Sadly, the food has taken a serious nosedive, and our recent visit was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had in a long time. For the prices they charge now, this level of careless, flavorless cooking is unacceptable. It’s not just “one bad day”. We are genuinely bummed that a longtime local spot has fallen this far. You failed us.
Never again. The owner (or whoever he is) was so demeaning to his staff it was disgusting. Sitting on his bottom, sipping coffee barking orders & putting his staff down. These girls deserve better than that! I HAVE NEVER seen anyone treat their employees like such garbage. Not surprised it was empty.

Place must be closing down, never open. Sunday 10am diners closed. Friday 830pm diners closed.
Worst diner ever ! First off ordered the stuffed seafood mushroom caps , NO SEAFOOD THAT WE COULD FIND OR TASTE , took 2 bites and we were done ! They did take them off our bill . HOWEVER MY WIFE ORDERED A FREMCH DIP AND HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 6 minutes for her aujus , She bit into her French dip and noticed for one there was NO PROVALONE CHEESE ON IT . Our fault we assumed every proper French dip came with provalone , however there’s didn’t . And she kept chewing and chewing and chewing , as the waitress finally came over she pulled a long piece of grizzle from her mouth and showed the waitress what she was trying to eat . The waitress said Do you wanna take it home ? My wife said NO I WANNA EAT IT ! At that point I also noticed the club sandwich I ordered WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE , HAD NO CHEDDAR CHEESE . At that point we were done and told the waitress WERE DONE JUST GIVE US THE BILL WE WILL PAY IT AND BE ON OUR WAY . The. Went to pay for it the cashier asked how everything was I mentioned to her WE DIDNT EAT . Explained to her the situation and she said I CANT TAKE EVERYTHING OFF ! I said I did t ask you to take everything off but my wife took one bite of the French dip and was done . I wasn’t looking for a free meal I was more than happy to pay FOR WHAT WE ATE . But said no problem I’ll pay for it all . $45. The. She asked me if I wanna leave a tip for the waitress I SAID NO , TAKE IT OUT THE $45 I just paid you !!!!
Definitely nothing to call home about. Not great but not terrible. Ribs are trash though, person I was with said meal was descent enough.

Fish meals are below average and it seems like this diner specializes in seafood. The frozen French fries are disgusting, get a new vendor. No spring mix salads, just cheap iceberg. Not going back, 3 strikes.

Went their 11.23 2025 everything was Great even the 2 gentlemen at the register were Great made u feel welcome.
So we go back today 11.24.2025 service was good food great,however the lady at the register was rude my family and I were leaving I was in ladies room she stops my 14 year old granddaughter telling her she cant leave because we didn't pay. Mind u I was still in restaurant and y would u do that to a child. I get their might be issues with people walking out without paying but u could of stop my daughter my son in law but not my 14 year old grandchild .To top it off when I was paying the bill she going to say she didn't do anything wrong .Then she going to say i didn't have money cause the credit card machine time out and didn't charge my card. So she made our great experience horrible if I go back and thats if . She their i will walk out RUDE RUDE
