Friendly and personable workers. Quick service. More food than we could finish in one sitting. Mounds of onion rings! Food was... good, desserts too. Lots of history on the walls and behind the counters. Good atmosphere. Must experience when in the area. Read more

Great food! Huge portions! Got the shrimp plate and my husband got the seafood combo with flounder and shrimp. I could only eat... about a 1/4 of it. Fried onions are delicious! Read more

I tasted my cousin fish and it was just the way I like it. Definitely a plus for me. The servicewas awesome the guys were very friendly. Read more

Wow! This was a new experience for us. It?s almost like a cafeteria line. I have no idea how the employees keep up with all the... orders. I had country ham sandwich, another in our group had a burger and one had the BBQ. When you get the onion rings andfries added it?s enough for 2-3 people. I was glad we seen plates in front of us because it?s a ton of food. The tea reminded meof my grandmothers. Great stop of your in the area! Read more

Now realize what you are ordering. It?s drive inn food. But they doit right. And it DOES have flavor. Everything I got was great. I got a double cheeseburger A Plenty.

If your looking for good drive in food.. try it. Read more

Finally tried this landmark after years of passing through and never stopping. Food really good for price paid. It?s not a WOW... factor or the best ever but it is a pretty solid menu. The atmosphere is what makes this place though. The nostalgia and historyalong with the staff there make this a must visit if you are in the area. Read more

Diner fun indeed, this local fave has been around for years. The experience is part of the fun. Counter service, plenty of... seating inside and out. There is an extremely vast menu, be ready to order when you get to the counts. This is not the bestlooking or best service, it's what you'd expect from an old fashioned diner. Good food, selection, and good prices. I would goagain. Read more

Nostalgic. Is this the best food ever?. Nope. Will I come back again and again? Yes. You can't quantify how nostalgia changes... the flavor and perception of what we eat. This place, steeped in tradition pulls at those who grew up with its flavors. Read more
