Food and service were excellent! I had the meatloaf small dinner - excellent. I love that they have small dinner servings - and even the "small" was a lot of food. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great food and great prices but the staff need more training, they are very slow and not in any hurry to take orders or seat you. Fix the staff and this place would be 5 no doubt.

Large portions, friendly staff, plenty of seating, and the food was yummy. We got there around 9:30 a.m. with no wait, and by the time we left, we heard the hostess telling people it was a 20-minute wait. Though there were a lot cars in the parking lot but plenty of seating inside. We will be back.

I went in there a few weeks ago. I had the hamburger salad( below). It was huge. It was very good and not like most other places. I had so much leftover that I had to take it home and I don't usually take home cause I'm part of clean plate club. My waitress( Amanda) was excellent and was very courteous and attentive. I didn't have to ask for refills on water. I was also there when they opened and I had ribs and they were also huge. They weren't like those other places where they have smaller ribs but more bones. They had lar... read more

I've been twice - my score is actually a 4.6 (not a five). It's a true diner, clean, big portions, and everyone is very nice. Hash browns hack - order extra crispy; you get such a large portion that the inside is missing the crisp that makes hash browns so good. The second trip the waitress royally screwed up my order, but her and the manager were extremely quick and helpful to make it right...and that's what counts! The biscuits are homemade and huge, and they make their own sausage. They're working some processes and... read more

Giving the diner 3 stars because they had only been open 6 days and have some growing pains. We were there on a Friday and I wanted the prime rib special and my husband wanted the tri tip. Our waitress wanted to check to make sure that was available. She came back and told us the tri tip was available, but didn't say anything about the prime rib. So we both ordered the tri tip. I ordered mine medium rare and my husband's ordered his medium. Our waitress told us soup came with the meals. I questioned that because I didn't see... read more

They are still new having recently opened but the service and food were great. Good to have a home cooking type of place nearby. We had breakfast and my biscuit was huge and fluffy. Can't wait to try lunch and dinner
