This place was a wonderful spot for brunch. The food was great for a decent price, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and it was an overall great spot to grab a bite! Would love to come here again:)

The food for breakfast was good, decently priced. But what was the best aspect was how welcoming and pleasant the staff and owner were. The premises were clean and the memorabilia was interesting.
July 2024
Not the greatest today, unfortunately.

Two of us came for lunch; I ordered the Philly steak sandwich and my mom ordered the tenderloin special. Both served with fries. My sandwich was was lacking steak, which turned out ok, because it tasted like it was freezer burnt and was a bit rubbery. My mom's tenderloin tasted like it was fried in old grease. The fries were good and crispy, though.

We'll be back, but today just wasn't...
