Great homemade food. Service is quick and friendly. This place is a must for homemade food. Sorry, I ate some before the pic. Smothered steak.

If you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, great food (try the walleye) and fast friendly service at a reasonable price...this is a great place to go.

We stopped for lunch. The parking lot was almost full. Inside it was packed. We were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait unless we wanted to eat at the small mt bar. That was fine. Quick service. The food ( I had meatloaf, my wife had chicken parm) was great. Only knock was the bread was just slices of white bread and the salad was good but just plain lettuce and dressing. Pretty large portions. We took leftovers home for supper.

Food was great. Had beef and noodles, along with bean with bacon soup. Service is efficient. Went late afternoon/ early evening so it was a fairly old crowd.

Wonderful home-cooked food with great service and reasonable prices. Always a full house when we go. Homey atmosphere. We usually go with a group of 10+ so reservations are made ahead of time.

Nothing fancy here just good food. Portions are ample and the wait staff is really good at what they do. Hot beef sandwich was like manna from heaven. Salads could use a little sprucing up, don't remember there being a lettuce shortage. Potato soup was a 10 as was my meal.

This restaurant is amazing 👏 all around. The service and atmosphere are both welcoming. My wife and I did not regret dinning in on our anniversary. We got the chicken parmesan and its the best we have ever had! I love sauces and the ranch dressing is amazing as well. If you go already or hungry or hungry Lol! Not to worry. The servers bring out bread and water right away!

Food was amazing, can’t wait to go back and try their pasta dishes. Our server, Patty, was very attentive and stayed on top of everything. It was very clean, comfortable and felt very welcoming.

First time visiting this restaurant & would highly recommend it. I would suggest cutting back on the salt in the gravy on the roast beef. The dinner was was very plentiful & the meat was very tender.

Great place to eat. I've been going there for over 25 years. They have the best chicken cordon bleu sandwich in town. I'm not sure who was working last Wensday night I believe it was but I called to place an order 10 tell 9 and she didn't have one issue with it. She took the order like it was 6 in the evening . And it was over a 100 order. Ty for being so accommodating much appreciated. Great neighborhood restaurant.
