★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lloyd De France · Jul 2025

My wife and I stopped by the diner after a long day. When we arrived, we initially wondered why we didn't get someone to acknowledge that we are waiting to be seated. However, we later learned that there was only one person serving, and there were several large parties. So, the wait was expected. We shared the fried chicken dinner with french fries and a small house salad. The fried chicken was well deep fried, maybe even too much, and was a little dry. But, the breading tasted good. The salad was fresh however the onions were a bit overpowering. The french fries were good. Kathy, the server on staff, did a great job of handling all of the people that were in the diner at the time. She was very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere didn't seem like a diner at all. In fact, looking at the men

We've stopped here occasionally over the years. Last night was the worst service we ever received. There were only 2 other customers in the restaurant. Our waitress sat us and asked for our drink order to which I said I need just a minute. My husband and I quickly determined our drink order and meal order but the waitress didn't come back. She stayed at the counter talking with two customers who had already placed their order for take out. My husband and I almost left but then the other customers got their take out and they said their goodbyes. The waitress came over and took our orders without acknowledging ignoring us for over 15+ minutes. We both ordered breakfast. My husband got bacon and sausage with his meal and has been up since 2am with severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea. So on

Don't let the outside fool you, this diner has fresh and delicious food! They have gluten free options (waffles, pancakes, bread and pasta). The pancakes were so light and fluffy I had to ask the server if she was sure they were gluten free. Generous serving sizes too. My dining partner got the turkey club on rye bread. Delicious sweet tea. It's a small place so service is slow and they try to turn tables fast. Only disappointment was we got our bill too quick and didn't get a chance to order dessert!
