Great Broasted Chicken and Homemade Mashed potatoes

Only giving 2 stars because of REBA ( She is great! )Not sure who the " chef "was on Tuesday but clearly this person has no basic culinary training. Mcd's makes better breakfast. I ordered the breakfast biscuit sandwich that came with hashbrowns. I was brought 2 small biscuit sandwiches where both biscuits were soggy and both the eggs and bacon were cold and the person cooking put a piece of cold kraft cheese right out of the fridge on both of them. I took one bite and spit it out. Didnt touch the hashbrowns which did not have ANY color on them. It looks like she stuck them in the microwave to warm. Chicken was very mediocre for being "broasted". The breading tasted like old oil and the chicken was a little slimey. Very disappointing. The potato wedges were also slightly raw. I know its hard to find people to work but for the love of god please hire someone with basic culinary knowledge.

Fantastic broasted chicken dinner. Last week my husband and I stopped in to try the broasted chicken, which is one of my favorite things and I'm very picky. Everything was fresh and hot. The chicken was perfect. I asked them to cook the potato wedges 2mins longer than usual since several reviews said they were undercooked for them, and they were perfect. Cole slaw was great. I was surprised I could get a nice glass of Pinot Grigio with dinner, since this is a really small diner/gaming place. The service was great. A customer service experience always has a lot to do with the individuals who are working. We had Reeba on the register, Karey, the manager, Pete, the cook, and another person who was friendly and waved from behind the counter. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Also, the bathroom was nice and clean. This was a really nice experience. Thank you!

I ordered a burger and it was disgusting. It taste like the meat had gone bad. The whole meal taste off and the fries were cold and mushy. The mashed potatoes with gravy was also disgusting and inedible, it was either sour or over seasoned with cloves. Not a good first impression at all.

Trash. The food served was not edible.

I enjoyed the chicken. Ordered a 12 piece family meal and thought it was a good deal. I'll go back again for more. Thank you.

Great chicken, good biscuits, ok broasted potatoes, not good. Mashed potatoes, coleslaw and somewhat inadequate mac n cheese

Nice cozy place. Biscuits and gravy was a bit spicy but very good. Slots here too

Ordered the 16 pc family meal. Got 3 potato wedges. Yes 3. Not even a whole potato. Chicken was soooooo dry. Had no flavor. Nothing. Just tasted like crispy grease. Thought we would try it because of the good reviews but first time, last time. I really wanted to like it but I wasted a lot of money for something we cant really eat. Cant chew it or swallow it without a drink. Not worth the hassle of going in the parking lot.
