Description

A cozy small‑town diner serves hearty, homemade comfort food at wallet‑friendly prices. Generous portions — especially biscuits, fried potatoes and other breakfast staples — and reliable takeout draw regulars and visitors alike. Staff are warm and kid‑friendly, though service speed and bar attention can be inconsistent, and waits occur during busy or understaffed times. The updated yet unpretentious atmosphere makes it a convenient stop for tourists and locals, with free street parking nearby.

I'm saying we spent $10-20 before we left a generous tip. The food is amazing here! My wife and I ate here for my 27th birthday on April 29th, and loved it! The salmon cake sandwich was delicious and my wife loved the chicken salad sandwich. The mashed potatoes are excellent, and everything is very well priced. Hope to come back soon! Donna was a great server too, and very attentive to our needs. Service: Dine in

The brisket sandwich was absolutely amazing. Prices are good. Service was fantastic and very friendly. Everything was clean, nothing special for the atmosphere, but nothing bad either, old school mom and pop diner which I can appreciate. The friends I was with were happy with the burgers as well. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Just to add to my previous review. This restaurant is homemade everything, good portions, and priced perfectly. The blueberry biscuits were the best we have ever had! Ordered takeout and it was ready when they promised, still hot when we got home, big portions and very tasty! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20

We went on a Sunday afternoon. It was dinner time, there was no one in there. I ordered chicken livers, lima beans, mashed potatoes with gravy. He ordered meatloaf,mashed potatoes and gravy, and greens. The waitress took the order. She came back a few minutes later and said they only had one slice of meatloaf left. So he had one hamburger patty and one slice of meatloaf, both with gravy. The waitress brought our food. My livers were way over cooked. She took them back to the kitchen. Well that was the last of the livers. So I got chicken tenders instead. I asked about 2 of the desserts.Guess what! Out of those also. Needless to say, we will not be going back there anytime soon. Give us a year and maybe we will try again.
