What a hidden gem! The exterior is nothing special but the inside feels like home :-) Friendly service and fantastic food. I had the TLTE. The sandwich had the best turkey bacon I've ever had. My husband had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The bread on or sandwiches was super fresh and delicious. There is actually a sign that bread will not be sold as a loaf. I could see going there just for the amazing bread alone. The pancakes were served with authentic maple syrup and even though the heat wasn't working in the restaurant when we went there, I can't possibly give less than 5 stars!

One of the best, if not the best breakfast diner I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Their food is apparently locally sourced, and is certainly delicious. The waiting staff were attentive and the environment friendly. If your looking for an amazing breakfast experience, I'd recommend going here

The food was pretty darned good, and certainly worth the prices charged. Generous portions of home-type cooking with a twist. My son loved his wrap, and our grilled sandwiches were excellent. But the service was the best! Tara, you completely made our day! I love going to a place where I feel welcomed by someone who knows exactly what she's doing, with a smile and a sense of humor and total knowledge of the menu.

What a welcoming and warm place! It vibes coming home and eating a home cooked meal. I had the meat loaf and my husband had the chicken fried steak. Mashed potatoes arent available until after 4 pm so we made do with French fries. The star of the show was the blueberry pie with ice cream. It was a drive but we would do it again

First time coming here, I have to give them grace because most things here are cooked from scratch. The potatoes tasted undercooked. My husband enjoyed his breakfast and my crab explosion omelette was decent. They prefer for you to pay in cash but they do have a credit card option.

Salad breakfast spot! This was a great diner. I’m gluten-free and they had Paleo pancakes, which was great. They had great portion sizes as well as great tasting food! I came here after picking up my friend from the airport. It’s a very short drive from there if you are coming from or going to the airport. The service was a little bit slow, but once the food came out, it was all good. Seating was a bit limited. The two of us got a spot at the bar, but there were definitely people waiting for a while for a table.

Overall, it was just okay. It’s a spot where there are regulars, but not a food destination. Staff are friendly, prices are good. Philly (chicken) sub was solid, the chicken sandwich came with nothing on it, just bread and chicken. Fries were terribly bland.
