Always great service and excellent food! Before I even sat down, I told the waitress that I was having a low blood sugar problem, and needed orange juice. Before I took my coat off, the juice was on my table! What a great server!

Food was good, service not so much. Maybe we caught the waitress on a bad day, we will stop in again because the food was good.

Skip all those franchises and make a short diversion off I90 to dine here. Lovely updated interior and bathrooms. Nice variety on the menu. Many options for gluten free. The gyro omelet was delicious. The skillets were also hearty and filling. Fresh ingredients and lovely presentations.

The food is excellent. I order often for my 9am break when i have time. I wish they were open by 6am.I'm sure they would receive a lot more morning business from Ford Tool since we start at 6:30am.
