Great authentic diner!! Highly recommended. The food was typical greasy spoon; pancakes were just the way we like them - chewy, but not cakey. The samplers had everything we liked. Breakfast burritos was very filling as well. Remember to bring Quarters for the parking meter. Last pic is our spotless plates. Very yummy.

First time experience! I am not sure why it has taken me so long to come here. The food was PHENOMENAL - I asked for extra crispy hash browns and they delivered! The decor is historical and beautifully done. I cannot tell you how very spectacular our waitress "Denise" was. She was prompt and funny and delivered above and beyond. This place is very transparent. Your food is prepared right behind the counter for the most part. Their kitchen isn't all hidden and closed off- you can see how clean it is. The are a well oiled machine and do what they do best. GO THERE- EXPERIENCE A SMALL TOWN FEELING- AND TELL DENISE I SAY HI! (Denise is not her name but rather what I called her- I think her name is actually Jess)

NOT IMPRESSED sat down took about 15-20 min to put in a order then waiting another 20 min for the food thought we had enough time to grab a quick bite but we're out of time before the food even got to my table..... then opened my container in the truck and burger was well well done cuz it sat on the grill while the cook chatted with customers on the other side of the building so expected it to be done according to the attention it was given also the lettuce is brown on the ends. Unimpressed....

Great little corner diner. Enjoyed our breakfast, came out descent time considering how busy they were. Food tasted great and will come again. Could use some updated seats, not just because of older look but where a little uncomfortable as seat cushions have worn down.

One word: FANTASTIC. My wife and I went here after walking up and down Main Street once we finished our last trip of this year to the Farmer's Market. I ordered what I always order, the Biscuits and Gravy with a side order of Hash Browns, and my wife had a Cheese Omelet. From the food to the conversation we had with the waitresses as well as with Sandy, we had a wonderful experience -- so much so that we both thought that going back more regularly was in order. There's something about sitting at the counter and having a meal while talking to the employees that's very comforting...it's something that's sadly lacking nowadays, at least in my opinion, and is a throwback to a bygone era where strangers at a small restaurant would actually engage with each other over a meal. I find, as I g
