I got friendly service, however the food was served warm, not hot, and the bacon was dry and looked like it was precooked the night before and then reheated. There is nothing to be said for the decor either, unless you love hand prints from the seventies still stuck to the wall. It looks like they never clean!!

There really is nothing better than those out of the way, greasy spoon places. The food was great and the service was great also. This restaurant is terribly dirty. I totally love the retro vibe, but the sun shining on the 1960's wood paneling showed nothing but disgusting dirt and grime. Found an ant crawling on our table. Coffee was delicious until an insect somehow landed in it. Thankfully the server deducted that from by bill. The orange juice tasted like a powder add water kind of thing. I understand the costs of inflation, but still found this place to be a bit too pricy. Happy I tried it, but won't return. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 1

The breakfasts are simple but perfectly executed and all the lunch items are varied and delicious!

Our frist time there was exactly how I pictured it based on the reviews I read,it was exactly what I was looking for! I love the décor and small town diner feel. Reminded me of childhood days growing up in small town New Brunswick. Very nice staff and everyone is friendly.
