This place is super down to earth with friendly staff and, most importantly, very good food! It definitely exemplifies a small town diner vibe. I came in here for breakfast one morning and was not disappointed at all. Biggest thing to keep in mind is they only accept cash or check for payment. Luckily there is an ATM outside the diner to the right.
This is that kind of diner where the waitress calls you honey and sweetie and the and the regulars have been eating there for the last six presidential terms. This is America in a diner!
I visited this Cafe a month ago and loved the atmosphere! Made me feel like I was at my home county’s ma and pa restaurants. I only ordered coffee and a drink. So that is why I don’t leave a review for the food. However I got to have a small talk conversation with a local and they had pancakes that smelled devine and they were huge! As I was just in the area needing to kill time while my husband was at a training.
The staff were so nice, they knew the locals...
