Pretty cool little local diner. But a little pricey for breakfast.

We were on vacation. Came in to eat breakfast. There was two tables available. We stood at the door for over 5 mins and was never acknowledged. Not even we are busy give me a min or anything. I can't speak on the food because we didn't eat there.

Such a special place! Delicious food, super friendly atmosphere... chalkboard menu on one wall, which we loved. Very small with a local feel, but SO worth it!! Thank you! ( We came back more than once during our week stay ??)

Kind of disappointed. Service was not like reviews said. We sat there for 10 to 15 minutes wait to even be acknowledged. When our waiter did finally show up he just put silver are on the table and walked off again. Was a shame. Canned sausage gravy as well. The upside was the food came out super fast.

Off the beaten path, perhaps where the locals only, go...we discovered a small gem of a diner with smallish portions but tasty food. The waitress was a bit gruff but she warmed up as did the frigid diner after a few minutes... What makes me say, we'll be back?! I said the food was tasty but it's the visit from the Chef, checking on all his customers, and then talking up my father-in-law's alma mater! Did I say locals only, well, please include all the (in the know) snowbirds! BTW: they sell their mugs - and yes, we bought one! And bring your sweatshirt/jacket - it does get really cold every 10 minutes so you'll thank me :-)

Loved the atmosphere. Food was okay, service was less than desirable.
