Everyone here is so nice and the food is always good. I got a double hotdog, large coffee and a chicken salad sandwich - all for under 30 bucks!

Family-run business & all are so friendly & can't do enough for you. After being open 80+ hours every week & 20+ years serving their local community they closed for 10 days for family wedding overseas. We missed them!! But now they're back & working hard to provide the same wonderful service they've done over the past 2 decades. Thank You Betty & Joe & your Beautiful family

What a little gem of a place this is. Toasties are amazing! Salad sangas to die for. Staff are friendly. They remember what you like. It’s a family business and I’m so impressed with every one of them. I don’t live anywhere near Sunbury but I’m often here in the area for work. This is my go to for lunch/smoko.
