We went there Sunday 9-21-25 for breakfast. Got there b4 10. They were busy but not crazy. There were empty tables. 3 guys in kitchen. Appeared one ticket at a time. Took us till almost 1130. To get our meals. Should have switched to lunch. Their chicken fried steak used to be delicious. This was deep fried mostly breading smothered in gravy. Horrible. Be awhile b4 try that again

We went there for breakfast last Sunday morning. First. we were asked to move to a different table, because of a large group that came in. Then, we ordered our drinks, and received them. After that, we were ignored. We finally got a waitresses attention, and asked for our bill. We will not be coming back.

Super super slow and waitresses have no care to let you know about why your food is taking 45 min nor care to refill drinks while you wait..hopefully you receive hot food when you get it. Sucks when we as truck drivers just want a good hot meal in a timely manner bc we are on the clock or had a nerve wrecking day from the road..customer service is NOT what it used to be and definitely NOT important at this location ! Do better !!

Staff was very patient with me as I was unfamiliar with this type of menu. Definitely recommend a breakfast bagel.

A terrible experience.
I asked for grilled chicken strips which were on the menu and was given fried so she went and asked if I could get grilled. After 5 minutes of waiting while my husband had his food and it was getting colder and the soup was not hot to start with, she came back and said I couldn’t get the grilled ones. She brought my original ones back and I had to pick off the breading which I am not supposed to have. I asked for green beans and I did get those. She forgot my salad and as we were ready to leave asked if we wanted it to go. Since we were traveling from TX, that was not an option.
No one there made an effort to make it right.
Don’t bother going there.

Prime rib Saturdays after 4. Tasted great! Does not serve alcohol if that's important to you.

Random stop and very happy with the breakfast for two! 11 am Saturday driving through on rte 30 to destination. Recommend!
Clean restrooms with a bidet in the women’s which I hear was fantastic. Try the Exclusive setting! Sadly, no bidet in men’s area

Closes at 8 o’clock what a joke!

The restaurant isn’t the same as I remember. The food quality has slipped, with mostly frozen items just heated for service, and the service was slower than expected. That said, I really appreciate them still offering extended hours breakfast. I know it’s not easy, but I’d love to see them get back to the home-cooked comfort food we’ve all enjoyed in the past!

Good food, nice quantities, our waitress was great but could have not been so stressed if there were more wait staff.
