Visiting this restaurant offers a mix of experiences, with some customers raving about their delicious meals, friendly service, and charming atmosphere, while others found issues with service or the quality of food. From burnt hashbrowns to well-done omelettes, the menu seems to have its hits and misses. The prices are generally reasonable, with some meals falling in the $1–$20 range per person. The historical decor adds a nice touch, and even during busy times, the staff manage to keep up with the demand. Overall, opinions on this eatery vary widely, with some patrons loving it and others finding it lackluster. It's worth a try if you find yourself in the area, but be prepared for a mixed bag of reviews.
