They sponsor home-made baked goodies. Carrotcake, absolutely delicious ?. "No bake chocolate cookies" just like Grandma use to make. Definitely a good place to go back to eat at and strengthen your friendship bond. Kid-friendly. Management is great people. Welcoming.Parking: Right out front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Families were there.

Very nice staff, but the food took a really, really long time and then it was cold. ☹️ An experienced cook would really help! The scrambled eggs were overcooked, the corned beef hash was undercooked,

What kind of diner doesn't know how to make scrambled eggs. A bad one.

We came up from Wilmington to go to the groovy plant ranch, and stopped here for lunch. The food was very good, after we finally had our order taken and received it. We waited over an hour. Was not busy. Only 3 other people here. I asked for ketchup, and the waitress brought out a basically empty bottle. Again, food was good, but service horrible.

Route 229 was a cute little mom and pop diner. We stopped for breakfast and had an omelette and pancakes. The pancakes were HIGE and the omelette was large as well. The ambiance is a mom and pop diner with concrete doors. I overlooked that for the good food at a good price!The waitress was also very friendly, and we were enjoying the conversation as well!

My first visit to the restaurant. I ordered pancakes, and both were the size of a dinner plate. The service was great and food.

I was stopping through the area, saw the place stopped in and I’m glad I did, ordered food to go after I ate, the staff is so nice and friendly with everyone who walks it, service was amazing, she was so nice and honest, very attentive, it was nice to relax and enjoy my meal and not have to ask for things, she was able to anticipate my needs without asking it was great, definitely a shining example of how your experience should be when dining, if I am in the area again I will definitely come back! It truly was refreshing to have the experience.

It was a wonderful country restaurant. Their gumbo was fabulous and you have to get the gut buster breakfast. I highly recommend it. If I lived in the area it would be a regular eating place

Fabulous staff but the menu is limited and not updated online. If you want a burger, this is a great place.
