Coming from a family of third generation Diner owners, I am always prepared to be disappointed, especially when it comes to down home, simple food...but this place did NOT disappoint!!! This is not fancy food, just good old fashioned diner/cafe food. I had chicken and pancakes; the pancakes were delicious, as were the hand breaded chicken tenders. My husband had the chicken fried steak, onion rings and Mac & cheese, again very good. Nice portion sizes, too. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive (we went around 4pm on a Saturday and they weren't busy). We will definitely go back!!!

We had a weekend brunch that was great - Pancakes, eggs and sausage, a burger, chicken wrap, tater tots in queso... It was all good, cafe style comfort. The smothered tater tots were the hit.

The best chicken fried chicken I’ve had!! The 8oz sirloin had zero fat and I really think that was NOT 8oz; it was easily 10 or even 12 oz! Husband said it was the best steak he’s had too!! ❤️❤️ Side note: white gravy was served on the side and it was perfect! Oh and we also got a cinnamon roll to go! So stuffed!!

First visit, and I'll definitely be back. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out exactly as ordered. I had the eggs over easy, a thick slice of ham, fruit, toast, and a blueberry pancake. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The waitstaff was outstanding, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. If you leave here hungry and without a smile on your face, it's your own damn fault. 😆
