I absolutely love this place! I've been going there my whole life and I can't imagine Chesterton without it. I always have a team burger, chili cheese fries and a root beer float. The mouse ears are amazing too. I've never reggetted going and I always return. If you haven't been here I guess you haven't been to Chesterton.
