“I have been here on 6 separate occasions, but I only go for breakfast.I always get the chicken fried steak with gravy, eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes with a tequila sunrise depending on the day or just coffee. I have never had a bad version of it made (hot fresh, good taste, portion was generous, drinks are good.) Except for one time and that was cleared up.You have to go a few times to understand the best hours to go. Ik people will say you shouldn't have to but just like anything there are just better times go and that is life lol. My go to time is real early morning (opening) or mid afternoon on my days off.I see people complaining about staff, being slow and busy, and food temps. I know they try to be consistent in a inconsistent business, so accidents happen and mistakes do to, they are only humans.. but I could see they were busy... I knew this before going tho, so I calmly told her don't rush when you get to it is fine but I need this corrected and a refill. She said thank you and it only took her 8 minutes. If you are respectful you will get the service you want.Plenty of parking even if they are busy, free parking, convenient location, affordable.. its a decent long time diner that had a bar and good malts/shakes.“

“Finding myself in the area of LJ’s, I decided to grab a quick bite. Frankly, I didn’t have high hopes; I just wanted something quick and easy. They left me pleasantly surprised and with not just the food. The service was pleasant and efficient. Abby smiled and made sure my order was accurate and that I had everything I needed. Her co-workers, Nathan and Maddie, also knocked it out of the park making amazing deluxe pork tenderloin sandwich and onion rings. Both were hot and crispy. After having a not so great day, the friendly service and delicious and quick meal were an excellent way to end the day!!“

“Go there! Today! And then go back as often as you can!Locally owned and operated small business. Seating for maybe 40? Combination of booths, tables, bar. Plenty of parking out front. Handicap accessibility.We had the Douglas special and chicken fried steak and a cinnamon roll. Best of the best on all. Eggs prepared as ordered, crispy hashbrowns as requested, beverages refilled often. Owner stopped by tables a couple of times to check in.Clean space. Nice menu selections. Fair pricing. Our breakfast total was $35 and we tipped generously. There was enough food in the 2 orders for 4 meals.Check them out! You will be happy you did!“
