I was sitting at the same table that was treated very rudely. Staff member very disrespectful, interrupting an elderly lady who stopped at our table for a minute,and as she was about to leave the server rudely told us to take the conversation outside because they wanted to go home. We all sat there in shock for a minute and then told her that was rude, she said “you’re the ones who are rude coming in before closing time.” I did not see a sign with a closing time and the place was packed when we arrived. So we sat down, our server took her time taking our orders instead of informing us it was almost closing time, waited until we paid then told us to get out, they wanted to go home. I don’t know if these servers are related to the owners that they can act this way, and if they are, that’s even worse. Who runs a business like that! Never in my life have I ever witnessed such a thing from any business. I’m not that desperate for a burger or an omelette. There’s plenty of other places to eat.

Rude wait staff. The server today told my family of 6 and 6 other couples to take our conversations outside. Stated we were rude for coming in close to closing and kept them over an hour. We came in at 11:30 and nobody said they were closing soon. It took 30-40 minutes to get our food but we did not complain as they were busy. We go often and we are generous tippers . We told the server we just got our food 15 minutes ago and just paid and she said good, then get out. One of the patrons said she would not be back and she said good. I have never in my life been treated so rudely as a person let alone customer. It’s such a shame because the food is good and we always buy their pies for the holidays. I guess we will be patronizing another place who appreciates our business.

This is a hidden gem! Great quality ingredients. I had the omelet which was full of vegetables and sausage. Plus really good potatoes. All for $9.50. Throw in Miss Pamela's service and personality win win.

A small local breakfast/lunch restaurant that has amazing workers. Everyone is always super friendly and kind. Food isn't overpriced and is really good. For anyone close to Saxonburg, it's really worth a try!

Honestly, we traveled out of our way to try breakfast here. We want to support small business. However, showed up at 1040am to a closed sign and no hours posted to even try again. I understand short staffing, but post your hours!

Awesome little hometown diner! We stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed every bite. The coffee was hot and food was flavorful. The servers were extremely vigilant, even with the people who aren't regulars!

Got a waffle and sausage, hamburger and home fries. Everything was good and service was great. Potatoes were really good. We will go back.
