This old-fashioned dinner satisfied 3 generations of diners! My husband was delighted to be able to have liver and onions--not often offered on menus anymore--and loaded with bacon. He had a very nice, and modestly priced, glass of wine. I loved the crab and avocado eggs Benedict with LOTS of crab and LOTS of avocado. My mom's favorite is the turkey dinner made with thick-cut slices of turkey. My nephew inhaled the berry waffle! To begin with, I wasn't happy with my hash browns, so my server talked to the manager who immediately brought me a replacement serving. I thanked him, and he said, "Of course, it's the right thing to do."

Delicious, I was in a hurry, my breakfast was made in a snap and it was good. Service is great.

When I found this restaurant online, I described it to my husband as "a step up from Denny's," and I wasn't too far off! It was a very cute and cozy American diner with all-day breakfast items and quick service. We're thinking about returning to try their other menu items sometime.

My first time attending this location. The waitresses, both women & men were extremely kind and attentive. The food was amazing as well, atmosphere was welcoming and a good noise level. I would definitely come here again.

Hit or miss when dining here. Service has been nice but runs slower than avg (multiple occasions). Food tends towards good, but asks questions when trying something new... don't have really high expectations. Avoid really busy times, tends to be better when there isn't a huge crowd.
