I ordered chicken wings' I asked her if I will get the whole wing or parts, she said the whole wing, Wrong that didn't happen, when she brought our food, it was all backwards on our plates, Wife had my fries I had her side, Plus the chicken on one order was covered in BBQ sauce, we both told her we wanted it on the side, Mine was my Wife's was not. She was not pleased' She wouldn't say nothing about it. I am not that she took my plate and brought it back correct. I ordered the sweat chili sauce with mine and BBQ on the side. That was ok' Chilly sauce was horrible, Way over spicey' Like Clove or something I couldn't tell. could not stand it, she was not vary friendly and seemed to me that this girl had no business being a server. Vary young not talkative.

stopped in while on a drive to try something new based off of the reviews. I got the blow torch burger which was described to have fried jalepeno. Turns out those fried jalepenos were actually just store bought and not fried at all. when i asked about it she said it’s because their menu was “ old “ lol. I asked if they offered side salads as an option and the server said yes. Turns out my “side salad “ was legit a tiny bowl of lettuce with 2 cucumbers on it which was not said. don’t even like cucumber so i paid THREE extra dollars for a bowl of lettuce. Burger was extremely dry and i didn’t eat more than half because it was making me feel sick. The server ,although sweet, was incredibly awkward making the experience really unpleasant . No music playing at all just a dead silent room. Would never ever go again :)

Nice little small town breakfast spot. Was in Pontiac for the morning and this came up on Google Maps. Food was good, service was great, and prices were fair.

Smaller portions but price does reflect this so it's very affordable and you don't feel like exploding after eating your whole plate and there's some room for desert. Quick service and super cute inside. Not far from the historic downtown and loved the theme. Good food and great selections.

Great little restaurant! Great service! The menu had a wide variety of choices. Edinger’s Filling Station is super cute. We had the Cuban Sandwich and fries. Everything was delicious! I will plan to eat there again the next time I’m in the area.

Went for breakfast and got a selection of items. All were OK, but nothing more than OK. The quality wasn't the best and everything was warm not hot. They were advertising for staff but the place wasn't busy. Only 3 tables occupied so there were more staff than customers.

When we arrived there was a notice on the door advertising for staff, so maybe that should have been an indication of what was to come. The server was friendly but slow, so when the food arrived it was cold. Apart from being cold the food was nothing more than OK. For the prices the quality was poor and the portions were small.

Went for breakfast as I had read good reviews. There's a bit of street parking..otherwise, there's a local supermarket across the street which I used. This was TOTALLY the LOCAL place in the morning. Had one of the breakfast specials with eggs bacon, potatoes and toast. GOOD Prices for what you got. The even BETTER part was just listening to the conversations of the local townfolk...it was so FUN!! I would definitely re-visit any time I'm in Pontiac.. there's no doubt. When I was done with breakfast...I needed gas for my trip back.... so that local supermarket had a better price for gas in their sration than the other stations by the interstate ...so, I patronized their station...nice deal. OVERALL...fun stops with the BEST of small town goodness.

Very good menu with great home cooked food at reasonable prices. Great friendly service. The nachos were delicious. Good bustling atmosphere.

I eat here often when I come to downtown Pontiac. They have a great selection of classic diner food such as burgers and sandwiches. I usually go for the specials. The interior of the restaurant follows the Route 66 theme like many other places in town.

I had not been here in a couple years and the quality and quanity has gone down. I would have gave the breakfast before a 5 star. Now, just a mediocre 3. Service was great.
