Long-standing neighborhood favorite is popular for it's warm, friendly service, homemade breads, classic breakfasts and delicious lunches. Try the liver sausage (braunschweiger) sandwich!

The atmosphere was fantastic. The wait staff was great, but the food wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be, might even say overrated.

Great food. All bread and pies are made here. Pies are fantastic! Service is fast and friendly. And the size of the cinnamon roll could feed 2 or 3

This used to be one of the best places in town for home cooked food from scratch. I don’t know why but they now add some kind of mush or filler to their chicken fried steak, burgers, meatloaf etc. They must be having financial problems because people are now bringing in their own hot sauce so they don’t get it watered down, they offer you one jelly etc. It’s not a very welcoming feeling when you have to decide what flavor jelly you want when you place your order because you’re only getting one packet. Haha(but it’s true) If that’s the case, compromising the quality of your food and reputation that took decades to build isn’t the answer. This is, or was, the last place in town to get a home cooked meal. I hope they figure it out.

Great food great atmosphere, great cooks and locally owned. There's a reason why they have been there since the 60s. Kelli, Will and the crew work hard to get comfort food at a high standard. Wish they were open at night for dinner

Very pleasant staff and fast service. Reasonable prices as well. Place is a little dated but everything else makes up for it.
