I worked here, and I need to warn both staff and customers about what really goes on. The main problem is the owner. He tried to control my personal life, and when I didn’t allow that, he took it out on me at work by cutting hours and creating a hostile environment. He is extremely controlling toward his employees, to the point where it feels pointless to even try.

The price of food may be cheap, but the quality is garbage — and the owner refuses to let anyone make improvements. For example, don’t expect decent French toast here. He won’t allow anything except plain egg, claiming cinnamon sugar is “gross.” Staff are stuck serving food the way he demands, even when they know it could be better.

The way he treats customers is just as bad. If he doesn’t like you, he’ll disrespect you, harp on you, or even kick you out. It’s the opposite of good customer service.

The staff themselves work hard and genuinely care, but the owner’s behavior makes it impossible to deliver quality food or service.

If you’re considering working here, be warned: the stress comes directly from the top. If you’re considering eating here, understand that the disrespect and poor quality come from the way this place is being run — not from the employees.

Not friendly to large groups of out of town visitors. They made no attempt to serve us even though there was more than 1hr before they were scheduled to close.

Small-town roadside diner. Opens at 7:00 for breakfast and lunch, last orders at 1:30 and closes at 2:00. The dining room is immaculately clean. The non-gendered washrooms are also very clean, handicapped capable and with a diaper changing station. Friendly service, and very well prepared food from a simple but ample menu. (They used to smoke their own brisket, but no more, alas.) Prices are fair and the waitress keeps the coffee circulating. A well-run place for straightforward, well prepared food.
