Our dinners were good and our server was very attentive to our needs. We are traveling from Oregon to New Jersey and will eat here ever time we pass through here.

First time going with the new owners and my food was delicious. Coffee was a little weak, but with that being said, I asked the server to give us darker coffee and they obliged. Great service. Clean seats definitely worth going back

Great homemade breakfast at a great price.
Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, the meal was satisfying without being expensive. A perfect, simple start to the day.

It's a solid restaurant. Good service and fair portions at a decent price. I like to try different dishes, so today was spaghetti and meatballs. It came with toasted garlic bread and a choice of side dish. It was good, but I'll probably opt for meat sauce next time. The two eatballs were about tennis ball sized, but needed salt. Anyway, we'll be back again. Nice place for a sit down, relaxed meal with friends. 🧡

Stopped by on 7/10/2025 after camping at the local KOA hoping to get a good breakfast before a long day on the road traveling back east from Montana and found an empty parking lot at 7 am. No sign on the door, no lights on.
If this establishment has closed it would probably be good to remove it from Google. Otherwise, a note on the might have been nice.

I took my 6 kids for lunch and I know ordering food for 8 people takes a while but HOW COW, we sat in the car for almost 2 hours. Between waiting for our food we ordered and ice cream. The food was good, but because of the wait I won’t be back. I did order an ice cream cone for the road, it took over 20 minutes to get 1 cone…

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We got seated and our drinks. Order our food which wasnt a lot. Then two families where sat after us and ordered after us and they got their food. Mind you we also have a type 1 diabetic toddler. Thank goodness we didnt dose him for the food. I would not recommend this place.
