This was my first time taking the kids out to dinner by myself. Service and food were quick and great as always, but what really blew me away was about 2 hours later when George knocked on the door to my home. I had left my wallet at the restaurant. He took the time to drive to my house and drop it off. I didn't even know I left it behind. What an all around awesome individual! Thank you!!

Its not the best diner food Ive ever had. Some of it can be a little bland and they use a lot of premade things (like no burgers made from freshly ground meat, and potato pancakes that were really just mini hash browns).

Today, I did and stopped here for dinner.The place is bigger than you expect and still has the late 1970's to early 1980's diner decor. It was extremely clean and well lit.The staff was friendly and professional and checked back periodically to make sure everything was fine.I had the chicken noodle soup which was tasty but the noodles were too soggy.For dinner I have the fried clam strips with mashed potatoes. The claims were done nicely and at the perfect temperature. However the mashed potatoes were cold and based on the texture had been sitting around for awhile.You can't beat the price!Would I give this place another try...YES! I'll just stay away from the mashed potatoes!Parking: Parking is literally around the entire building on all sides.
