This past Friday, my family purchased 3 fish fry and a garbage plate. When my family member came to pick up the food, the cashier had the audacity to ask for a tip. Why would we give you a tip when we came to pick up our own food? The fries were terrible. I don't know what the heck they're doing, but those aren't the fries I'm used to. The fish breading was like somebody had placed a rubber glove over it, and I peeled it off in one piece off the fish. The fish itself was dry. The coleslaw tasted absolutely terrible. This is not the food that I have been eating for many years at Dave's Diner. I don't know what the heck is going on over there. The garbage plate was good.

Clean, friendly service, great prices, good grub.
My over easy eggs was under cooked. The steak I ordered medium rare, it was well done. I ordered two muffins to go, I am a baker, these muffins should have been thrown out weeks ago. I paid $8.40 for them to be thrown in the trash.

Very good food. My gf and I just started going here. It's our 2nd time. The breakfast is amazing. And very good priced. $12 for a 2 eggs, meat, hasbrowns or home fries and toast. Can't beat that. Best prices in the area. Can deff bring the family there and not empty the pocket like other diners in the area.
Girlfriend is very picky about her food especially her eggs. They've come out perfect over medium eggs both times. Great staff, service is great and very friendly people. Even the cook and dishwasher always have a smile on their faces and actually pay attention to the customers.
9/10/24 UPDATE. Lunch did not disappoint either. Gf got a Rachel (Turkey and Cole Slaw Ruben...by special request) (also at no additional cost and was able to change the rye bread to italian) amazing. And for $11.33 served with a pretty big serving of fries. I got a 1/3lb Daves Burger also amazing. $11.00. I added bacon and cheese for a $13.95 total. With sodas my bill was just under $33. Very affordable for 2 people to eat. Will deff keep coming back.

Ate a late breakfast here on the way to vacation. Service was great, food was excellent. Was so good, stopped on the way home from vacation two weeks later and had an early dinner. Didn't get a chance to try the ice cream.

Food was very greasy and bland. Use to be my kids favorite spot. Sad to see it being up for sale also.

What a great visit! My daughter and I went for an early bday breakfast and the service was fantastic and so was the food!
We visited again this past Sunday and sadly, the food has plummeted in quality. Greasy, flavorless and very very disappointing. The waitress was very sweet and super understanding. Sadly, we won't be visiting for a family breakfast there again as my daughter and husband didn't feel well after the meal.

We visited the ice cream stand. There were not too many favors of hard serve flavors available compared to other ice cream shops. The girl who served us was nice. They did give oversized portions as advertised, but personally I thought there was just too much ice cream even though I ordered the baby cone.
