Look, you know what you are getting for food when you go to a breakfast dinner. No complaints there. But I have made the mistake of sitting on the right hand side of the diner twice in the last month. My waitress, poured my coffee then hovered over me until I gave her my order. (I told her I needed a few minutes to decide and she just stood there impatiently fitgitting.) I never saw this lady again for my 25 minute stay. Neither did her 4 other tables, 1 of which left before they even got order any food. Horrible service from her. The other waitresses were doing their jobs just fine.

New Beginnings on Alpine was our go to, pre-covid; then major mobility issues arose. But this a.m. we decided to try take out; called to place order & phone was busy for maybe 10+ minutes, finally got thru & ordered 2 orders biscuits & gravy with biscuits seperate (a new concept to whoever took order), and 2 orders potatoes & onion. The biscuits were mostly crumbled, gravy was luke warm & potatoes were over done. I doubt we'd order from here again.

I’ve been several times and I love their food. I just wish they had steak on the menu still and @ a decent price.

The food was good, the atmosphere was good. But it was super packed. I've found that means the food is good, but the tables were kind of close together. Our server, Deb was amazing. I'll be sure to sit in her section on the next meal there!

When you go fishing, it's 'jist one more cast'; when you're hunting, it's 'just 5 more minutes'; at NEW BEGINNINGS RESTAURANT, it's 'just ONE MORE BITE! 'This is an amazing, small town diner with multiple locations and a big city business plan. I look forward to trying other locations to see if they are as good as this one!The food... Wow! I ordered a Western Omelette smothered in sausage gravy and a side of corned beef hash with fried onions on top. One word, incredible!Their menu is full of old time classics and Midwestern/Southern favorites.The service... Second to none! I felt at home from the first moment and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with my server. I observed that everyone who walks in is treated like family. When you come in, ask for Deb! She's the greatest! Tell her John sent ya' ?This is a MUST GO breakfast destination.Go early, they are open from 6am- 2pm only.Do yourself a favor and bring your appetite and a friend! Splitting a meal is only $1 more and there is enough for 2+++Go!!!

I love this place! I always get the ham & cheese omelet with potatoes. The portion is huge so I eat the rest for dinner. The staff is excellent. Great service! Take out is available. Delicious food!

Great food, reasonable prices, wonderful service and staff. The person running the register looked like she just rolled out of bed and came to work in her pajamas.

Omg! I just had the largest omelet un my life. It was so good! The price and service was equally as good. I think I found my new breakfast spot.

Food was as basic as it gets. No one wanted to help us until we spoke up.. save your time and money and go somewhere else for breakfast food

Food and wait staff was good, it was only the checkout procedure that is lacking customer service. I feel another register would be helpful. I waited in line 20 minutes to pay for our food.
