Food was not good...hot turkey sandwich was made with thin sliced cold cuts that tasted off...bottled or canned gravy and cornbread stuffing was old and dry and tasted like it had been warmed up in old rancid oil. Only good thing were the French fries. My companion's turkey wrap made with same cold cuts. Was also charged over the menu cost for the added stuffing. I brought it to the owner's attention and he returned the money in coins. Would not go there again.

Good breakfast Eggs Benedict was cooked very well. Hollandaise sauce was creamy. I added some Sriracha to give a kick! Poached eggs were done wonderfully.
Delicious breakfast with 2 pieces of French toast, eggs over easy, sausag3 and bacon. Coffee and OJ. All in all God quick Diner location.
The restaunt has operated at that location for 13 years but has been in the city of Scotia NY for over 45 years!

I am regrettably writing a bad review for this place. I have been coming here for almost 20 years even before to its current location. It was run by nice older couple and son cooked. Been there for many years after with both good and bad experiences. Went in for lunch today and the son/cook/owner took our order. Everything was fine when ordering except my father changed his order once I ordered to my order as it sounded better for him. Unfortunately, the owner did not like that and decided to kick us out and not serve us after showing his frustration and stress. I know this sounds like it’s missing something to the story but it is not. In recent years this place has been lacking and I understand having a bad day but I tried reason with him but his actions and behavior was totally uncalled for. I will unfortunately not be returning this place again. And I am going to assume it won’t be around much longer if he can’t control his anger.

The moment my 2 girl friends and I walked in, we felt really unwelcome. We got a lot of stares and were seated at a table in the middle of the diner. We politely and warmly asked if we could move to a booth—there were plenty available, no wait—and were met with an unexpectedly VERY rude and mean response. Despite our friendly and warm approach, we felt like we were being treated differently. Eventually, a more kind waitress came along and moved us to a booth, but at that point, we felt so uncomfortable. It seemed like the staff might have preferred locals or regulars, which was confusing since we all grew up in Scotia. It’s a shame because we were really hoping for a good experience. Sadly, we won’t be coming back.

When trying to go out for a family breakfast today, we were disappointed to be refused service because there are seven of us. We had three young children and offered to squeeze into a round corner booth to which they refused and just simply said they could not serve us. No offer of waiting or accommodating by putting other tables together.

I rated all 5s as a diner. What anyone could reasonably expect from a local they do well. Good eats, reasonably priced, attentive service and a neighborhood diner atmosphere. Not real close to home, but my wife and I go about as frequently as our travels bring us nearby.

Place had a great vibe, looking forward to going back.
I’ve been going to this place for years, and send a lot of people here because the breakfast is really good. The last time I was here the waiter which was a man I didn’t catch his name was very rude! Had an attitude the whole time and I usually don’t leave bad reviews but the way I was treated this time, I didn’t even eat there. Sat down at a table that was clean and no one was sitting at, due to the fact we’re always told to seat ourselves…. A older woman came and told us to get up and wait in front in the most rude way she possibly could… I felt so uncomfortable I walked out. Should’ve never came back after the last time! Don’t waste your time and eat here.

Went for lunch the other day and the way the owner came out and spoke to his employees was embarrassing and disgusting. The place is dirty and the owner n his wife don’t know how to treat there employees at all and makes you wonder y is it jus him and his wife and one employee. To be honest I will never visit again nor do I recommend this place. Also the owner is taking down bad reviews on the place so there is only good reviews on the place so ppl can visit. The food is ok nothing spectacular. I contacted the BBB and the state again these ppl. They should not be treating people like this. I will keep writing a bad review on this place because I know when the owner sees this he or she will take it down. So I’ll have to write it over again.

Was there for lunch this morning. The owner is a complete jerk. Berated the young waitress in front of customers for not cleaning a table the way he wanted it done. A customer told him it was rude and should have been handled in private. This half of a man kicked the lady out of the diner. When confronted about his actions by other customers he ran into the back room like a coward. Assuming his poor little feelings were hurt and was nervous when it wasn't a woman he was face to face with. My party walked out and cancelled our order. Everyone else in the place walked out as well.The food here is only sub-par at best but is acceptable in a pinch but we will never return and have let everyone know that we have spoken with since this happened the type of person this guy really is. With a bit of luck the poor girl that was working walked out shortly thereafter and doesn't look back. No one needs to be treated that way. You can do so much better than that place.

The food was okay. Pretty basic, but the waiter was rude and kept making us feel unwelcome. For example, while we were ordering breakfast, he asked us how we would like our toast. Then, when we asked a clarifying question about what information he wanted, he responded in an annoyed way, saying, “well, we have toast ?” and then proceeded to answer the question we had asked. Then, he gave us our check after we had just started eating. He did the same thing for the table next to us, and he had to correct the check because they wanted dessert and he gave them the check WAY too early. Do not recommend. Go somewhere else.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere for a small town diner. The owners are awesome!And they not only have gluten free selections, they totally understand cross contamination!! Having Celiac Disease, this little gem is a very safe place for me to eat at without worry and 2nd guessing! Thank you!! ?
