how a dream became reality

For years, Big Red has been preparing fresh, wholesome meals for his huge family of ten. He always had the dream to use his kitchen skills to feed the masses the same quality, uniquely familiar food. Red says: "I figured, if my family and friends loved the food we were cooking so much.... other people would probably enjoy it as well"

Big Red was able to bring his dream of serving fresh, unique, comfort food to reality in the form of a drive-in style shanty along Cheat Lake in 2016. "That was a great place to start for us," Red explains, "We had a nice little place for people to pick up good food... but we quickly learned that the elements play a big role in people getting to experience our food... so we began looking for a way to expand with an indoor dining room. 

"With the new location, we wanted to provide a comfortable atmosphere, and sort of take people back to the diners of yesteryear. We wanted to have counter service so folks can watch us cook up their food. We do it the right way, we've got nothing to hide! It's our goal to provide quality, comfortable, food and service, while offering food that's just unique enough to set us apart from other places around here. Like the 1 lb. Yeti Burger. You won't find that at a chain restaurant!"

"We are a family owned and operated business. The thing my father imposed upon me most before he passed, was the virtue of hard work. My family is here every day, working hard to satisfy our diners and make him proud. Working side by side with my family every day is as good as it gets."
