been dying to try this famous fried twinkies. It met my expectations and beyond. When you bite into it, you taste the powder sugar then the sweet custard in the middle. It was plated on raspberry sauce which made it more perfect.

My fried snickers tastes exactly what you imagine...snickers dipped into a fryer. It was gooey and warm. It was like chocolate heaven and it was very sweet.

Would I go there again? Heck yes! Next time, I probably order the sheperd pie and for dessert...fried twinkies.
