It's just dirty and the food isn't good. We went once last summer and have never gone back. The food isn't even cheap. Everything just looks like it needs to be cleaned.

I've tried some of their shakes and have found that it's either hit or miss for me--my favorite (and something that I crave quite often) is their Peanut Butter and Banana shake. They mix in real bananas and peanut butter--and give you nearly 4 cups of it (be prepared to share). I have tried their onion rings as well, which... More

What the heck decade is it supposed to be in there? it's like 50s thru 90s. Such a mess of a decor. Also, I'm from California, and I believe that a shake should be a drink. It should not stand up in the cup. Where I'm from we call that ice cream, and we do not serve it in such... More

I haven't been here since the 80s. I don't think it's had a thorough cleaning since. We stopped for a quick bite while running errands. It was so dirty I lost my appetite so didn't buy anything. I suggest they hire a cleaning crew to deep clean once in awhile. I know the regular workers don't have time.

Decorated like an old diner, with juke-box and 50's memorabilia, this local hamburger spot has a great selection of thick ice-cream shakes, but their burgers and fries are a little too greasy for our family (and there seems to be a 20-year layer of grease on everything from bathrooms to tables). And whether or not the staff is friendly depends... More

I went on a Friday night with some friends just to get some food and the place was jam-packed with obnoxious BYU Freshmen. It took forever to get our food and had to sit there and listen to dozens of noisy 17 and 18 year olds and their ridiculous antics. The place would probably be okay if you went when... More

After driving past the Malt Shoppe many times, I decided to stop in and try it. I pulled up to the drive through thinking I could get a malt in a timely fashion. The vehicle in front of me was obviously making a large order and the driver looked exasperated. Even without hearing the conversation, I knew he was having... More

Average in every way. Will not blow you away and won't make you angry either.
