What Aleta Jary likes about Ma Pa's Diner:
Breakfast before shopping maybe spend time with college athlete. Diner decorated with unique Halloween characters local history, lots to look at. Very attentive waitress, I had French toast, bacon piping hot cocoa, they shared a big bowl of breakfast special juice. View all feedback. What Chris Child doesn't like about Ma Pa's Diner:
Wonderful food. I appreciate having a good restaurant in this town. Prepare to wait. IDK if it's a kitchen issue or what but it has progressively became longer and longer waits after getting an order placed. I am friends with the owner and enjoy the place but to be honest things need to pick up a bit. View all feedback.
