We then talked to the waitress and she was ill with her eyes. I couldn't finish my meal and we left. They only accepted the French toast from the bill, no excuses from the owner was my bill. $17. Watch this dirty place... please share my story.

All the waitresses were busy talking loudly they couldn?t even refill coffee or bring us our check and we weren?t the only ones. There was barely anyone in the restaurant and now I see why. Will never go back.

The woman at the register was quite short, but unfortunately, she was incredibly rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. She showed no manners or courtesy and didn’t use any basic niceties like "please" or "thank you." Instead, she just held out her hand without explaining what she wanted, leaving me confused. It's a shame because this place used to be so much better in the past.

Our waitress was exceptionally kind and considerate, even taking the time to ask if we wanted to close the shade to avoid the sun in our eyes. I ordered the pork chops, which were a bit dry, and I wish they served applesauce with it; however, everything else was delicious! One of my guests had the fried chicken, which was served hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The sides were perfectly cooked—neither undercooked nor overcooked—and the beans and broccoli retained their crispness. The mashed potatoes were also great. Overall, it’s a lovely place to dine. I previously visited Gardenview, which is related to this restaurant, but their menus are completely different. We’ll definitely return to both. It’s wonderful to have a local restaurant like this, especially when many others are struggling. My only complaint would be that the booths need some attention. Both of us found that we sank uncomfortably into our seats, which were worn and had multiple taped-over spots, making the experience less enjoyable. On a positive note, I had the 'white strawberry cake' for dessert, which was beautifully plated with fresh cream and absolutely delicious! We will certainly be back.

The waitresses were so engaged in loud conversations that they couldn't even refill our coffee or bring us our check, and we weren't the only ones experiencing this. The restaurant was nearly empty, and now I understand why. I won’t be returning.
