We've been coming to the diner for 20 years. However we are very unhappy now that you removed breakfast and I was told it was a done deal. We know lots of people who are unhappy. There is no reason for this. You've always been a place to get breakfast anytime. Your hamburgers and tenderloins are good. However you never update your menu. You need better salads more non meals like baked pasta and wraps. This is not 2003. It's almost 2025. Get some in there...
Amazing food. They oddly stagger their seating, as a former restaurant manager I understand the stress a kitchen and wait staff can endure, but having people wait 5-10 minutes before seating them at a table where they can start to at minimum order beverages. The ambiance is very old school, not in the best way possible, especially when the rest of the hotel the restaurant resides in was just remodeled. The wait staff did not seem happy, bubbly or energetic.
Wonderful food, classic roadside diner. A bit co fusing where the front of the building is but other than that we had a great experience. We had a very large family reunion there and they were understaffed. One of the chefs was helping wait tables so there is no all day breakfast but it was still a wonderful experience!
