Delicious food and great service!

Our group of eight was seated quickly. Our server, I don’t remember her name, but she did a very good job. I rate the quality of food as fair, portions were sizable, but dishes were not well prepared, i.e. cheese on nachos wasn’t melted, baked potato was hard, brown piece of lettuce in skimpy salad, iced tea tasted like water. Won’t be back.

Small diner type of place. Friendly staff. Quick service. Salad was a little plate of iceberg lettuce and a couple pieces of cucumber and tomato. Turkey was dry and salty. Stuffing, saltier than Stove Top. Mashed potatoes, again salty. Food, in a word, SALTY.

Service was not the best, I know places are short handed but smiles make up for snail pace service. Be careful if you pay by card you will be nailed for a 3.99% charge. Understand need for some but the only sign was a 4 x 6 index card at register

Breakfast was tasty and plentiful with lots of options. Coffee was good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive to our table of 6. Prices were reasonable.

First time here based on TripAdvisor reviews! Clean, friendly and cheerful ambiance. Place packed midweek during off-season which demonstrates how popular it is. Food passed by our table to be served and every plate looked good. Our food was perfectly prepared. Wholesome and clean. Though their website states vegan / vegetarian only 2 menu items (salad and Pasta Primavera) they graciously accommodated me by making a veggie and cheese quesadilla. That kind of flexibility is rare and much appreciated! We will return!

I am never disappointed with coming here when it comes to the quality of their food. The breakfast on the adult menu is fairly priced based on the portions & the food is super delicious!! The only issue I had was there isn't really a kids meal. You get one item & a drink but if you want to add eggs, or meat that costs more. We ended up paying just as much for our meals as our 6 yr old daughters.

1. Outrageously expensive...nearly double what is should be. $11 for a BLT and $3 for a soda. Better value at Subway or Burger King just down the road.2. The violate the building and fire code. The emergency exit is blocked. They've been told and don't care. You are trapped if there is a fire or car crash at the front.3. They violate their contract with the credit care processor by charging a fee for using credit cards. Credit cards are part of doing business and charging 3% is a no-no.

First time here I had the breakfast sandwich which came with two eggs and two sausage patties with cheese on an English muffin for $8 however did find the home fries to be mushy so not so great.The eggs are good size.Friendly staff, clean

Stopped by just before closing, everyone was super friendly and not annoyed by how late we arrived. The breasted chicken is so delicious and the staff are super friendly! Will be returning!
