Fresh off the griddle

Food was good, the high end of what you expect at a diner. Hotdogs were very good, the accompanying fries were excellent! Also, the salad was fresh and crisp (believe it or not), the ice tea was good and quite strong. Currently the posted hours are 8am to 10pm. Definitely worth the stop!

Repeat customer. Photograph shows my partially eaten chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Delicious, and the chicken pieces were tender and juicy. A couple days prior, I had the spaghetti with meat sauce which was also worth ordering again. Open until 10pm, and yes, they do Togo orders.

Peak classic diner vibe. Food was hot, fast, and delicious. Seat yourself with tables, booths, and bar stools. Attached to truck stop and convenience store completes the real Americana. We got Apple cinnamon pancakes (so fluffy!), scrambled eggs, bacon fried egg and cheese on English muffin, French fries, and chocolate cream pie. Husband said strawberry milkshake was the best milkshake he’s ever had.

We all three had breakfast and it was delicious and a LOT of food. Restaurant was very clean right down to the bathroom. Our waitress, Alyssa, was the sweetest and patiently answered all our newbie questions. Can’t wait to go back!!
