We were gifted a Groupon for this place so we gave it a try. The outside is a little intimidating but everyone there was nice and friendly. The food was amazing! Definitely recommend!

Delicious food and super friendly service! Found them via Yelp as one of the top 10 places to eat. Should be on Diner’s, Drive In’s and Dives!

Excellent service. Tasty food. It’s a bit of a dive but everything is clean and the staff was friendly. I had the half order of the loaded breakfast which was plenty for me. Husband had an omelette. I forget which one but it was huge! I saw another table order the cheeseburgers and they looked and smelled wonderful. I plan to come back to try them.

This place is great. It's a diner that is directly connected to a bar, but separated internally. On Saturdays they're open 24hrs. Food is down home diner food, and it's good. Waitresses are friendly, prompt and on top of it but they don't hover. I recommend the mushroom Swiss burger, it's awesome. Breakfast is also a treat and there is a nice selection to choose from. I wouldnt normally address another review directly, but don't pay attention to these serial reviewer types (Shi.) No need to criticize a restaurant every time you eat there, unless youre a paid critic, as that's just weird.

I love going to this place. I always get the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken is nice and crispy while the fries are amazingly seasoned. I suggest extra seasoning because it's just that good. Makes for some good stuff to put on the chicken if toy scrape it on the bottom of the plate. The service is always great too. They learned what I like after me being there only twice and at this point they can start ringing me up before I fully cross the restaurant to get to the cash register. I will note they are connected to the bar next door by a door that is often open and you sometimes have to deal with the smell of cigarette smoke. That's the worst of this place.

Breakfast was my meal time visit I can only say that the coffee was hot my cup was always full the eggs and ham potatoes were perfectly cooked to order. I was pleased with the service and they had the morning news on TV and I could hear the TV so that was a bonus

A great local diner. It's dated but is a clean diner. A very family-friendly place. I had breakfast, which is a simple meal, but eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage were cooked perfectly, in my opinion. I will definitely be going back to try lunch. Don't be afraid to check it out. You may be surprised by the small town atmosphere.
