Food great. The lack of respect for the disabled is the reason for two stars. One particular waitress with a sassy New Yorker attitude was fine till she wasn’t. After a handicapped elderly man who was eating by himself left, she openly shamed him for making a mess and got another customer on board to talk $hit. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was a guest of a local so I chose to not make address it since the customer want there, but had it happened ahead of him there would have been a mess there last night. This took place yesterday March 22, 2024. Not matter how the good the food is, no one should ever be allowed handicap shame anyone.

We eat here way more than we should and I’m convinced there’s some magic going on in that kitchen. Every single thing always tastes good. I could live off their chicken pot pie soup and chicken tenders with fries. You get crazy portions for a good price. Absolutely love the staff, Mary is such a special lady and probably my favorite part about eating here. I hope it stays this way forever!

Nice little diner. They have a menu and a board on the wall with their specials. Portions are big, and prices are good. We always eat here a time or two during our camping at the Alafia River Rendezvous every January. Service is always great! And they have tater tots!!!

Used when heading from Orlando to Fort Myers. Feels like a country diner. It was nice to be able to choose the size of the burger. The taste is normal. Service is fast.
