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.....
Cute little hometown restaurant, service was great, food was good, clean and neat
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!
Came for Prime Rib Friday and it did NOT disappoint . Love that the meat is high quality from local butchers . Staff are welcoming and attentive . Defiantly will be a regular dinner spot.
Nice little restaurant with friendly staff and good, homey food. I enjoyed the 2-2-2 with substitutes.
Very cute breakfast, lunch spot! I have the mushroom burger and fries, very well priced at 12 dollars. Delicious home style burger!
I have eaten in this place several times now very amazing food. Awesome customer service it's definitely worth visiting.
My food was delicious and my party with me loved theirs. Everything was fresh tasting. Service was fast, and the waitress was very nice. Nice prices as well.
