Stepping inside feels like a trip back in time with its charming old‑school diner decor. Portions are huge, prices are unbelievably cheap, and the friendly staff make every visit a joy, I love everything about it!

A large variety of items to choose from almost made it difficult to choose I tried the Gyro omelette plate that came with salad and it was really really good. I wasn’t sure how did it first, but I was pleasantly surprised with the delightful way that the flavor is mixed. The waitress was super friendly and despite being very crowded service is quick

Food is ok for a small town diner, that's been around for decades. Huge selection of meals, so no focus on a few items. Had breakfast. Biscuits tasted homade and the gravy is typical northern style. Southern will be disappointed. Servers a very polite, but understaffed. Clean place with a 50s/60s decor that hasn't changed much since it was built. Pancakes were very average, not much flavor.

First off, WHAT A MENU UPGRADE There were so many new selections placed on the menu and I had an extremely hard time making a decision on what it was that I really wanted to order. Photos attached include a deluxe beef cheeseburger which has fresh tomatoe, lettuce, mushrooms, red onions, yellow and green peppers with a side of fries. You also have pancakes deluxe which includes eggs, bacon, ham and sausage. I ordered extra bacon instead. Last but not least, the appetizer which was potato skins with broccoli and cheese. THAT WAS DELICIOUS. Don't get me wrong, EVERYTHING was great from start to finish. S/o to my server NOAH. He was on point with his service. It was pretty crowded and the atmosphere was calm. It's a great feeling when you walk into a restaurant and pick up the vibes off rip. The servers had it together and you could tell that they all enjoyed working with one another. I'm going back to try other items on the menu soon. The Long Island tea are HITTING.
