Great tasting food, both in quality and quantity. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. There is plenty of parking available and is easily accessible.

Will definitely return, we had the chicken and waffles and chicken fried steak meals. They were both insanely amazing, fresh and hot! Very large portion on the chicken fried steak, came with a side of toast or pancakes and I got the pancakes. It was all great!The restaurant has cute diner vibes and you could feel the family-run atmosphere, all around great breakfast! Very reasonably priced and a huge menu. 10/10 :)

Well what can I say about this place. It would be a good place to stop after leaving the bar at 2 a.m.Visited on a Sunday for brunch, menu is limited (breakfast, hamburgers and sandwiches). We ordered breakfast and I think the cook took a 30 minute lunch break because it took forever to get our food. Never did get refills on drinks and my Iced with lemon came with two pieces of rotten lemon. As we sat waiting to order, 2 very young boys were clearing tables and they we slamming plates into the bin making a ton of noise then they would pause from working to stand and stare at patrons (extremely rude). The food left a lot to be desired and I cannot say I would return.

This place is awesome, food and service, top of the line, sure, it is not as fancy and up-to-date as most place, but it is clean, food is great, and service was awesome, nice little family restaurant, where good people run it, and they are doing there best,

Very clean, family operated restaurant. The food and service were fantastic! To me, hot fresh food is important. I had the #1 breakfast combo of two eggs, hashbrowns, and two strips of bacon with rye toast, and it was all piping hot!

Darn good breakfast, delicious hashbrowns and the Philly omelets is better than cheesesteak sandwiches I've had in town. A+We never did get a refill to drink because our waiter didn't return after delivering the food and we did have to eventually track someone down to pay the bill.

Great traditional diner breakfast. Awesome hash browns and hearty bacon.
