★★★★☆ 4.0 Sea Hawk · Jun 2025

This restaurant serves large portions of all American cooking at reasonable prices. I enjoyed the open faced turkey sandwich very much while my wife enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich with chicken noodle soup. The restaurant is done up.kn the theme of a 50s diner with a lot of Route 66 paraphernalia. The staff is efficient and the food comes hot and quick with very large portions. If you're in the are I suggest you drop by.

Favorite of locals, this place will not let you leave hungry! The portion sizes are enough to share! We came for breakfast and it was delicious! Food is served up quickly, and the coffee is fantastic! The reindeer sausages were great, and the flapjacks were bigger than a Frisbee!

This is a cute mom & pop style diner with Rte 66 and 50’s American themes. Also, conveniently located a hop over from creek street. They offer traditional American breakfast for a decent price. Both my wife and I ordered the 2x French toast breakfast. It was great. Coffee was good and refills were timely. I did find it odd, however, that on the menus half-sized portions are available but only a dollar cheaper than the full-sized option. Seems strange to offer it in the first place. The customer service was good. Expect about $40-45 for two people.

I dont know where to begin, my family and i came on vacation and this had to be the worst service we have ever encountered. This place wasnt even busy not sure what their problem was and i hate to say that i felt discriminated for not being a local. We got seated ordered our drinks and food, when our drinks came out my OJ tasted watered down when we asked if we could exchange for another drink the waiter said she had just changed the filter and she would bring out a new juice when she brought the new juice out it tasted the same at this point i wasnt going to ask to change my juice i was going to add a new drink but server never made her way back to our table 45 minutes later we noticed people who had gotten to the cafe after us had already got their food and where paying we nicely asked w
