Great price. Friendly service. Skip the pork roll. Food was just ok. The ventilation system is awful, smoke and grease filled restaurant from the kitchen so plan your day accordingly and be prepared to stink when you leave

Fast service, reasonable prices. Tried the “mess” w scrapple - toasted bits were the best. Slightly underseasoned but the hot sauce came in handy. No wait on a Sunday morning.

Dear reader,
I have meant to visit this restaurant for years. I finally found myself with a Saturday to go and fit their hours. And I was so incredibly excited to try this diner.
However, they were not excited for me to be there.
Let's start with the good stuff. I ordered the mess and an order of their grilled coffee cake. It was a huge serving for the price. Tasted amazing. Pile of eggs and potatoes and veggies. The grilled coffee cake was as great as I hoped for it to be, crunchy and savory and sweet. If it's just about the food, i'm going back every time.
However, now we get to the bad part. I came in at 10am, it appeared to be as their breakfast rush was wrapping up. Waitress were running. HARD and FAST. Nobody was slacking. So I had a lot of grace when I took my seat at the main bar and waited to be served.
And I tried to flag someone down.
And I tried again.
And a third time. And after 15 minutes, with a loud baby on my hip and a giant yellow hat, someone noticed me. They took my order, and I waited about 20 minutes for my food.
In that time I saw another couple come in and sit down the line, get immediately addressed, and served their coffee before mine. I was again, forgotten and had to flag someone down for my coffee.
Even when going to leave and pay, the lady working the register ran from the register to do something else, came back 5 minutes later, and then I could pay.
It just felt like there was 25-30 minutes added to my time here by being forgotten. The restaurant itself while keeping its rustic look, is worse for wear. Many light bulbs are out. Cobwebs. Just...doesn't feel clean or well kept.
So maybe on a different day. With more staff. With a better time, it would have been better. But this just wasn't an experience i want to repeat in an area with so many strong diners to pick.

If in the area you need to stop here. Great little place to get breakfast. The staff knows the regulars by name. There are reasons this place as stood the test of time.
