Open every day, 11am to 8pm

The red‑and‑cream Sawyer’s stand lit up at dusk, its printed menu board glowing and the neon OPEN sign on.

A roadside classic worth the stop.

Order at the window, then take a seat at the picnic tables and take your time. The hard serve is hand‑dipped, the fryer is always going, and there is something on the board for everyone in the car.
