Excellent food! The servers were very attentive and polite! We had the French Dip sandwich, the Chicken Philly sandwich, and the Patty Melt! All were great especially the Patty Melt. The fries were spot on!

Stopped in for breakfast and was not disappointed. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy, the home-fried potatoes had that golden crisp edge, and the corned beef hash was hearty and full of flavor — not greasy like you get at some places. The toast was warm and buttered just right, and the coffee kept coming, hot and strong.

Service was friendly and fast, and the place has that cozy, old-school diner vibe where everyone seems to know each other. Great spot for both breakfast and lunch — simple, satisfying, and affordable. Definitely coming back.

It was my first time here. The service was very attentive and it is so much bigger and airy than from what it appears from the outside.
You will be charged a VERY SMALL fee if you use a card instead of cash but that was fine.
I had a breakfast skillet and my friend had the walleye. Both was very good; but wow the WALLEYE was amazing! I will have to go back on a FRIDAY and order that!!

I gave 2 stars because it is very clean and nice inside.
That being said it was very slow!
There were two bigger groups of people there but they already had their food when we walked in.
The service was ok not great.
I don’t understand all the great reviews on the food but I did notice a lot of them are about their breakfasts and we had lunch so I can’t speak about the breakfast.
I ordered the ceaser chicken wrap and it was barely edible!
I was starving so tried to eat it but couldn’t eat half of it!!
The chicken was so dried out it was like jerky!!
My husband said his burger tasted like a frozen patty and didn’t finish his either.
The waitress asked if we needed to go boxes because we obviously had a lot of food left on our plates, yet she didn’t bother to ask if everything was ok with our meal!
We will definitely not be back!!!
