Best pizza in town!!! Great atmosphere!!!

Butterfly shrimp was good as were the fries but the restaurant is very run down and not managed well in my opinion. Booth was very loose on the floor. Tables not cleared in a timely manner. Ordered an olive burger, waitress came back and said they were out of olives. Ordered a side of fried mushrooms, no mushrooms. Bathroom was in very poor condition. I’m disappointed in how the “owner” responds to people’s reviews. Very rude. Wouldn’t go there again.

Thought I'd give them a try, however having only 2 customers in their establishment they were unable to take an order in the 20 minutes of sitting there. Very dissatisfied in the whole experience. Will not return or recommend.

Where do I start. I walked in and greeted by the male cook/owner tried to convince my party of 4 we didn’t wanna eat there. Told us they were out of half the menu when we tried to order. Only place I ever ate at that was so greasy the coffee tasted like bacon.

We came in for lunch yesterday on a Saturday afternoon, it was very very good! our burgers were huge, tasty and hot. I got the fries with mine, my friend got the onion rings. Everything was made to order, but came fast of the grill and steaming hot. I highly recommend this restaurant. We have been here for breakfast several times, the bacon is great, eggs come out perfect and the biscuit and gravy is tasty.

The 2 Blueberry pancakes were very good and more than I could eat. Bacon was also great, thick and cooked just right. Great coffee too.

Best cafe ever!

My husband and I ate here for the first time today because we recently moved to the area and love trying the Mom-n-Pop stops. I will say that this place has some of the best bacon around, hands down. I ordered the country fried steak breakfast and the steak seemed to be a little rubbery. I think that this diner is known for doing their meat "well done" though because a lot of regulars there prefer it that way. I'll know for next time when I try the NY Strip breakfast on our next trip there. They seemed to be out of a few things such as Decaf coffee, American fries and lemons for water and iced tea. The server, although kind, could've used a smile when greeting customers or a more peppy attitude. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will be back. Prices are great considering the portion sizes are big. I like the signs on the wall in the diner. I loved that it's a small establishment. The bathroom could use an update but from the reviews I read, it sounds like the guy they rent from is dragging his feet on helping them out with this. Either way, make your own judgements. Oh, also, I seen a lot of people complain about the wait time for menus and food... There were a few people ahead of us and I feel like we were given menus and drinks immediately and food was out within 10-15 minutes.

Parking: All parking spots are close to the entrance.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps entering the building so easily accessible.

My wife and I have gone here for years to eat breakfast. Very good food and generous portions. However service has always been sub-par. Don't go if you are in a hurry. Only one waitress to serve dine in customers and not a good waitress. The cook can only make one ticket at a time. Sorry to say they lost our business. The last time we went, there were 5 tables that had people. We sat down and after15 minutes we got up and walked out. The waitress could have given us some water and a menu. She should have let us know we weren't invisible. She really needs to learn how to multi-task. And a good cook can manage several tickets at once. But it's their business and if they are happy with being sub-par they will do it without our business.

I went today to get breakfast and the owner was there running the place by himself but he still had a friendly, positive attitude and the biscuits and gravy was the best!
