The breakfast BLT melt is perfect!

The waitress is very pleasant and so was the other staff member from the kitchen. My son had a burger with egg and bacon on it and I had a burger with mushrooms and swiss cheese on it and we both had sweet potato fries and coffee. The bun was not bulky and very light and tasty. This made the hamburger very enjoyable as I do not like a lot of bread. They are closed on Mondays and the rest of the week they're open 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. the waitress told me that on Fridays they do have fish fry. My wife had the BLT, and she said it was good. There was a young man waiting tables on 1/3/24 & he was pleasant & did a good job.

I really liked this place. I’m a guy that’s a snob when it comes to home fries. These were perfect. Not out of a bag but home made. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Eggs were perfect. I recommend the sausage patty if you go here. The service was great. They knew the regulars by name and the customers were cracking jokes. Seems like everybody knows everybody. I love small businesses like this. I felt like I was having dinner at my grandmas house with all my uncles. I will be a regular from now on. I get out of work on third shift and always too tired to cook when I go home so this is my new place. I have always been a hot breakfast guy. GREAT FOOD!

I’ve gone to this diner 20+ times and I’ve have never had a bad experience until today. The waitress came over immediately and gave us our menu and took our drink order. 2 tables came in behind us and she did the same for them. Nothing out of the ordinary. Until they had their drinks before we did, then they ordered their food before we got our drinks. Then the table that came in about 3 minutes after we did had gotten their food before we even had our drinks. We waited 30 minutes and still never received our drinks, a water and chocolate milk… very disappointing. We had even made eye contact with the waitress multiple times and never even came over to apologize or give us the very simple drinks we order. We will return to give it one more try, maybe today was a one off.

We visit frequently, but for some reason the food today, 7/9/23, was by far the best I’ve ever had. I’m not sure what the owner changed but the food went from a 9/10 to an 11/10 seemingly overnight. Will definitely visit many more times

I got a cheese omelete home fries and toast for brunch and my toast was cold and home fries were horrible and not enough seasoning on them and weren't hot. Iced tea wasn't that good either.
