Great little main street diner for breakfast and lunch. Try the Greener (vegetarian) sandwich with a side. I had the BBQ Pulled Pork and fries. Staff is very nice and service was great. Store Front location in the middle of town. Expect like 15 for a lunch and a drink. I will be back.....

10/10 experience. The waitress was a sweetheart and definitely earned her tip. My wife loved the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, my toddler daughter usually refuses to eat at all at restaurants but she had a little bit of the Mac ‘n cheese and ate some of the fruit. I had the fish and chips and they were perfectly breaded and delicious, only suggestion is to serve with 2 cups of the tartar sauce instead of 1 and serve with 2 lemon wedges. The T90 mule was absolutely delicious and a must try for mule fans. The pickletini was good but too strong for my taste but that’s on me. Excited to go back!
