The environment has a wonderful old time feel if you’re looking for that vintage roadside diner experience. The staff and new owners are great. They’re constantly walking around refilling coffee and checking to make sure everybody is enjoying their food and experience.

The menu has something for everyone. The portions are big – the price was very reasonable. You leave feeling full and we even had leftovers. Ally was our server she was right on top of things. Service with a smile and made you feel like family. She was very attentive and in no way did you feel rushed. The new booths look great and are very comfortable too. Would highly recommend you give this local business a try.
