Food was good. Good size portions. Service was ok. Had to wait for the waitress to finish socializing with other customers to get waited on after giving our drink order. That took at least 10 minutes and it wasn't busy. (When I say socializing I mean it had nothing to do with ordering food or anything else associated with the job. ) not trying to be ugly...just stating the facts.

The minute the server came to the table, I asked for the drinks and politely asked if I could have plastic utensils and immediately she said...was the reason? We don't have any is only for take out ?I said to her that everytime I come in , I ask for plastic utensils and there has never been a problem. And as she walked away with a not very nice attitude, she whispered something to the lady behind the counter. She then comes to my table sets the plasticwear on the table and walks away. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated equally and with respect, we are not eating here for free. She really ruined my day.NOTE: is still a great place to dine. Not sure why the treatment by this specific lady03/19/24

Was super excited to try a very traditional Diner. With that said the staff was super nice to their common customers but gave horrible service to an "out of town guy" order wasn't right the cream chip beef was a really weird consistency the scrapple was disgusting and the waitress never checked in with me just kept walking by.......The only gem in this place was the other customers they made me feel more welcome then the staffOh and watch your step going in or you'll be on your faceThanks but no thanks never again

The only thing that I can say is that they really need a sign that says please watch or step or step up please the gentleman in the restaurant said that there is a sign if you call being all most to the ground doesn’t count sorry especially for people that don’t live in the area and needless to say I fell and it was like to bad you should have seen the sign the sign was on the step as you walked into the restaurant I would like to know how many people look at the ground while they are walking into an establishment

This place went down hill they can’t even make a eggs, Benedict correctly they can’t use the right meat for it they skimp on the sauce and give no home fries unbelievable. Don’t believe the hype this place is mediocre better restaurants out in Lebanon county example railroad dinner has the best eggs Benedict bye bye mels your doors will be closed up soon✋?✌️

Under cooked eggs and sausage, plus molding jelly, put a damper on our appetite.
