The place was warm and friendly. The waitress was fantastic. I had Bacon, eggs, home fries, and an English. Bacon was crispy like I requested, eggs were perfect as well. Can't ask for more than great service and even better food. Highly recommend!

This was the quintessential hole on the wall, classic, Americana, small town, diner. All in a good way. Where you can go back in time, and have a sense of what it was like back when life and society was much simpler, with no cellphones ironically intervening with family communication, no cameras checking your every move wherever you go. Back when you knew the first and last name of your neighbors. When kids were safe in mind, body and spirit when you sent them to school. When families used to go for breakfast at the local diner. Very small and cozy, great food, great coffee. We had the Hungry Man and the Waffle with breakfast sausage, French toast and bread toast, and orange juice. It was great, and the people there made you feel welcomed. Great spot to feel like you were back in simpler times and when the food was great, as it is in this place.
