Friendly setting and atmosphere of a vintage dinner.
The dishes are nothing exceptional for the price, I expected more flavors and quantity. Service a little long too.

We were there at 2am so maybe that was it. Food was OK. I don't remeber it being that expensive.

Certain plates in our group were good, some weren't anything special.

I highly recommend the fried chicken!!!! So crispy, juicy and delicious.

Food - we had burger and hot dog was boring but too expensive for that quality. Fries not really tasty. We will not visit again.

Just perfect, we loved it, a real treat, the hamburger was delicious and the slightly garlicky fries were killer.
We recommend 1000%

Better than expected, stopped here because I got to my hotel way later than expected and it seemed like a quick place to eat. Some of the best cooked skinny fries I've had and almost everything we got was good. The smashburger was somewhat flavorless and the veggies tasted like they'd been steamed all day then thrown on the flat top for a semblance of brown but the meatloaf and short rib was surprisingly tender and soft while being delicious. Not confident I'll come back with all the amazing food in the area but I definitely wasn't disappointed.

Was a nice place. Service could be better. They forgot my beer, and the sliders didn't have blue cheese where it was advertised on the menu. Also the turkey slider was replaced with beef without asking. Had the Melburger which was nice, just a little dry with no sauce. Felt more of a tourist place rather than authentic American diner.

extremely disappointing biscuits and gravy. they came with brown gravy on them and were an abomination. I also ordered coffee and it never arrived. the atmosphere was nice.

It's a diner. They weren't overly busy but took forever to get food and they never offered refills or checked on us. Came for the bill after we had been chatting for a while.
