Their meatloaf meal is delicious. Comes with a choice of sides, but I get salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed vegetables and a cornbread muffin. The dinner size is enough for two people. They also have a smaller size order, maybe it's called a half order. Looks like they have new hours too. 8am-8pm.

Classic Eggs Benedict was a smash. The biscuits and gravy, not so much. The biscuit/gravy ratio was completely off, even after ordering extra sides of gravy. Service was excellent. Booth normal, cleanliness was good from what I experienced. I would come here again. 

Business response:

Brian, thanks for the 4 start review. Keep feeding your inner bear!

Being new to the area has had me a bit cautious to try out an unknown mom and pop restaurant. I'm sure there are good ones out there to discover and eventually will but I wanted something familiar. Familiar is what we got. The food was pretty tasty. I went for the California Burger and fries which was spot on. The service was good. Plenty of parking. We even took home a cobbler to enjoy later. Not a bad little diner for a night you want to get away from cooking at home. Only reason for not being a 5, is its a typical chain f... read more

Great selection and fast service. Breakfast portions were huge - enough to split. We pile recommend the brownie and their breakfast skillets. Yummy!
