Description
At this local diner, diners have experienced a mix of highs and lows.

Common complaints include cold, overcooked dishes, lackluster salads, and unappetizing sides.

The salads were just iceberg lettuce from a bag and not very appetizing; she took a few bites while I managed to eat almost half out of hunger. About 40 minutes later, our food finally arrived, but the rolls were still missing. The waitress brought me an empty bottle of 57 sauce. My steak was tough and completely unseasoned, just tasting like plain meat. Hers was charred on the outside and difficult to cut, though it was somehow pink in the middle. Additionally, her gravy had developed a skin from sitting out so long while we waited for the steaks. We reminded the waitress about the rolls and pointed out the empty bottle of 57, which I felt I needed to make my steak edible. She returned with another EMPTY bottle of 57. My loaded baked potato looked unappetizing, and I didn’t even touch it. By the time the rolls finally arrived, we had both lost our appetite. We asked for the check, left most of our food on the table, and ended up spending $80 with only a $6 tip (which felt awkward since I believe in tipping well). We walked out with our food untouched on the table, and I snapped a picture on the way out the door. Overall, it was an incredibly disappointing experience—what a sad situation for everyone involved.
The food was terrible. This place has really declined over the past few years.
Dagwood sandwich for $15 worth every penny. Almost too much to eat in one sitting. Get location when camping at Buck Creek State park.
Food came out cold, yet it was also burnt. It must have been sitting for a while. The chips with the burgers were basic Lay's chips, and the place was a little dirty.
