Recently, guests have enjoyed Shrimp Alfredo and Chicken Alfredo, both packed with generous amounts of shrimp and chicken. The restaurant has maintained its quality over the years, serving delicious diner-style food like chicken corn soup, juicy burgers, and omelets for breakfast. The addition of a quaint mercantile store and old-fashioned soda fountain enhances the dining experience. The atmosphere is bright and open, making it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal. Customers have praised the friendly service, especially from servers like Anya, who is attentive and personable. Even if there's a wait, the food is worth it, with many enjoying flavorful dishes like Creamed Dried Beef served over home fries.

When they remodeled I was hoping the food got better also. It did not. Been going here for 20 years of my life, and started taking my kids there. Mediocre food at best.

We stopped by on a busy Sunday, so we didn’t mind the wait. The service provided by Anya was outstanding! She was attentive and personable. Our 3 meals came out just as ordered and we were all pleased with lunch & dessert. Anya offered to take a photo of our group and welcomed us back to see her.

Great Chicken Pot pie and shakes!
