This is about as close to average diner food as you can get. The service was a bit slow, but the server was very pleasant. Breakfast for two was less than $20, so excellent value. Several other diners were engaged in loud, coarse conversation which detracts from the experience.

I love it here. There's a grandma running the front of house, a grandpa back in the kitchen, and because school was off that day, a grandson was helping grandma run food. Everyone was super sweet (although the little kid was pretty shy), everything is super affordable (feels like the prices haven't changed in years), and best of all, super tasty. The place feels lived in. Really comfortable booths, classic swivel stools by the counter (some were out of service), and the decor also hasn't changed in years...maybe decades. It felt like we were the only people in the place that Grandma didn't know, and the only people that didn't know the menu by heart. She was kind enough to bring us a couple menus along with water and coffee, and let us know the specials. We opted for the fish fry dinner (comes with fries, slaw, bread), a chicken patty, eggs and hash, and a Greek salad. Everything was great. The salad and the dinner both came with actual fresh baked bread and butter, the chicken patty was basically a giant chicken finger on a bun that my girls loved, the eggs and hash breakfast was classic and perfect, and the Greek salad was excellent. Everything was well-seasoned, well-cooked, and came out quick. We were looking for a classic diner not too far off the Thruway, so we wouldn't have to go too far out of our way. This place is EXACTLY that, and I love it so much that we'll probably go out of our way to come back.

This place is and always will be one of the best places to eat. The owners are amazing and this is one of those places you never have to worry about leaving hungry. Do yourself a favor and order half a fretta. The absolute best thing you will ever put in your mouth. Even though I live in Virginia now, whenever I come back into town this is where I eat and I don't hesitate.
