Pancakes weren't as good as expected. We were looking forward to them but even cutting them was difficult.

I'be beeb coming here several times a month for ~4 years. The steak is never cooked wrong. When I order my bacon crispy, it's always perfect. The soda fountain always has enough syrup. The fries are always crisp and delicious. No other diner in the area is this consistent.

We had a large party when we came to this restaurant. Staff members seemed friendly and the food was pretty good. I read the reviews before coming and most of them gave negative feedback. I had my reservations but overall our experience was pleasant.

This place has good food but recently the prices have gone way up! A cheeseburger and fries were $15.59 and the large fry was 5 bucks alone. That's crazy. Their LG fry has not only increased in price but you don't get anywhere near as much as before. You're better off to cook at home.

Absolutely love this spot! The vibe is homey. The staff is helpful and very nice. The prices are affordable given the increase in prices everywhere. This has become one of my families go to spots.

I AM NEVER going back until I KNOW there is a new owner and manager!A VERY RUDE MANAGER/waitress thoroughly embarrassed me in front of four other male customers because I had the NERVE to ask her for a coffee refill !! With a sneer she said: "WE" DON'T GIVE REFILLS ANYMORE"! I had NO idea that was a new "FAMOUS" policy and the four men just laughed at me because I didn't know better.Folks, I WAS a frequent, loyal customer for almost 20 years and for sure, back when this place was "FANTASTIC BURGERS" *. Three or four breakfasts per week was not unusual for me. Some evenings I would return for dinners too.I think a new owner took over because PRICES went up and up, but the portions got smaller. After 5 or 6 years I thought I would give the place another try and I am SO sorry I did! Sky-high prices, then to be disrespected like that?! I want to add the place had a heavy smell of bug spray and I should have made my order 'to go'.Here's a few "FAMOUS" examples: Coffee $3.49 (NO refills)One hot dog: $6.87Three EGGS: $11.67I'll WAIT until a NEW sign goes up and "she" is gone! I suspect that won't take too long because each time I pass the place has fewer and fewer customers! That's no surprise to me.. * 'NICO' was the owner way back then , but now I suspect he no longer is? NICO, his wife and son did their very best to keep EVERY customer happy! It was always nice to be greeted by name and I always knew the food was going to be GOOD!

Seems like food was pre-prepared. Was served within a few minutes after ordering. Pretty standard fare. price is good.

The breakfast was very good, the cafe has a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable, especially with inflation. Bottom, the food was good!

Food is awesome! They have tacos for under 2$ they are small tacos but it's all good! Delicious sauce that goes with it, I usually stop by here all the time and the people in front are always kind and you get your food pretty fast. The only ick I had when it came to the food being prepared was the cook using his bare hands when touching the meat to put it on the grill! I have no idea where his hands have been and where it's going to be after but if that's a common thing then im sure all the food is being touched by everyone else's food and getting dirty in between, but as long as he's washing his hands 100 times a day between preparing the meal then it should all be good. Regardless food is fire, will definitely be trying it again, but will watch closely where he puts his hands.
