Would have been perfect but it was really cold. But then, I'm old & it happens. It was clean & fast & the peeps were really fabulous. The food was GREAT!

I wish this was closer to us. I've had breakfast and lunch there, both have been great. The spicy burger was perfect and the fries hot a crisp. The club was really good as well.Would eat here again for sure.

The perfect locally-owned diner experience which is hard to find nowadays, very friendly staff and owners too. I made it in right before they switched to lunch at 1030, and I ordered the Meat Lovers bowl with a side of biscuits and gravy.Watched the cook make my breakfast, she was very quick and put together everything effortlessly. The fried potatoes were crispy, the various meat was amazing, the cheese on top had a melty pull to it. Eat the massive bowl in minutes, and then devoured the biscuits and gravy. No complaints there either, very good.There's a reason the parking lot is full anytime of day, it's simply one of the last great diners in the area. Before I left they were smashing patties on the griddle for lunch and it smelled amazing, I can't wait to come back and try lunch!Parking: A few dozen spots and they keep it moving, full midday before lunch rush.Wheelchair accessibility: Depending if you can park up front, just a small curb and no steps into the doorway. No steps inside.

Burger and fries were good. The only draw back is it's very loud in the restaurant. Voices really carry.
