We've been coming here for yrs especially on Fridays we switch between the ayce fish dinners to the he-man breakfast, and the girls that are waitresses are always cheerful and delightful, the food is always delicious and reasonable priced its a local favorite and I also recommend the fried mushrooms, you won't be disappointed sincerely The Puchalski's
I was disappointed because I drove across town because it states this restaurant is open 24 hours 7 days a week. I got there and the counter person told me it was carry out only. It was disappointing that we drove there just to be told we couldn't dine in. We just left and don't plan to come back. :(

Fries are crispy, hot, and plentiful, and meals like chicken strips are crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Burgers are also loved by diners. While the place could use some cleaning, with condiments and floors needing attention, overall, guests enjoy their meals and the welcoming environment. It is a good spot to try if you haven't been in a while.
