This place is amazing!!! I didn't know corn chowder could taste so good. Very flavorful meals. It must have been less than 10 minutes that they had my food out. I watched the same expedient service happen with other folks' meals, and during a dinner rush! Friendly and attentive waitresses. I had a good feeling about this place when I googled it, and was right. Do yourself a favor and please eat here. You won't be disappointed. Wish I lived closer cause this would be my new favorite dining joint.

This place feels very local blue collar diner as opposed to a tourists stop. This is great homey food, not gourmet stuff. We had a table of 8, the waitress took our order without writing anything down and got it all right. Nothing fancy here, just great people going by their business, serving good food with great service.

We were blown away by this place. Pleasant, really clean environment, nice and fast service, excellent food. The soup of the day was great and even if it doesn't stand out in the photo, the bun was fresh, warm, fluffy in combination with the top soup. My husband didn't want to eat it at first, but after I tasted it, he ate it all. The burrito didn't look like much, but the taste was amazing, yum. A steak beautiful to the eye and to the taste. I definitely recommend stopping here.Our visit here on March 15, 2024.
