My husband and I had breakfast, he ordered a bacon skillet, I had eggs over medium with raisin toast and American fries. All of the food was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful.Kid-friendliness: The children we saw appeared to enjoy everything.

Not overly impressed at all. According to the commercial, "breakfast shouldn't break the bank". 1 order of "steak" and eggs with loaded potatoes and a veggie skillet with tip cost almost $40! The only pleasant thing was that the staff was extremely polite but the food is not worth it.

The owner and cook, Pete, can be rude to customers and heard he is worse to his own waitresses! Enough for me.....

Nice restaurant but fairly mediocre. Pretty standard diner service and food. Everything was, as you would expect a typical diner to be.

This spot was suggested to us by a local business and I regret to say that I was so badly disappointed. The staff did not seem genuinely friendly and the food was average, if not, less.I was unhappy with the lack of options on the menu and the fact that I was charged $6 for just 3 French toast alone. The waitress had to leave our table 3 separate times in the midst of taking our order because the cook/owner kept distracting her.I ordered a hot tea which the waitress forgot to bring 3 times. I finally received the tea without a cup or anything to put in it. I also didn't get any syrup for the French toast I ordered but made sure everyone had ketchup for their hashbrowns. After our food was delivered our waitress never came to our table to see if we needed any other assistance and I had to wait an extra 10 minutes to even try to locate an employee, that wasn't being over worked, to get me some cream and syrup.We finished our food and hadn't noticed the waitress had laid our order on the table in the most illegible writing so now I am really hoping there weren't any extra charges from the previous negative reviews I'd seen about hidden fees. I go to the counter to pay only to find they're CASH ONLY. Was there a sign upon entry? No. Was it explained to us when we ordered? No. I assumed there had to be some notification somewhere. So I ask the hostess and she just pointed to the small print on the bottom corner on the front of the menu. Luckily they have an atm at the entrance that charges you $3 to pull money out to pay your bill ?To sum this all up, I will not be coming back and I will not suggest anyone come here due to the horrible service we received and complete facade of customer service this place provides.Honorable mentions: the women's bathroom is the equivalent of a shoebox. When hot water spilled on the table, it turned brown from the lack of proper cleaning to the tables. It's definitely got the 50s feel by the lack of diversity by the employees and customers.
