★★★★☆ 4.0 morris calley · Feb 2025

Great place overall, I had the pot roast special, little salty for my taste, but was good. I got a salad that was pretty good, and some French fries that tasted perfect. I got 3 deserts to go. Lemon meringue pie, strawberry, cream cheese crisps, and orange cranberry muffin. Cali Jo was awesome. Can't wait to come back for more food. By far the best food I've eaten in the area so far.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeremiah Bucklin · Feb 2026

Pretty much fast food quality with fast food price but not fast. The menu is hit or miss, we had a party of 6 and some of our dishes were great and a couple were more like luke warm t.v. dinner so depending on what you order it might be a good meal or it might be dissapointing. Service wasnt bad but was quite hands off, basically took our order and brought the check and you have to flag someone over if you need anything inbetween. Overall everyrhing about our visit was just mediocre, nothing bad but nothing great either, its a good quiet alternstive to fast food at a comparable price.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Cheri Tuckett · Jun 2025

Food was good. Service was poor. She never came back to refill pop. Eventually came back to our table and said....is that it? We asked for a pie menu, she never came back to see if we wanted any.... which we did. After 15 minutes or so, we decided to just go to the checkout and pay... even tho we never got our ticket. Stood there about 10 minutes waiting on someone to help us. Finally another gal came.... never apologized for no ticket, no pie etc..... and she was a service leader. Makes me question how much training these kids get nowadays. Not sure we'll be back.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Rômulo G.M. · Nov 2025

Salty, overcooked and microwave oven food. The aspargus looked like are beeing boiled for 1 hour. Too mushy. I've ordered the Steak & Peppers Skillet. The gravy was very salty. Too much gravy too. The other item was a Turkey & Stuffing with grilled asparagus. Mushy asparagus. The gravy looked and tasted floury.

★★★★☆ 4.0 J Hell · Sep 2021

Got lunch here it was good and filling! The tomato soup was excellent so was the salad and onion rings. The only reason it's not 5 stars is there weren't very many options for vegetarians.
