    Tomato Soup of the Day (150-650 cals.)
    Thione T.

    What a cute lil diner. I love that the menu is a newspaper that apparently updates, staff were very friendly and attentive and food was great overall. I enjoyed my meatloaf and they had an option for a dinner size or lunch size, but the waitress was kind enough to inform me that if I wanted a cup of soup I might as well get dinner, so I did. They do soup of the day which I find really fun, today's soup was tomato I greatly enjoyed each bite. Onions were good and I was able to substitute my potatoes for hash browns cause I was feeling it. My friend even got to sub his soup of the day for chili. Very friendly and accommodating on how you want to order/eat. Overall would def come again to try other stuff on the menu! P.S. I will say I was not a fan of the cornbread, but everything else was delicious!

    The lunch and the breakfast is amazingggg here! I've been here several times and they always do an excellent job at what they do. The servers are always nice and the food is always good. The overall vibe of this Diner is very comforting and it reminds me of being in a warm cabin. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

    Welcoming hostess and staff! Let's share what the food is about: *Chicken Avocado Club: 5/5 *Chicken sausage scramble: 2/5 - although it was supposed to be on the healthier and it was a lot of food and the egg whites were overcooked/mixed with a little yolk. It also had a lot of cheese. *Cinnamon Roll French Toast: 3/5 - they had a nice portion, but I think it needed more frosting. *Southern Scramble: 4/5 - not much to say here except that the biscuits are really, really big. The place was really quiet. There wasn't a line when we came in. We really enjoyed our food because of the service. We will definitely be returning and appreciate everyone for being so kind and friendly.

    OUR Biggest - The GRIZZ, check out those hash browns.

    The food was great, especially the hash browns with cheese and bacon!! The burger had bacon chopped up on it so you got bacon in every bite. The pancakes get a thumbs up. Brigette our waitress talks fast but had a good attitude.

    Chicken Fried Steak Omelette (1170 cals.)

    We came in on Saturday morning and the place was packed. There was a 25 minute so we opted to eat outside. Our server, Kim, was pleasant and attentive. Although the restaurant was packed it was not too loud walking through to the outside dining room. The portions were large and we couldn't eat all of our food. The biscuit itself was a meal! And both dishes weee delicious. There is an extensive menu so you can order pretty much what you want. We will definitely be back.

    House salad (I had already eaten a cucumber slice)
    Isaura C.

    We have been here for breakfast and it was good. We stopped by for dinner and the food was pretty sad. We ordered the chicken fried steak, chicken strips, and kids chicken Alfredo. The chicken fried steak had ground beef texture with a really hard coating. The chicken Alfredo was dry and the noodles looked and felt old. The chicken fried steak came with a house salad and that should have been an indicator of how the rest of the food would be. It was missing all the regular "house salad" stuff. Place was pretty lonely, I thought this would be a good thing because mornings are always so busy. Now we know. Come for breakfast but nothing else. The staff was nice and the fountain drinks were great.

    Build your own with link sausage, eggs, and red white and blue pancakes (upcharge jut worth it)

    Yum! I have eaten here twice now and plan to make this a habit when here for work trips! If you have been going to the ihop nearby, this is your improvement. After several slow service breakfasts without a single refill and average food at best I figured it can't hurt to try something new. This place has kept me loaded with fresh iced tea. They greet and seat you as soon as you come in. The breakfast is HUGE, delicious, and very well presented. I didn't even finish half my first meal- eggs that weren't overdone or made from a powder, sausage, potatoes, a huge biscuit. Stuffed and ready to start the day. Today I wanted something. A little sweet but still some good savory- the sausage links were so good and these pancakes hit the spot. If you come here, you'll leave FED.

    It was a very tasty meal and we were seated quick even with a packed restaurant. Our waiter was really nice and we left full.

    Snooze has clearly put a lot of thought into their menu. Their wide variety of options is matched…read moreby the deliciousness of each dish. You can't go wrong with the Bacon but Different (brown sugar and cayenne, what a combination!) or Burrata Toast, but I'm a simple brained American who prefers a good pancake above all else when it comes to brunch. The customized flight pancakes check all the boxes for me: presentation, portion size, and most importantly, the flavor. It's quite large so I recommend sharing with someone else. Not a fan of the Protein & Veggie Egg White Scramble... I feel like I played myself by choosing something healthy at a place meant for indulging, but why even have it on the menu? The rest of the menu items taste too good to have this as an option. All in all, it's quite impressive for a restaurant chain to serve food of this quality. Can't wait to visit another one near me.

    I drove over to Snooze after the first place I was trying to check out was not open but they were…read morelisted on Yelp as if they are (eye roll). Snooze is a solid go to, so I drove out of my way to get here. I remembered I had a coupon in my inbox which was still valid so I decided to partake of the pancake flight. I didnt eat in because I wasnt feeling like eating at the time but I knew I had a taste for pancakes. After placing my order online, I made phone calls and took care of some business affairs. When my promised order time came, I entered in. There were 2 people at the front check in- one for dine in and another for pick up. With just three people in the area plus crew members the entrance was congested. I looked around to see if possibly there was another area for pickup, but I saw packages of other food at the front entrance, so I was in the right place. I would suggest that pick up maybe be at the bar- much more space and not having to wait behind diners to be checked in and taken to their seats. That's not a grip, but the bacon is. Soon as I opened it, I saw that it was burnt. Maybe one slice wasn't. I don't eat bacon on a regular anymore, so when I do, it has to be worth eating. This was not. I don't live in the area, so my discovery at home did me no good, but at least the pancake flight made up for this major hiccup with the bacon. Pancakes were delicious. I loved having the variety and the portion size was just right. Probably my favorite was the Strawberry Shortcake. Least favorite was the Pineapple Upside down-because the pineapples are neutralized in flavor when placed in the pancake. The cinnamon roll pancake was okay- little too much cinnamon so it tasted powdery; syrup saved the day. Since I used a coupon, I didn't go too hard on the review, but I would dine in and see if I have these same results and of course, bring it their attention while dining concerning my dissatisfaction. Still a solid choice for brunch, but I'll be paying attention more on my next visit.
