I just left and I placed a carry out order which I normally don't do and I debated on this restaurant. I bought a breakfast plate , hash browns , corned , beef hash and eggs , little disappointed on the hatch browns , it's like they kept it on the grill , maybe about three minutes and heated it up that was about it.. Definitely not cooked all the way you can still taste.I don't know little disappointed on the hash browns...

Absolutely wonderful to have a home cooked type meal. Great menu offerings and specials. Great prices. Welcoming feel when you walk in. Our service started very good. Our server was informative and friendly. We were going to get breakfast for dinner but she told us about the specials included full courses and dessert. We ordered the roast chicken special $11.99 and it included both soup and salad and dessert. The meal arrived smothered in gravy even though I advised that I couldn't have dairy. When I say smothered, it was blinding the meal. I scooped off a cup and saucer full. The chicken fell off the bone so much so that you had to be very careful not to eat the small backbones.

The atmosphere here has. Improved considerably! However be aware of your order when you receive it! I ordered a Chicken salad croissant! The texture of the Croissant seemed dried out, With the first bite something seemed extremely off. I decided I wasn’t really satisfied with it, and decided to get a small carry-out container! When at home I opened the box, the croissant had an old - bread smell! I couldn’t recognize “chicken salad filling”. Using a fork I EXAMINED the contents. To my shock there was NO CHICKEN SALAD, however coleslaw!! That had a sour odor, next time I went there I told the head waiter about it! His only response was “ why didn’t you bring it back”? I didn’t want to return for 4 undesirable bites! I learned my lesson, I will go there again with my group I was wi

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Christy Smith · Oct 2025

this place is the most disgusting place to eat!!! what ever you do, skip this place. the beef barley soup tasted like tomatoes there’s no beef flavor to it, the hot beef sandwich was worse they used roast beef lunch meat and it was chewy, the lasagna had nothing but tomato taste. The service sucked waitress never came and asked how the food was or if we wanted refills. Went to pay and there was a $4.00 charge to pay by card told her i was going to pay in cash instead and she took my card out of my hand and swiped it.

HUNGRY. We were on the road about 7 hours. Picked up our daughter and went to our favorite restaurant. They are friendly, the food is great whatever we get, plus a dessert. Yum
