If I could rate lower than one star I would…. We waited about 15 minutes just to be spoken to to get a drink, when we finally got to order food, we waited over 40 minutes with no communication and still no food, we walked out and will never be back

I give this a 2 the food was large portions I will give it that. I was very hungry which is probably why I actually ate some of the food. The fries were a grayish black.I tend to wonder If they used motor oil in their deep fryer. The fries tasted just awful. The sandwich was edible. I ordered a diet soda and they brought me a glass and a can which I found very odd. When the lady at the table next to us was asked how everything was she replied the meatballs were overcooked. Then she was demonstrating by trying to stab it with her fork. Then to top it off when we got our very expensive check for ill prepared diner food I placed my debit card on the check and my daughter heard the waitress whisper to her colleague I've never seen anyone do that before. Lesson learned next time just go to McDonald's at least they know how to change their fry grease.

I don't think they change the cooking oil. I've never in my life had dark brown/black french fries. The food was just edible. I wouldn't eat here again. She also was shocked that we handed her a debit card to pay for our $60 bill.

First time eating here recently and it was absolutely amazing. Ordered for 3 people (including a kids meal) and it came to a very reasonable price, the portions were much more than expected as well, especially for the kid's meal. We'll definitely be eating here again.

Slow. Loud, and the salad bar is always limp lettuce that they bring out from the day before. Ordered mushroom Swiss burger, got no mushrooms. Ordered scampi, got only 1/2 of the ingredients listed on the menu.

Very nice people. Very crappy food. Meatloaf was burnt on the outside and cold and mealy on the inside.... tasted like it had been in a fridge for a week than reheated on a flat top- worst I've ever eaten. The broccoli was mush- obviously out of the freezer- over cooked in boiling water till it was pale, mushy and colorless. Mashed potatoes were very good. Wife's chicken Parmesan was way over cooked and also roasted like old leftovers. I really wanted to like this place. I will try their breakfast.

Typical diner food. Unfortunately the tables were a mess. I ended up cleaning ours. Literally food and trash from the previous guests on the table they sat us

The service was very good, the food served timely and hot and the prices reasonable. The atmosphere is definitely family oriented, relaxed, comfortable. Our server was a lot of fun, making the whole experience top notch. Highly recommend Farmers Benedict and the SW omelette. We’ll be back for sure!

We were in the area while on a family camping trip and decided to stop by for breakfast. Unfortunately, there is no outdoor seating, as we also had our pets with us. They were more than happy to accommodate us by putting our orders to go so we could eat in the vehicle on our travels. We were pleased with the quality of the food but we did have to go back to get utensils and drinks we had also ordered. The visit was on a weekend so I do understand they were probably too busy to remember. We would like to try this place again from the inside someday on a weekday. ?

Went as a big group and was thoroughly impressed. Food did not take long to come pit, portions were great and the food was delicious. I got stuck dealing with my 4 year old through a portion of dinner and the waitress never hesitated to ask if I wanted my plate warmed up. In my 9 years of motherhood I've NEVER had a restaurant understand kids enough to offer mom a warm up. 1000% will come back when I'm back in town!
