Hit or miss service, but mostly a hit. Pretty standard diner. Costs a little more than TikTok, but you'll be more church goers and kids here and more drunks and drug addicts and TikTok so the price is worth it.

They always serve large portions so you dont leave hungry! We have been there twice and both times the food was good and so was the service. We had dinner the first visit- Meat loaf and Prime Rib. The meatloaf was very flavorful, and the mixed vegetables were surprisingly very tasty. The Prime Rib was okay, but we thought it was overpriced at $23.99. It didnt taste anywhere near as good as Black Angus, and they charge $24.99 and you get a big slice of Mud Pie with theirs...so that's the only complaint. Second visit was omel... read more

I must say I was surprised, decent food great service! 11:00 pm, and the place was packed. Crazy, but we didn't have to wait. My friend and I were taken to a booth for two, we're given menus and like two minutes later we were asked if we wanted anything to drink, and in less than 3 minutes our drinks showed up and so did our waitress. I didn't time it but our food showed up pretty fast considering how full the dining room was! My patty melt was good and was made with red onions. Meat was cooked medium rare just the way I l... read more

My family and I came here for breakfast on 6/26/21, I ordered the Spicy Sausage patties breakfast with eggs, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. I also ordered a coffee. The Spicy sausage breakfast was good, and the coffee was also good, the only thing that wasn't that good was the biscuit. Usually when I order the biscuits here they are good, but this time it was hard and crusty like it had been sitting since yesterday. They usually taste fresh baked. It didn't taste fresh at all. Even with butter, and jelly on it, it still didn't t... read more

Food was overall good (though the broccoli was way oversteamed). Kind of a disappointing experience compared to other visits. The south end of the dining room was uncomfortably warm--it does get more sun but maybe some fans would help? Our server was good but the kitchen had some significant timing issues, causing a long wait for entrees. Looks like they get a lot of take out orders but they should not let that affect in-restaurant diners. Also, hair in the soup-ugh!
