A neighborhood diner delivers reliably delicious comfort food and value: all-day breakfast, standout waffles (funnel-cake–like), crispy hash browns, a generous Sunday buffet and ice cream options. Prices feel fair and portions suit larger meals. Staff are often friendly and helpful, but service can be uneven—occasionally slow or distracted—so plan accordingly. Overall, a satisfying casual spot for families, breakfast lovers and budget-conscious groups.

Since my last review, I've noticed that the food remains consistently good, and the staff is friendly, all at reasonable prices. I really enjoy dining here for larger meals! The food is excellent, and the prices are quite fair. However, I have to deduct some stars because the waitstaff seem more interested in chatting with friends who come in than in checking on us throughout the meal. This definitely isn't the best way to encourage tips or get customers to return and spend money at your establishment.

Food was delicious. Waiter was very nice and came back often to see if we needed anything. Prices aren't bad. They serve breakfast food all day. I left something there on accident and they were very nice and held it for me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
