“Had my husband’s Memorial Service there on Sunday, May 18, 2025! And I must say they did an absolutely wonderful job, with setting everything up to the food & being attentative to any of the guests needs. Had guests tell me the place was beautiful & the food was exquisite with taste & variety! Hats off to you Niko, Chandra & the rest of your staff for a job well done!! 💕💕“

“Came across this place on a road trip and liked it so much we decided to make a second stop for breakfast. The food is delicious and generously portioned. The first day I had the Greek scramble, the second we tried the french toast with fruit (pictured), and both were fantastic. The service is quick and friendly; this place obviously has a lot of regulars, and for good reason. Will absolutely return on our next visit to the area.“

“Dinner tonight was just awesome!!! Friendly service, fantastic meal with over the stop dinner salad, boasted chicken dinner served perfectly!!! Great job Cafe 20...never disappoints!!! (pictures posted in comments)“

“Pointer’s Saloon allowed me to host a Celebration of Life type event. They accommodated between 20-30 people on a Saturday night in their dining area which later lead us to the bar area. The owner personally came and greeted me and gave his condolences. The staff was absolutely amazing, attentive, friendly and fast! They had food made ON TIME & kept up with our add ons. It made for a wonderful night on a sad occasion. I highly recommend them whether for a late night beverage or a gathering such as ours. Also, the communication between the owner directly was impressive as well as the friendly ladies that originally took me call to get me in touch with the owner as well as the servers that called prior to our arrival to make sure they had everything arranged for my liking! I can’t say enough about this whole encounter preparing for & enjoying our evening, it was great!“

“First of all - I love old school diners. This is an awesome place & the owners are such nice people. My personal favorite here is the chili-cheese omlette (I don't think it's on the regular menu but they'll make it every day for you). Also love the club sandwich *& chicken soup.“
