First time here, we are from Texas just passing through on a job. Found this place and let me tell you, the place is absolutely beautiful inside, the service is amazing! And the food is no less than wonderful! You get TONS of food for what you pay for! It was nice to finally find a restaurant that truly cares about their customers! If you haven’t stopped in you definitely should! You won’t be disappointed!!

Great place. Three of us went there. I had pork chops with Greek seasoning and some fried potato with Greek seasoning. It was very tasty. Someone with me had the Beef Manhattan. He said it was one of the best things he's ever tasted it came stacked So High full of meat and gravy it looked phenomenal the other person had a root beer float grilled cheese and said it was really good as well. We were on our way through and drove past 7 fast food restaurants to go to this place and it was well worth it. Not only are you supporting local business but you will get much better food than you will at any fast food restaurant that's near there. I suggest you try it

A great place to eat breakfast. The bacon was the best, thick cut and cooked to order with hardly no fat. The eggs and French toast was great also.

Truly an excellent diner with hearty healthy food, not greasy! Polite sincere service and attention to customers. The experience was great food choices are everything you would expect from a true diner with added healthy choices too. Very clean and reasonable prices. The owner and his family and crew are amazing hosts.

Went for breakfast. It was good, but average. I ordered eggs, meat, toast but they do have all the good stuff too--french toast, omelettes, etc. The service was very good. The staff is prompt, attentive, everyone was very friendly. The place is clean. I'm curious to go try it for lunch and see what I think. One side has a bar, assuming that part opens up later in the day would it pretty big inside.
