“ I love this place. The food is typical diner food and the interior is a bit run down, but it has personality and the employees treat strangers as friends. The prices are very reasonable compared to other places. Twenty dollars fills my belly and leaves a generous tip. I have been here six times and leave with a smile every time. ”
“ Great value. Really good food. Place is very busy on weekends. Come during the week for less crowds. ”
“ GLORIOUS!!! I stopped in for an unexpected brunch, after some other local shopping. Some people dismiss diners, but this food was incredibly fresh and prepared without artificial sweeteners, refined salts, or any of hundreds of hidden food additives. The bacon was glorious, the breakfast potatoes were perfect, and if you order "two eggs over medium", the man at the grill actually know hat that means! The coffee was fresh, the service was fast and friendly and personalized. This was a GLORIOUS meal!!! ”
“ Welcoming hometown restaurant where you feel like a local. Food is fresh and service is fast. Tables do fill up quickly,especially on the weekends, so know you will more than likely have to wait. They have a huge bar with seats, so that's a very diner like experience that is an option. Had a great meal with family! ”
“ First time here & the home cooked food was excellent. Reminder me of the home cook meal at mylocal diners many years ago. I would say give it a try & I don't think you will be disappointed. Friendly people & old fashion diner. We loved it. ”
