The Krebs has been visited many times by the author of this web site and it continues in operation at the same location serving the same quality food as of January, 2005. It looks exactly the same as in the picture. It is highly recommended. Park your Ford, Mercury, Edsel, or Lincoln in back as Genesee Street is fairly busy.
