Shay's Restaurant is a cozy dive bar and local watering hole that offers excellent diner food. The friendly waitstaff often call customers "sweetie" and serve strong coffee or stronger drinks. The restaurant features a classic American diner setting along with a lounge area, attracting blue collar workers and their spouses. The menu includes omelettes, a Great Dane Burger, biscuits and gravy, a world-famous mashed potato omelette, a BLT, and a turkey bacon croissant with thick pieces of white meat. Vegetarian options are available. The chef, Greg, has been working there for over 40 years and is known for his storytelling.
Recent visitors have enjoyed the classic diner experience, especially praising the French Dip and eggs benedict. Many appreciate the sweet staff and nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of simpler times. Although some noted a faint cigarette smell, it did not ruin their overall experience. Shay's remains a favorite spot for breakfast, with many recommending the omelets and French toast. The friendly environment and good food make it a place to relax and enjoy a hearty meal. The diner continues to be loved for its outstanding omelettes, burgers, prime rib sandwiches, and homey vibe.
