I drive by this place all the time and have never tried it. Today, I was able to stop in. I was greeted right away by friendly staff. The place definitely has the feeling and appearance of a greasy spoon dive. I was hoping for the buttery hash browns that dives are known for, and I was not disappointed. The omelet was huge! Had to take over half home with me. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Even the other guests were very friendly.Great food, great people. Will definitely...

REALLY tasty food. This spot is the epitome of a greasy spoon restaurant. Fantastic food, but it could use a (really) deep cleaning. One item was forgotten on my order, but they brought it out right away.

I like the old fashioned Truck Stop Dinner look. The food is original burger joint style, like back in the day's...! ??,?, ??. + they also have burritos & ribs...! ?, ?.
Vegetarian options: If you like burritos, they also make veggie burritos, or chicken burritos are available made fresh...! ?,??.
