Always fast, friendly service with GREAT food and GREAT prices!! Love that it's right down the street. If you haven't tried this place, you should!
Had the best grilled ham and cheese sammich in ever. Excellent service too. Definitely will come again
Let's start off with how fast the order was ready. Called for three items, Swiss omlette, tuna sandwich, and coney dog (chili, onions on side) . The order was ready in ten minutes, chatted it up with Julie who was waiting tables. She's awesome and made sure everything was correct with my order. Very cool diner feel to the establishment with an old western playing on the tube. Got home and couldn't be more pleased with the food, omlette was cooked just right, hash browns were crisp and the coney dog was grilled to perfection. The chili was just what I needed. Thanks for the great lunch, and for Julie taking care of me. 10/10
Come by and see Gary, Anna, and the crew. Great food and service.
Most places I go, the corned beef hash is mushy and greasy. Here, it was crisp and delicious. Everything was cooked great, staff is super friendly, good portions, good prices, and it was all what you'd hope for in a small diner. I'll be back again for sure.
Even when they're busy, the food is always fast. I always get the same southern omelette with wheat toast and crispy hash browns, it's always delicious. Sometimes the gravy is too hot for my mouth, but that's a me problem. Anna is a great waitress. She's a little hard of hearing sometimes so it might take a couple tries to grab her attention when she's busy, but she's always in a good mood. I don't mind. Most of the regular customers are older folks that are equally hard of hearing, so I can't fault the staff. The chef is happy to make minor alterations to the food. If you want extra spinach in your omelette or your bacon extra crispy, it's no big deal. I absolutely recommend them to anyone who asks where to go for breakfast or early lunch, but the building layout isn't designed for groups of people larger than 5.
Wonderful carbohydrates
It's nice to eat somewhere where the cook actually knows how to make good food! Here, the hashbrowns are actually brown, crispy and cooked! Thank you for tasty and fairly priced food.
