“ What I expected from a classic diner. Food was good and the waitress was friendly. Prices are very affordable. We had dinner this time with the ribeye steak and roast beef. We would go back to try breakfast ”
“ Delicious breakfast and good service. Had the biscuits and gravy and breakfast sampler. All were delicious. Highly suggest this place for breakfast and that you get the fresh squeezed orange juice. Pretty busy and quite a lot of other families and groups eating there at the time. But still got our food fast and got good service. ”
“ Tried this diner for the first time today with my mom and daughter. Our total was right around $37 for three people so it was a little pricier than I would have liked but the food tasted good. I made sure to take a picture of the menu since no one had taken one showing they offer french toast and I was glad to see it as an option. ”
“ Can’t go wrong with a dog and fried onion! Will be back for more. Thanks ”
