Stopped by while passing through. Very country vibe inside and the people were very friendly. I sat at the bar and ordered the chicken tenders with fries to go. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the employees and the food was very quality made just the way I imagined. This place is worth it if you are ever in Reardan or traveling on highway 2. 5 star service and 5 star food at a great price.

This business has recently had a face lift. It has changed owners as well as the name. The old place was dark and served warm beer. Now the food is amazing and atmosphere is very nice too. I really like the food. Especially the hand crafted hamburger Patties. I also like that the each food item that someone orders is made to order. The salads are amazing they are made with fresh ingredients and are very large. They also have a large selection of drinks that are available on bottle and draft. I also like if I want to have something to eat late at night the Speed trap is the only place in town that is open late!

Stopped to use restrooms and felt we should at least have a Diet Coke for having used the facilities. Had been to the cemetery and had a 4 hr. drive home so sartorial bit. The waitress was really great, chatted with us and even refilled my Coke for the ride home.
