Average breakfast place. The food is what I could make at home. The only reason you come here is if you're too lazy to cook. The ambiance is of an old run down diner that's only still open because it's in a small town. The service is okay. Staff is decently friendly. This entire establishment is just okay. I recommend if you're too lazy to cook mediocre breakfast yourself.

Walked in and the waitress was great. Friendly greeting and said sit where we wanted. She came over after delivering food to someone else and got our drink orders and dropped off menus (pretty standard to this point). She was great, friendly and took care of us without smothering. Got a good recommendation from her (omelette w/ chorizo) Plate was full, she kept the coffee topped off. Good experience overall. The only 'knock' I'd throw would be to the ambiance. I know the look of the 'fifties' diner was the try but it fell a little flat and just looks tired. That being said, not going there to eat the ambience, just good breakfast fare.

I had a patty melt and both the fried onions and the sourdough bread enveloping all the goodness was done to perfection!! Staff was very polite and professional, overall 5* oh yeah and they do breakfast all day!!! So give them a try, supporting local business strong.

When I went on Hot Rod Diner website it showed their menu prices. They were not even close to the price they actually charged. An example is their fish and chips that were listed at $7.49 and was $14.99. They need to quit advertising erroneous prices.

Came into town to visit family for the week and we came here on a Friday morning and it was a great dining experience. Customer service, waiting and food was all great. We were waited on by Jackie who was an exceptional, polite and kind waitress. She checked on us constantly and had everything in our order correct. We also wanted to give a two thumbs up to the cook because our food was fabulous and tasty! The environment was calm, moderately noisy which was great for the family setting. We truly loved it here and it was great value for the quality and amount of food that was served. Thank you so much for the hospitality and great dining experience, can't wait to come back and eat here again!

Avocado, bacon, burger was very good. The service was excellent. We live outside of town, but will patronize this establishment. Next time we drive through.
I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich. I was really disappointed with the two slices of pastrami on the large sandwich bun with chopped lettuce, tomato, cheese with a few slivers of onion.I do not believe any business should be affiliated in politics during business hours. Especially when vulgar language can be seen read in public by minors.
