Great little hometown diner! The food is fabulous and the staff are inviting! Stop in for the cauliflower cream or cowboy bean soup, both amazing!

We’ve recently moved to the area and have been to this place twice. Both times I’ve had the California chicken burger with soup and both times it was delicious. Husband had the taco salad and the mushroom seafood fettuccine. Both visits we shared mozza sticks. No complaints on the food or service. Both visits we had Nora….. excellent waitress with a good sense of humour.

Fast service and cheery employees. Plenty of parking as well. Tried the South West Hobo with a biscuit. Portions are huge but I ended up eating the entire thing it was that yummy! I will definitely be back to enjoy more of the menu.

Always a treat when I get to come here. The food is delish . I had the burger steak breakfast. My favorite is the French toast breakfast. the service is always fast and friendly. The restaurant is always clean and nice looking with big hanging baskets outside.

Hidden behind the shopping center is this very nostalgic cozy little restaurant. Definitely made me feel like when i was a kid growing up on the east coast. Just walking in and the look and smell and the decorations made me think about my grandparents. I loved that they decorated the whole restaurant and even hid easter eggs for the kids to find on their way out. Very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The staff were very sweet and friendly. The food was great and fairly priced. Would definitely visit here again. You guys did a wonderful job.

My wife and I eat here about every other month. Quality food and friendly service bring us back. Country fried steak is always my choice. Good portion sizes. Very few times have we had to wait to be seated. Waitresses check on coffee refills frequently.
