My friends and I showed up for breakfast on Saturday morning. The staff was very accommodating for our party of five. The food was very tasty and plentiful and the coffee kept coming, just what I needed. They had very good turkey sausage. I recommend parking across the street in the multi-story

Delicious food! Good service. My only issue is that the water doesn’t heat up in the bathroom, which leads me to worry about the hygiene of employees. Water should come out close to instantly in restaraunts/kitchen Could someone take a look at it?

My wife found this place years ago and it's one of our favorite small diners! The food is beyond excellent, whether it be breakfast plates, sandwiches, or some comfort food dinners! Their rotating pies and cakes make meal decisions difficult because you always want to add a slice for dessert! It's small, but not compact or crowded. It's great for kids and their service is always excellent- they really seem to enjoy their jobs and talking with people!

My favorite local diner. As soon as you walk in you feel like you're at home. The staff is wonderful and friendly. The food is amazing. My favorite is the turkey dinner which is so juicy. The decor is fun. Definitely recommend!

If I could rate this place 0, I would. First of all when you're seated be sure to look up! The fans have a large build up of filth. I'm certain it's been consumed by an unsuspecting customer or two.We've eaten here many times in the past and have never had a bad experience until today.My husband ordered fried eggs well done that came out very soft. The waitress took the eggs back. It was at least 15 minutes in addition to the 40 minutes we had to wait initially to be served. We were told there were alot of carry out orders.The eggs were unacceptable again. It appeared that the cook threw the same eggs back on the griddle. They were very hard fried with a plastic appearance.We told the waitress we were not paying for them.Instead of calling a manager, which is normally protocol she blew up. She took the order off the bill and slammed the bill on the table. Then in a very loud voice said have a nice day, I am!If that's not bad enough, she went back behind the counter to make fun of us in an audible tone in front of her coworkers, and the rest of the restaurant.I honestly can't remember having such horrible experience with wait staff anywhere.What's really terrible is that it appears from other reviews management condones this type of customer service.

Absolutely loved this place. Stacy our waitress was witty, hilarious and super helpful and attentive to our needs and making our first time wonderful. She introduced us to their sweet potato fries and homemade honey mustard which was to die for. Then put us on to the best desserts. Everyone that greeted us was friendly and kind. We will be going back here again and again!
