“ I have been standing at the counter eating Bolley's hot dogs for 25 years. I live a few hours away now, and try to stop in when i can for lunch, maybe 2-3 times a year. This last trip the food was as good as it always has been. The restaurant was cleaner that I have ever seen it. The staff has always been nice and efficient. But, this crew on Friday 4/19 was really on their game. 3 young well groomed clean professional looking women that worked hard, worked together, and really delivered fast polite expedient service. Compared to what I usually see in today's restaurant scene, Bolley's was leaps and bounds better than any other place open right now that sells a great quick lunch at a great price in a clean professional atmosphere. These employees were great, the food was great, the restaurant was great. Management and the Owners should be proud of what Bolley's is in 2024. ”
