Great little diner. The staff are always extremely nice and great to talk to. The food large and filling. Everything you would expect in a hometown diner. Best breakfast I’ve had in a while!

Went for Friday night fish and it was great. Staff is super friendly, great prices and variety. Hope you can continue being open in the evenings.

Great local favorite. Tip: Look like a regular and don't wait for a menu even after you've gotten your drink order as soon as you sat down. The menus are in pockets under the table so you can pull them out quickly and you won't slow the very busy but friendly servers!

These kinds of restaurants are the best kind. Was with my parents and we did a late lunch. The server was super friendly. There are a few food items I judge restaurants by and this one was the pork tenderloin. They did a great job and it hit the spot. They even have fried mush on the menu. Do not pass this gem of a restaurant up for one of those chain joints.

Great classic diner food!Over easy eggs were perfect.Biscuits and gravy had great flavor.Their home freeze potatoes was great very well cooked with crunchy edges and soft middle.Their dinner menu with the smothered chicken was delicious, well seasoned, great flavor. Love the sauteed onions and mushrooms with mozzarella melted over the top. Wonderful mashed potatoes with great tasting gravy. Texas toast was delicious. Not really loving their green beans and onions. But I don't often like green beans in the first place.Side salad was fresh with Crispy lettuce tomatoes and green peppers.Their omelet was interesting. It has great flavor, but the veggies aren't mixed into the eggs. I also think it could have maybe used some cheese, but my husband thought it was great. And since it was his food, I guess that's the important part. LolUpdate went back and their breakfast was amazing the place was busy but still got our food out to us very quickly.Chicken fried steak was amazing I would go back for that over and over again.Cinnamon roll is wonderful!!!

This restaurant is family owned (Ben Sr., Ben Jr, and Angie). I had the fish basket and it was perfect in every way! I will be back again. If you like lots of really good tasting fish, look no further.
