I also tried the chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce, which were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delightful as well. I sampled the new Mac n' Tots, which is a personal-sized serving of tater tots topped with macaroni and white cheese. It was different from the cheddar cheese I would have preferred, but I'm biased on that front. Overall, it was a great meal. The person I dined with ordered the country fried steak with eggs and pancakes and said the pancakes were perfect. The steak was fried to a crispy texture and very tasty. This restaurant is a must-visit if you're in the area. It has a charming old-school vibe with plenty of regulars, and the waitstaff is very polite and attentive.

The pico de gallo didn’t taste very fresh, and the small portion of beans just wasn’t enough. I left feeling hungry, especially since there were limited options for vegetarians.

It tends to get quite crowded, which speaks to its appeal as an affordable diner with decent meals. I always order the soup, salad, and entrée dinner combo, and I really enjoy the gumbo soup.

Besides that the staff is super nice. We have a guy from Honduras and my sister in law felt great speaking in Spanish with him.Definitely a plus when we speak Spanish!

The food is good, affordable, and amazing variety from breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want more for your buck try Norm?s, trust me you caneat worst and pay 3x more.
