Family, guy next door atmosphere. You feel like you’ve known Jake, the owner and grill man, your whole life. Excellent food made to order. Excellent and friendly service. Very human experience in a world full of corporate chain disasters. CASH ONLY or you can order online with a card. A little expensive, but you’re paying for quality and supporting small and local business.Parking: It’s on Main Street, so you can either pay for on street parking or you can park farther and walk.

Great food, amazing staff, one of the only places left with great food and affordable prices. Breakfast and lunch anytime I'm downtown and have the time I stop in. The staff are very personable and good at what they do.Kid-friendliness: Staff are very nice and courteous

Great service, but the food could use a little work. Had the Reuben. The meat was heat up, but not cooked. The sauerkraut came from a bag and not homemade. Overall, not too much flavor. Prices are reasonable.

Wow, this is so disappointing. The burgers taste like the are cheap frozen patties. It was like biting into a cardboard slab. For a business that is cash only and has been around for a pretty long time, it shore has gone downhill. Come on, Jake, do better. Use quality meat, and remember why you opened this business. If you find your love for this job again, I'll come back and try it again. But as far as it goes for now.Goodbye.

Amazing little American Grill. The best breakfast all day menu along with grinders and lunch specials. Great prices, portions, and patrons. Easy to find parking in area.
Could not even get in to try the food! Overweight chef and cranky waitress refused to give me change for the meter! Even when I told them I was trying to park to eat in their restaurant! Overweight chef then tells me" no change it says it on the door" ! Learn how to run a business! Went to Crepes Tea house...was delicious and friendly!

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this place deserves some transparency in the reviews. It’s cash only, but prices are low. Atmosphere is mostly as expected for a low cost diner. The food was very greasy, and just felt cheap.Info Wars on the TV, decide wether or not that’s for you.
