First time we had breakfast and it was really good. Tonight we went for dinner and again, it was really good. They were busy but we still got our food in a normal amount of time. Their homemade ranch and cheese sauce were delish

Had a very nice lunch, the dining area was clean and spacious, the food was very good, the prices reasonable, the service was great. My husband and I will be back. You might want to consider a little more ventilation although I am hypersensitive to smells, this alone will not keep us for coming back an enjoying your great food.

Absolutely stunned by this place. We were visiting family for a baby shower. My brother said there was a Diner nearby that he had not been to in a while. The atmosphere was truly a small town Diner. We loved it. The staff was welcoming upon entry. Out waitress was a hoot and oh so friendly. Our food was hot and plentiful. It was a very fulfilling time and meal. We will go here again when we return to the area
