Great longtime favorite! Nothing fancy, just good food and good service. It's good that some things are reliable over time. Every time I'm in town I have dinner here at least once. Update 2025: quite a few years later it's still just great and reliable and wonderful as always. Friendly faces, great food. 6000+ miles and I still stop in every time I can.
