We stopped there to eat recently and we were so disappointed!! We ordered the country fried steak dinner and the potatoes were old not heated through and brown. Worse....they covered it SAUSAGE gravy!! We couldn't get past the sausage gravy left over from breakfast all over it.

I recommend YES on the delicious food. But NO on mischarging. Today Nov 13, 2025,my husband ordered the regular Monte Cristo at $9.60 plus a salad at $1.75. However they charged him for the deluxe sandwich which included salad and fries.. PLUS the salad that he ordered. When we tried to point it out at the cash register and held out the menu to show their price, the waitress grabbed it from my hand and said something about some people just don't read the menu. She would not change the bill so we ended up paying for the deluxe plus another salad. As much as I love the food, I really don't want to go back.

Country style, very casual. Very good food, excellent service, moderately priced. Very busy. Noisy.

I love dessert. The dessert isn’t fresh. The cheese cake and chocolate cake are kinda dried out.
