My parents love this restaurant, but are disappointed they no longer serve dinner. The owners told us they simply did not have enough patrons to sustain dinner hours - yet it was always crowded when we went there. In any case, the newly remodeled decor provided the opportunity to increase prices - some are minimal. I won't order a veggie omelette again - unlike other restaurants who are stingy with ingredients, this was so laden with spinach and asparagus, there was barely any egg. I think the food is still quite good, although on our last visit, our waitress was rather sullen and curt. This was in contrast to past waitresses who were delightful. They really should have ponied up and fixed the wretched parking lot. Considering many of their loyal patrons are older, the potholes and incredibly uneven surface are an accident waiting to happen! We always have to be extra careful with my very elderly parents. I'm also a bit surprised they didn't update the over-the-hill waiting area.

Friendly atmosphere, recently remodeled open for breakfast and lunch only, just one menu. I usually get something from lunch portion of the menu. Large portion but, if you prefer you can order a la carte. Family friendly. Often crowded wait time no longer than 10 - 20 minutes unless it's a holiday. Can call for reservation for larger parties. They have a parking lot.

Don't eat here! This restaurant has been remodeled (it is now a breakfast and lunch place, so don't plan on going here for dinner), and apparently the service and quality of the food has changed as well. I have eaten here before, and it used to be one of my favorite places to go to. Not anymore! I had a horrible experience here today, and I will not return. I ordered a veggie burger, and it was overcooked and tasted absolutely vile. I took two bites and could not bring myself to eat anymore. When I was ordering, I asked for sweet potato fries with my meal; the waitress said that it also included soup. When I asked her what kinds of soup they had, she started to tell me and I asked her to speak up because I could not hear her. She seemed confused by this request and didn't quite know what to do. After realizing that they were no vegetarian soup options, I told her that I would skip the soup. She walked away without offering me an alternative, even though I was paying for the sweet potato fries AND the soup. She disappeared for at least 10 minutes; I had a cup of coffee in front of me, but she had not even offered or brought any cream for my coffee. When she reappeared after 10 minutes, I asked her for some cream, and I also asked her what I could have in place of soup. We settled on salad, and that was fine. The sweet potato fries were good. In addition to the veggie burger being absolutely awful, the coffee tasted horrendous. It tasted like it had been sitting in the pot for a long while. When I asked her, she told me it was a fresh pot; I found that astounding, because that means that the coffee there is just bad, period. I also found it very disheartening that a diner, which should pride itself on serving good coffee, is serving such awful coffee. It's really a shame. Save your money and eat elsewhere!!

Food is pretty good here, only thing is it could use a little upgrade. Trying for the cozy feel but they just cant get it. Friendly staff, always clean, very acomidating servers.

Fook a qhile to be seated , Service was slow. Asked for well done burgers got 1 medium 1 rare. Did not get drinks only water. Said burgers only got burgers and fries had to pay for the fries even though they were untouched. Kind of pricey
