We had dinner on a Saturday evening. I am just amazed by the youth of today. As we walk in, 4 young high school aged youth were... standing behind the counter. We were not even greeted. Once seated, I had to get the youth's attention to wipe the table offagain, for there was food remnants still on the table. He grabbed a wadded up towel and proceeded to push the stuff around onthe table. I told to flatten out the towel and "wipe" the table. Then we got attitude. We contemplated just walking out andgoing elsewhere. Luckily our server, Ben, was great. It seemed he was the only one really working. My Reuben was nothingspectacular, my wife's French Toast was okay also. I'm not sure if we will return. Read more

Chicken & biscuit was the star! Sadly, everything else we had wasn?t great. Still giving 4 stars because of the incredible... biscuits, cute atmosphere and fast service. If you order the chicken & biscuit, make sure you get extra honey butter andregular honey. Elevates the sandwich from good to amazing. The bacon was not worth the calories?probably the cheapest bacon youcould buy. The eggs were cracked and thrown on a griddle, no fluff or flavor. The pancake was chewy. Let me tell you, the hashbrowns were just as bad as all of the reviews claimed. Soggy mush with no flavor. It was really busy for a Wednesday morning,but the service was still fast and our server was friendly enough. Prices are reasonable. We liked the vibe?a nicer twist on adiner feel. We?d come back if we were close by, but probably wouldn?t go out of our way to come here again. Unless the cravingssurfaced for those biscuits?yum. Read more

Why would you do this to yourself? Oh boy? where do I start here? what are you guys doing? The star I am giving is for that... senior lady at the entrance they had a smile on her face all the time and the happiest attitude. The rest of the staff was onthe border line between rude and careless. We went there for lunch, but had to ask for a takeaway order since dogs are notallowed inside. It took them 48 minutes to deliver my food. And when I got it? gosh? what is this? Food was swimming in somedisgusting sauce. Super unhealthy food. Why would you do this to yourself? It?s low quality, it?s unhealthy, a calorie bomb toyour body, and it?s gross. I read some of the reviews and couldn?t believe what I was looking at. Apparently people would thinkquantity over quality is great. I don?t. I like quality and healthy stuff so if you are like me avoid this place at allmeans. On the other side, If you don?t care about quality, you?re after filling your stomach with anything no matter howunhealthy it might be and are having the munchies? then go for it, this is your place. Other than that, great job for the seniorlady at the entrance who made my waiting less painful and I will never come back here. Read more

Food was just okay, not nearly as good as all the hype I'd heard. The mashed potatoes were bland and the batter on the onion... rings was nothing special. Waited 20 minutes to be seated because it was lunch rush but even after we were seated our waitresskept forgetting about us. Read more

A fun , retro style diner with good food, huge portions, and moderate prices. We had a croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese and... the pancakes. Both were probably above average but not special. Read more

Classic Americana diner. Great food selection, very nostalgic, each booth is themed, Elvis/Monroe/Dean/etc.. Only thing missing... is checker wrap of the tables. Very much rustic/diner, very clean.. A kids play area, large chalkboard, and news articles fromthe 50's/60's. They also have a small private dinning area for party's. Waitstaff is prompt and courteous. Hands down, besthomemade ranch, the onion rings are huge, thick onion, exactly how it should be. Eggs Benedict, cooked perfectly, a littleheavy on the hollandaise, not a bad thing though, just wanted to mention it.. Hashbrowns are perfect, crispy mixed withsoft... Pancakes, soft, fluffy, perfect. Biscuits and gravy (served with Over easy egg). Delicious, biscuits are soft, butterflavor, gravy is thick, good seasoning, I will be back for this... Portions are huge, you get an incredible amount of food forthe price. Read more
