They definitely named this restaurant appropriately! It's been a Very Long Time since we've had an experience like this! This was our first time here but most definitely not our last! The service was outstanding! All of the staff was great, our waitress Xaviera, was the absolute best! From the moment we walked in until the moment we left she was attentive to us as well as all the other customers, making sure everything was great (Which it was!) all with a big smile! You want to hear about the taste and portions of our meals!? I got the NY Strip, with a side salad and baked potato and my best friend got the Breaded Haddock, a side salad and sweet potato fries! Oh My... Everything Was So Darn Delicious, The Portions Were So Big And Filling (as we both needed to go boxes.) You really NEED to

I've been coming in here for the last two years whenever I drive up from Lancaster, Pa. Most of the servers know me, and treat me well. The server i had today could have cared less if I came in. No greeting. No smile. I had to wait for her to clean off my table and she definitely had to check her watch while I waited. I had to finish drying off the table. Ordered ice tea. For meal I ordered roast beef, mashed potatoes, and corn. When my meal came, the mashed potatoes were sitting in water. I had to use a napkin to sop it up. Mashed potatoes weren't even warm. Corn in separate bowl, not warm. Roast beef was only food that was warm, not hot, but warm. This is second time in two weeks that food wasn't brought out at proper temperature. If an inspector came in, you guys would be shut down i

Amazing food, huge portions! Quick and attentive service! If there are any issues, the waitress will make sure its fixed too! The place is small but the atmosphere is great with tons of cool things to look at on the walls.

Great food, fast service, and great coffee. It was a wonderful surprise as we passed through town. I got eggs, potatoes, and a pancake 🥞. The eggs aren't super oily, the potatoes are crispy, and the pancake was soft 😋 Recommend stopping in for breakfast or brunch. Next time I'm trying the chicken and waffles 🤤

The only thing good was the homemade mashed potatoes. Though the place was nice and our waitress was very nice. The chicken was rubbery. Corn was canned
