Came in today with my daughter. A customer told us to have a seat. Never saw an employee in almost 10 mins. Hot & muggy inside with the door propped open. We decided to leave after a customer went behind the counter to serve himself as he was chewing his food. I’ve worked in the industry a long time & know restaurant standards. Won’t return. Went to Lakes Pancake house in Antioch. Amazing!!!! Not even comparable!

Small town, family sit down restaurant. This. Is. Classic. America.
Burgers are everything you expect from a Mom and Pop diner. The soup is hot and fresh. We love it. You will too.

A Hidden Gem Full of Heart

This small-town diner is not just a place to grab a meal—it’s an experience that restores your faith in community and kindness. Run singlehandedly by one incredibly dedicated individual, the diner is a testament to resilience and the power of human connection.

We visited during the holidays, a time when the diner was packed with both familiar faces and curious newcomers. What unfolded was nothing short of magical. As the owner hustled tirelessly to keep up with the growing crowd, customers—both regulars and strangers—stepped in to lend a hand. Some poured coffee, others cleared tables, and one even helped carry plates to the hungry patrons. It wasn’t just about the food; it was about a community coming together in the most unexpected, heartwarming way.

The menu was simple but delicious, each dish prepared with care and served with a side of genuine warmth. There’s something special about a place where you feel like family the moment you walk in the door.

This diner is more than just a stop on the map—it’s a reminder of what makes small towns so special: shared moments, unspoken camaraderie, and the kind of humanity that leaves you with a full belly and an even fuller heart.

We’ll be back, not just for the food but for the love and spirit that fills this little place to the brim.

Good but not great.

Listen, the food was good, but it's dated, the waitress has zero personality and we felt like we were interrupting people when we came in.

Super greasy food! Hash browns with grilled onion was swimming in oil. Eggs over easy covered in oil. Biscuit and gravy had no taste. Will NEVER eat here again.

Extremely good quality fresh well-made food with amazing ingredients. And by nice people and at. Reasonable price. Best meal I've had in a very long time!!! It's so amazing to find real food when everything else is bad. Even the tomatoes are fresh and have flavor.
