What our guests are saying
Fantastic diner! Stopped in for breakfast. Menu has all the usual suspects. Service was friendly and quick. Food was very good. Large portions. Reasonable prices. Had the fried pork tenderloin, which was on special, and it was perfectly cooked.

What sweet staff they have in here!! So helpful. I ordered a tuna melt on white and it's amazing!! Cheeseburger is so tasty and done perfectly. But let me tell you about the lemon pie! To die for! Homemade 🍋 pie is my favorite ever! Sad I missed breakfast but I bet the biscuits were delicious. Wish we were staying in town longer so we could come back!! 💚

We stopped for breakfast, fully expecting to sit for forty-five minutes. to an hour. We were done eating and out the door in 16 minutes. Our server was fantastic. She served with a smile the whole time. The food was on the table amazingly fast and tasted homemade. Some of the best food I've had! I was surprised by how good the price was! Definitely would eat here again. If you're looking for a nice, clean, family restaurant with an old school feel. This is the place to go!!
