Our Guestbook
“ Pam provided awesome service today! The food is very good here since they renovated last year. I have been very impressed not only with the interior upgrades but also the quality of food in general. The seniors specials are excellent portions and the prices are great. My Mom likes the 1 pork chop meal for $10.99 which comes with a large soup, vegetable, potatoes and a small dessert. Great value. Pam was so sweet and packed up our to-go order with care. She put a small tapioca pudding in a container for my mom to go with her meal. Pam was very kind to us and I hope we see her again next time we dine here. My favorite is the breakfast omelette $10.75. The vegetarian omelette is a good portion with hash browns. I did not want toast but it comes with it. My mother also enjoys the senior meatloaf which comes with the same sides as the pork chop. The dining area is a cool gray decor and very clean and modern. They really fixed this place up very well. Overall wholesome food and a great place for a meal, with nice people running the restaurant. ”
“ This is.great place to eat. They have a big menu and the prices are reasonable. I had the beef roll deluxe which comes with fries and soup. Everything was delicious and I had lots of leftovers. ”
“ Love this place, stop in every time we come up from Texas. Breakfast all day, nice family folks, kid friendly, great prices. ”
“ The family and I come here quite regularly. With my partner and I both coming from very small rural towns, finding a family diner that had that "we treat you like you're our family" feel can be frustrating and hard in an area like this. Food is reminiscent of my Gram's cooking: filling, rib-sticking, goodness. I typically have their gyro platter with extra tzatziki, and it's quite honestly the best (in my opinion) without heading towards the city. The partner typically has the meatloaf and even though he is quite picky on how it's made, he enjoys it very much. We highly recommend Lisa as a server. She always makes sure we are welcome, is very good with children, and is always coming to ask how we are doing and to refill drinks. ”
“ I travel the US for work. This diner is among the nations best diners! The food is delicious! The prices are so cheap! The service is outstanding ! You have to try the open face turkey with mashed potatoes, soup, and gravy!! All for 7.50!!! ”
