The staff were very polite & accommodating. The atmosphere was quiet & peaceful. The food was fabulous. It's off the beaten path & small but so worth the trip!

We tried out this small Mom and Pop restaurant today. One word..awesome! #2 or #1 best Phillycheese sub we have ever had. It’s off the beaten path a little but worth the drive. We will find an excuse to go back again soon.

This place is deceptive. It doesn't look like anything much on the outside. But the food was delicious! The inside walls are covered in people's signatures from all over the place. It has a cute little "shop" in the back. Jeremiah, our waiter/host was awesome. He was on top of things from the get go and very helpful. The food was well priced and seasoned even better!

Such a fun, historic place run by a wonderful, caring couple. I arrived late afternoon after a grueling day on the bicycle, looking forward to a nice meal. Unfortunately, sick children required an early closure. I had plenty of food and started making my meal when the owners drove by and apologized profusely for the emergency closure. I noted I had plenty of food and thanked them. They went above and beyond, providing me with a Gatorade, water and a tasty coffee cake. They also let me use the restroom. I was happy to hear they opened at 6:30 AM, so I enjoyed a great espresso drink and a nice breakfast sandwich. I was able to camp in the pavilion behind the restaurant and access the strong restaurant WiFi.

I don’t do usually do this, but this restaurant warrants 5 stars across all categories. Wow…so happy we stumbled in this place. One of the best burgers we’ve ever had…I’d say #1!!! The portion, the freshness…absolutely delicious. Also had the BLT and it’s was very, very tasty. Both came with French fries which were also fresh and crispy with a wonderfully soft middle. Delicious desserts are also offered…we tried the apple cobbler with ice cream!!! Delicious!!! And lastly, the service was fantastic. Our server was super friendly and very pleasant.
