BANGING!!! Just moved into the area and wanted a local diner. You will feel right at home here. Got the chicken biscuit with sausage gravy and nearly brought a tear to my eye. All the flavors took me back to sitting at my grandma’s table as a little boy. Coffee was perfect, portion was perfect and the price was perfect. Looking around I could see and hear all the guests just loving this location with hugs and handshakes and good spirits. Everyone was so kind and sitting alone...
