Our Guestbook
“ The food was what your looking for when your really hungry. The waitress was super kind and very accommodating. Must have on the weekend. ”
“ Arrived with family on an overcast Sunday morning 9:30 am. Fairly busy but table still available. Table service was prompt, friendly and helpful. Our food came to the table from the kitchen in about 20-25 minutes. All the food was good and the only minor issue was needing to remind them about the sugar free syrup. A reasonable place to have breakfast. ”
“ When we want to get together as a family for brunch, this is our go to spot. Being a large group has never been an issue at this location. The staff is always really friendly and accommodating. The food is always consistently good! We always try something different and have never had an unpleasant experience. ”
“ Arrived on a Saturday morning at 10am with a party of 5 and was seated immediately! Our server was quick to get our drinks and order started. We ordered orange juice (which is made fresh) and it was delicious! Pancakes are enormous, if your hungry this is the place. Plate portions are big. All the staff was helpful and friendly. This restaurant is for the whole family:) ”
“ Been back many times and food is always decent diner food. My only update is: get rid of the canned green beans. We've never opted for those as a side and my partner wanted pot roast so when the server suggested mashed potatoes and green beans he just said yes. I know she was trying to be helpful but he never would have selected the green beans when he was already having salad. He would have been happy had they been edible. I took one green bean and knew instantly they were canned. Just awful and mushy. Plus they're served in the liquid. Like, who does that?! If you can't just cook up some fresh green beans then you shouldn't have them at all. My update is just to avoid those. ”
“ The waitresses are great. Good Americana food. The blt was good the bacon east so crispy that it fell apart and not limp. It's a thick cut bacon with just enough mayo, lettuce is crisp and tomatoes were Firm. The onion rings were crispy and not greasy with real onion ring not chopped onion. The club was filled with layers of meat and they served a lot of fries! The restaurant was clean. ”
