First visit and was not let down. Service was a bit chaotic, but caused no issues. Food was fantastic, one of the better country fried steaks I've had. Definitely recommend!

The food was great.The server was fantastic.Meals ranged from $9-$15Everything was fresh and delicious. Great variety - with classic diner meals to modern favorites. Lots of options - including vegetarian meals and Impossible burgers.You will leave satisfied. I must have heard "that burger was really good" and "I haven't had a burger that good - since - I don't remember when..." a half a dozen times on the way home 🤣

The wait-staff were great: kind, helpful, and personable. The food tasted very good and the portions were huge. It wasn't very busy at 7:15 on a Monday morning, but with as amazing as everything was, it should have been!

Delicious homemade breakfast! They did a decent job this morning 9-13-21. Upon arriving they seated us in a small booth. Half of our party needed to be done in an hour or so. Had a flight to catch. We got a little nervous when 30 minutes after being seated we hadn't had our coffee out yet. Only two sets of silverware for 8 people. They were able to get the food out in time for everyone to eat! We were all happy. They kinda messed up with adding gratuity of 18%, because they would have gotten a larger tip otherwise. My father in law paid the check 130.00 and I proceeded to buy 34.00 in additional pastrys. If they would have waited the gratuity would have been much more. I would recommend the place!
