Paddo inn, The burger was very, very good. You can really tell the meat is high quality, well cooked and full of flavor. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to take a photo of the burger itself, but it was definitely worth it. The fries were also great — you can tell they’re made with good ingredients and well prepared, not overly greasy. The place is highly recommended. It has a nice atmosphere, and on Sundays there is live music, which adds a great vibe to the experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained, which shows there is good management behind the place. The venue looks a bit old or vintage, but that’s part of its character and charm
