READ THIS: first of all, please note that this coming from a teenager that works in the food industry. As I have experienced first hand what it is like working in both kitchen and service roles, I know the ends and outs of what is expected in restaurants no matter their standards. Especially when it comes to sanitation policies. I should not be watching you pick up the cheese to put on my chicken sandwich with your BARE HANDS! NO GLOVES!! That is absolutely unacceptable. While waiting on my food for 20 mins, I did not one time see any of them even pick up a glove. I continued to watch the kitchen workers touch food with their hands that who knows when the last time they washed their hands was. This is disgusting. Do you really want to go to a restaurant where men are picking up your food with their bare hands???I don’t think anybody does. This is very disappointing.

This is a great little roadside diner.
Small town feel where the staff goes out of their way to learn their customers!

Went there for lunch with my coworker. Love the idea of the place but the food was average at best. I had the mushroom Swiss burger with onion rings. Stand fare. My buddy had the special, meatloaf plate and 2 sides. Said he liked it and it was good.

The manager here was extremely rude when we had a complaint about the food/service. She was very disinterested in what we had to say and continued to ring up our bill. We had eaten here before prior to the current owners and the food was so much better as well as the service. The decor was so depressing. This was our first and last time eating here and would NOT recommend this restaurant. I guess we should have known not to go in by the lack of cars in the parking that it was not as good as it used to be. Lesson learned all be it the costly and terrible tasting food and service way!!!

Only thing that redeems this place was the waitress, she was very tentative to the tables. our table and 3 other tables, two were eating, we placed our order and few minutes afterwards the other table placed theirs. 37 mins for some fried chicken wraps that were TINY ?!?!? Soggy fries, And on top of that all the cursing and hollering from the cook staff. Definitely will not step foot back in.

My favorite thing so far is the chicken sandwich and the hot chips. Tastes home made and a large portion. The dining area has a lot of potential. I’m the type of person that goes places not only for the food but for the atmosphere. They have some cute decorations that make it fun and unique like the pictures, records, and vintage tv. It would be cool if there was more of that. I really think this place could be the spot with more decor and some drinks (at least some beer). Climax really needs it….lol.

We were the only people in there until 1 more lady came in by herself to eat. The hot dogs were good but I had to go hunt the waitress down for refills, ketchup, and the check. She was playing on her phone, wearing leggings as pants, and apparently doesn’t own a bra. The other lady that was in there waitressing was no help either. We will not be going back. It used to be good before they took away breakfast and is under new ownership. Also the place needs a new decorator..

I usually take out but, sometimes eat in. The food is good and reasonably priced. Service can be slow as everywhere these days it is hard to find people willing to work.
