Unfortunately, there was youth groups that showed up and left the door open which was making customers freeze they clogged up the entryway, you would’ve thought that they would’ve called ahead for such large people to show up at a diner on a Sunday morning.

“Delicious! I was new to the place so we got a variety of items to try, on the recommendation of my brother.
I had the mama's favorite chicken sandwich and the chicken was juicy, tender and flavorful. Everything was fresh from the mozz to the spinach.
We also had the herb parm potato slices which were flavorful.
My partner had the mango chicken salad, the home made salsa was so good he wanted to take some to go (unfortunately they only do small batches at a time!)
We took two orders to go- smothered chicken and the 5 way chili. Even reheated, the smothered chicken was phenomenal! My brothers favorite is always the 5 way chili!“

“Many people have been ripped off through bogus bitcoin investment schemes. People must be informed on how these investment frauds are being perpetrated, most investors who have been defrauded are either emailed or contact via social media platforms with a promising investment opportunity by these fraudsters, or they are approached by a friend, family member, or online love partner who tells them how they have made money online and encourages that they attempt it as well. Investors are often encouraged and cajoled to join up for 'crypto-asset trading' online and put funds into a trading account, either through a crypto wallet or a bank account, when they get hooked into the scheme, the fraudsters then urges them to put in more money with high hopes for greater ROI. When an investor views their account on the supposed trading platform, it may appear that they are generating lots of gains at first (thanks to @Gaurdtechbolt on Instagram), but later shows huge 'trading losses' even if no actual trading is taking place. Bitcoin con artists either cut off all communication when the investor decides to request a withdrawal or demand more money before the money is given. Please take note: instead of sending any further money, considergetting in touch with a cyber security expert right away for assistance in finding them. ⚠️guardtechbolt⚠️It is a wild world on the internet space especially with the numerous opportunities for everyone to take advantage of. However, while most people are looking to take advantage of the opportunities, some are there assessing the loopholes there are to scheme people out of their hard-earned money. Although Investment rarely comes without a level of risk, but that risk increases exponentially for those unaware of the tactics of predatory fraudsters. The first protection against becoming a victim of a scam is to spot the signs Any investment that sounds too good to be true probably is. Be cautious of unsolicited phone calls, emails or letters offering one-off investment opportunities Don't be pressured into an investment. Give yourself time to do due diligence so you can make an informed decision Get advice from a government body, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), or an independent professional financial adviser you trust. Don't be bitten twice. Avoid follow-on frauds, where scam organizers pass on the details of investors they've swindled to other fraudsters. The second protection is to get your money back by enforcing your rights as a creditor. @Guardtechbolt on Instagram has recovered funds for victims in a wide range of investment fraud and scam cases, including for those who have fallen victim to unauthorized firms and individuals running investment scams such as share fraud Cloned firms Bitcoin and other digital currency scams.“

“We have been to the Pluckemin Inn several times over the years and as always the service was outstanding. I had the swordfish while my girlfriend had the salmon and we shared a tuna pokey appetizer. All dishes were excellent and prepared perfectly. We shared a dessert, plucky cake, this is where it fell short. This was below average at best. A little bit dry and the buttercream frosting was not creamy at all, but rather stiff and a bit dry as well. The cake tasted as though it was left over from a few days earlier.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“
