You had a lousy health inspection and taped the report 10 feet in the air where people wouldn't notice it on the side of the building.Skirting the letter of the law which states it is to be posted in a conspicuous location (such as the entryway door).Don't hide your failure work harder to clean up your problems instead of just sitting at the end of the counter everyday.One star because health and sanitation are so important.

Food was not great and service was worse. It used to be a great place to stop for a meal,definitely gone down hill.

Food has improved recently and prices are very reasonable. A definite option for an informal breakfast and lunch. Not real fancy like some other diners in the area but a good choice.

Told our waitress that we wanted a BLT and the bacon cooked soft/easy. The BLT came out, and the bacon was practically burnt. Told the waitress who ignored us the rest of our visit except to bring the check. On our way out, I told the host what happened, and all she could say was "alright" several times. Never got an apology or anything. The food was good otherwise. But if there's a mistake with your order, they don't like to hear it whatsoever. They only wanna hear that everything was outstanding. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll go back anytime soon.

This place is a gem. Unlike the overrated shiny place down the street, this one has really great food, excellent service, and it's not overcrowded on weekends. Our favorite are the blueberry pancakes - fantastic.

Cool place due to the stones with fossils from local mountains. Service took a bit of time. Food was good, and I had lunch special for $10, a good deal.

AWFUL SERVICE. Our waitress forgot about us and it took over an hour to receive anything more than coffee and water. We sat and watched the restaurant go from calm, to busy, to calm again all before we got even a coffee refill. I had to get up and ask the hostess where our food was because our waitress was nowhere in sight. On top of this the food was not great. My omelette was over cooked and my toast was burnt. We just wanted a quick place to stop so this would have been fine if the service was better, but it unfortunately was very bad. When the waitress finally did see us she barely apologized for making us be there for nearly 2 hours. Not sure if this is is the restaurant's problem, or just the waitress I had, but I would NOT recommend going here if you were in a rush.

Service was awful, sat there for an entire hour after ordering without our waitress even looking in our direction or refilling any drinks. Saw five entire tables, one of which had ten people splitting a bill four ways, all sit down, order, receive their food, pay, AND LEAVE before we even talked to another person again. Never returning. Ever.
