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!

Our first time going to a restaurant after vaccination for COVID-19. We went when they first opened in the morning, we were one couple of 3 in the restaurant at the time. Our server was very polite and conscientious. We ordered breakfast and it was great. Their portions are very large, however I always order sides so I don't get quite so much food. They are one of the few places that knows how to do a perfect basted egg, in my opinion. We won't hesitate to go back again.

I have gotten food here in the restaurant and delivered during covid time. They have THE best orange juice I've ever had! Other highlights include the homemade Italian sausage bit the hot and the sweet, the vinaigrette salad dressing, the blackberry tart with vanilla ice cream and the coconut cream pie. The manager, I've forgotten his name as this incident happened almost two years ago went above and beyond to make things right when they were anything but. It's a comfortable place and the food is generally quite good. If yo... read more
