Decent food, nice town location. Happy someoneone is open Saturday although they decided to close their doors sn hour early and turn many potential customers away. Busy and usually full around lunch on Saturday. Waited a long time for coffee refills and anything else we needed at our table. Typically really like this diner but theyre hit or miss. People we were with ordered steak and eggs and said it was really good. Well be back again because we like supporting local; just stay open the hours posted on your door or place a notice that you are closing earlier to avoid upset feelings.

The food was decent but it took us almost an hour to get our breakfast.. either they are low staff in the kitchen or the chef must be weak. for such a small spot the service should be much better.. at least the servers were friendly.

We ate here 3 days in a row while on vacation. The food was excellent, very reasonable prices, and great service. Our 6 year old refused to go anywhere else after the first day. Well definitely be back.

December 22, 2022

Our second visit to this breakfast spot. First time a few years ago we waited well over an hour for our food and ended up leaving because it took so long. The restaurant wasnt busy at that time. Today, the restaurant was busy, so we were expecting to have to wait - no big deal. We sat, ordered our coffee and breakfast. While waiting, after ordering, several other tables were sat and their orders were taken. Well after an hour of waiting, three of those new tables were served before us. The same food we had ordered. We again left without eating. Will not be giving this establishment another chance. Its a shame because there arent many other breakfast options in this town..

December 22, 2022

Second time we have tried this place for breakfast, both times we waited for menus, both times we placed our order only to wait forever for drinks and food, both times we watched multiple tables get served that were seated after us. Head to the breakfast beacon for much better service. Also the place was an oven the day we were there, no AC. We will never be back sadly, we support all other local restaurants in the area but this one I would avoid.

Hot and fresh everytime! Highly recommended!

December 22, 2021

It was pouring rain and my family and I just wanted a nice warm meal. We went to this diner and were greeted by a hostess/server just shaking her head no and saying were at capacity. No offer of where else to dine, takeout or waiting for a table to become free. We were simply told no service. I would like to give the server the benefit of the doubt and assume she was overwhelmed with the restaurant being at capacity, however, part of me believes that it was simply because we are a family of colour that we were offered no service and no assistance. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was just an overall disappointing experience.

December 22, 2021

Food was decent, but nobody is asked to show proof of vaccination, and I was sitting shoulder to shoulder with a stranger I didnt know. When I inquired about not being asked about proof of vaccination I was told, that everybody signs in, the waitresses wear masks, they know most of the people that eat there, and sometimes they are too busy to ask. Sorry rules are rules, we wont be back.
