"Stopped in for breakfast. They open early, the food was good for a diner experience. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Omelet. Toast and Jam. The omelet shell was as thin as an egg shell or paper, unsure to say amazing skills, or should have just asked for a pile of meat. The first time I had eggs and not known it.. The meat was very dry. If you decide to try it, I would say get some mayo.. it makes it way better. Unsure why they don't offer it with it. The toast was toast, hard to mess that up. Lol. The Jelly wad outstanding good, but served ice cold for your non spread-ability. Think the whole plate could use more seasonings to bring it to life. Cost wise, 12.75. Ended up with toast and water dropping 20.. end of the day it was filling but still costly. Service was great. Atmosphere... Tight, sardines would feel cramped.. The bathroom was and is laughable. So many memories of a cruise ship. The first time I was able to was my wash hands and try then all while still sitting on the pot. Sit down gently too.. lol it's a rocker chair. But.. it did the job for a small town. O and cash only.. and pay meter parking.."

"A delightful happy place to start your day. Tammy and Sharon were our servers and made us smile. Great conversation too. We were visiting. (Sure they knew that). Pat, a cook was also personable with us. Food was delicious and several coffee refills. We ate breakfast every morning during our stay."

"It has the feel of a hole in the wall old school diner. The food was good. My older brother was with me and ordered the ham & leek soup. It was made with wild leeks and had nice bite sized chunks if ham. I tried some and it was awesome. We both got the classic diner sandwich the Patty melt sandwich . If you ever find yourself nearby stop in for a good meal."

"This place is a diamond in the rough. Great area but this diner is amazing. I wish we had this restaurant near me. This diner is a little more than on hour away but we make sure we go there at least once a month. Wow we really love this place."

"Warm atmosphere and excellent food. Came in for breakfast and left very satisfied. The diner is cozy and that day it was decorated with orange Halloween lights around the windows. Our server was attentive and we got our food quickly. I had the eggs over easy, sausage patties, toast and home fries with peppers and onions. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the home fries were great. Two breakfasts - that were both excellent - for about $20 with tip. Talk about a fantastic value in today's market. Highly recommend. Great place."

"My server, Tiffany, was great! I felt bad that she was the only server there on the Wednesday recently that I went there. She did a fantastic job. Very attentive, friendly, and talkative (in a good and pleasant way). I had a great experience there. My mom wants to go there and try it out, too."
