Was recommended to eat here by a hotel guest services representative. I came in and sat down since it was self seating. Waitress asked what I wanted to drink and I asked for coffee. She came back with coffee and asked if I was ready to order. I asked for a few more minutes which turned into 10 mins or more (maybe?). I had to flag her down and asked to give my order. It really wasnt busy I was under the impression she was doting on her regular customers. I finally got my food. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with hash browns and 2 eggs over easy, rye toast with a side of Bacon which was extra. The chicken fried steak and gravy were delicious and you cant really mess up eggs. However the rye toast was burnt and the hash browns were bland .. no seasoning no spice or onions.. the bacon was ok but not worth the $4 for 3 slices.. as I love a good local diner or hole in the wall place to eat .. this diner was mediocre at best.. I'd try another restaurant next time ..

I ordered the biscuits and gravy because it said it was their own gravy. It was terrible it taste like every other restaurant that says they make their own. Took three bites paid for my meal and left. Waitress did not even ask me how my breakfast was.

South of the border omelet was excellent!! Perfectly cooked and potatoes were great as well! Waitress was very attentive and friendly and the place had a very mild atmosphere so noise levels where very low which was nice.

This diner offers great food with a welcoming atmosphere. While service can slow down during rush hours, it's still manageable. It’s been a while since I last visited, and I’m glad to see it’s still affordable, even with a slight price increase.

The food was well-prepared, served warm, and packed with flavor. Seating is self-serve—keep an eye out for tables with a green sign, as those are available. I wasn’t sure how it worked at first, but a kind customer helped me find my way.

Cozy diner, friendly/welcoming staff, good food, & walking distance from truck stop/parking. Meat skillet & pancakes were delicious. South of the border skillet tastes a little north of the border 🤣 stick to American diner classics.

This was mine and my husband‘s first time there. We both got breakfast. He got biscuits and gravy with poached eggs. His poached eggs were not quite runny and his biscuits were a little dry, but the gravy was awesome on it. I got the corned beef hash I asked for my eggs to be cooked crispy when they came out they were not crispy. They actually went back to make it again to try to get it right. The second time they came out was perfect. I’ve never had service like that where restaurant actually try to remake my eggs to get them right this restaurant is definitely gonna be worth a second chance. Our waitress was super friendly and nice very sweet.

Past by this place a thousand times without ever going in and finally went in and was not disappointed. The food was good and got plenty for the price. It's an older building, but that's what makes it unique. It's the first diner I ever saw with a drive-through as well. I think you have to call your food in to use it, though. Otherwise, it would be a wait.

I wouldn't recommend this place after my experience here. I walk in sat down before the one that walked in. She ask me what I want to drink, Then went to the guy that walked in behind me asked him for his drink. Then she went to serve him his drink and meal before me after I was there ways before him. Then kept talking to him as my food was sitting up there waiting and was cold when I got it plus the onions in my hashbrowns where just as cold then she brought me my soda. Very piss poor waitress. I never left a tip either as I wont be back there. It was the best when the blond girls owned it. Now it sucks....... Machine shed beats this place......

I really enjoyed eating here. The waitress with the short purple hair was really nice and helpful. My friend that was with me has a dairy and gluten allergy and she was very patient answering all their questions. The food was crazy affordable which is almost unheard of these days. You get a generous portion of food and it was very good. This place is definitely worth checking out.

If you're not a local then good luck getting good service, or even service with a fake smile. When we went in there was only 2 other tables. Very clean like the old diner feel, but when both of your servers are complaining over by the juice machine and won't even smile at you when your awkward friend makes a joke to try and get the server to smile followed with snotty you mean scrambled. Hollandaise was extremely thin and mostly butter so had a great time the next 2 days on the toilet along with asking for my eggs to be poached hard to receive them medium then asked for them hard cause it already took long enough cause they got busy and we were put on the back burner, because we weren't regulars, you know the regulars will be back you should try to gain new customers so needless to say will not be back

We have been looking for a good breakfast spot for over a year. Finally found it! The omelet is AN ACTUAL OMELET! So many places in town mix the ingredients in the eggs and fold it. I call that a folded fritatta, not an omelet. The prices are great, too! Love this place!
