Cute little hole in the wall diner. Potential to be amazing if everything was made from scratch.
The fried chicken lunch special was very good. The sides however were terrible. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes, the gravy was a weird color and congealed. It was so questionable I didn't even give it a taste. The broccoli had been sitting in water so it was mushy, and they didn't even bother to allow the water to drain before scooping it onto my plate. The macaroni and cheese wasn't too bad. It tasted like it was a box mix or maybe they used the artificial cheese slices to make it. It wasn't terrible, if you need a Mac and cheese fix, it'd work. The cornbread and roll were both a bit tough and dry.
My aunt had the breakfast plate; bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast and a side of biscuits and gravy. The bacon, eggs and toast were good. It's hard to mess those up. The hash browns looked WEIRD! She did pick through them to find several black slivers of potato throughout. She didn't even attempt to eat them. The biscuits and gravy were also a miss, as it tasted like the gravy wasn't homemade either but tasted like it was packaged.
It's just disappointing because these are all easy fixes! All of those "instant" items can be made from scratch easily, inexpensively and would taste amazing! There's potential but they need to do the work to get there and skip the short cuts!
