The food was good, it always is it seems. The service was bad. I sat for almost a half hour before the waitress even said hello to me I never got any refills for coffee or my cold beverage. And not one person asked how my meal was. It really felt like they just wanted me out of there as soon as possible. Very disappointed.

This diner is just impressive. There is a cook outside smoking and grilling meats. The menu is not to big but you can tell each item is highly specialized. I had the chili cheese omelette, the wife had the corned beef hash and my boy had the kids pancakes. Everything is great. Nice and hearty home cooking. Great business run by smart owners. Love this place.

We stopped here when another local breakfast place had a long wait. I'm so glad we went here! It's so cute, the menu is great, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely return!

First time here. Had the look and feel of an old time diner. Plenty of seating and we arrived early but an hour later the place was packed. Ordered the 3 bbq combo which was smoked chicken, tri tip and pork ribs. My wife ordered the half lb burger with all the fixins. Also had a strawberry lemonade which was full of berries and very good. Food came and the burger was massive and messy as it should be. My combo was very good. Only complaint was the ribs were kind of dry and the tri tip was sliced too thick. Also came with beans and cole slaw which were both very good. For dessert we split a bread pudding which was excellent. Our waitress was spot on and gave us great service. On the way iut I bought a T-shirt with a old Ford pickup on it. Shirts are really cool. Overall we really enjoyed everything and will be back as there alot things we'd like to try.

First off, service was great! Very friendly and all smiles. My Denver omlette was delicious. The only thing I have to comment on was the hash browns. Although you get a heaping serving, they were not cooked long enough. Light brown on the outside and not cooked in the middle. I like my hash browns to be crispy, that's just me.

Great kitschy diner atmosphere. Clean and spotless. Food is amazing!!! Have been here 3 times in the last two weeks. Baby back ribs, shakes, muffins, homemade biscuits, cinnamon twists, and croissant sandwich are all superb. The food is fresh and homemade with love and quality. This place is how all restaurants used to be and should still be. Service is always welcoming, friendly and fast. We had Rachelle as our server and she was very helpful, sweet and attentive. She is on top of things and we had a fun chat. Very friendly genuine gal. I hope this place never changes. It's a gem!

The best diner I’ve ever been to. It’s always the ones that are far from me that are great. Great chicken from the pasta dish.

??Like everywhere else, this establishment has become very expensive. But it's still worth the cost for a meal out (occasionally).

My waitress was the bomb! She was experienced and had worked there for decades and was filled with great enthusiasm, pride and menu knowledge. She really made the difference and made up for the sticker shock of the prices I did not expect for a “diner”; then again, going in I didn’t also understand that most everything was made in house.Regardless, the prices are high for a diner, especially when sides are priced and sold a la carte which is contrary to the traditional concept of a “diner”. Knowing that now, I’ll be more prepared next time for $16 burgers and over $20-$25 dinner plates and beef plates $27 - $40 with one side.We still enjoyed the whole experience and will be back to give breakfast a try. I hear it is really tasty.I loved that the owner, in her 90s, still is onsite and makes her rounds to the tables where locals know her personally.Loved the true Americana ?? which is so very rare these days. The potato salad was just like my late mom’s recipe, it brought tears to my eyes….The malt shoppe deserts and shakes looked fantastic!I was thrilled to find a place that served actual corned beef on the Ruben despite the sandwich being very thin, the sauerkraut layer was also scarce but at least it wasn’t over processed & canned corned beef versions.My husband’s steak was quality but could have been cooked better and was a bit dry.Like I said- the service, community energy & potato salad made the difference for this first time patron.Next time I’ll start with a desert so I don’t miss out! ?I’m saddened by the review concerning the service dog discrimination and had I seen it prior to visiting I probably would’ve passed this place up honestly. (Management: please abide by the law and understand that service animals are not expected to eat outside or wait in the car- it’s nice that pets are allowed outside but service animals are not “pets”.)

The people were very nice. However, $18 bucks for a dry, frozen cooked patty melt, with invisible cheese and maybe a table spoon of grilles onions. Complete zero.My hubby's fish and Chips was mostly dough. My mom's Asian chicken salad bland and boring.Will not be returning. The entire $80 meal was notqorrh the time or money.
