Not sure I have ever seen an adult working, but these "kids" know what they are doing and provide great service. The food is good. I have had burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, fries, onion rings and tots. I have to say that I am not a fan of the root beer. I like root beer and don't claim to be a connoisseur, but know that in-house recipes can sometimes be a bit different than the traditional canned sodas. Also, the onion rings are good, but I am a value seeker and can get a hamburger or other entree with meat for $2-$3 less. Paige's has now become one of our Dunnellon stops when in the area.

For the past four months I've passed by so many times and say next time. Today was next time…read more I wanted to love it. But I can't. I ordered a single cheeseburger, small fry and a root beer. Wish they offered a combo of some sort as it was $13. The root beer was my pull to come here (obviously!) and I had such high hopes. Unfortunately it was flat and tasted watered down. It came straight out the tap and my mouth was watering waiting for it. Just didn't taste good, maybe my expectations were too high. The cheeseburger was the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. It wasn't horrible but I was expecting something to sink my teeth into. It was just simply "ok". The French fries were the highlight. Hit, crispy, yummy. That's the best part of the meal. The atmosphere is like a diner and I was met with a very nice young man who greeted me and pleasant. The service was quick. They had Christmas music playing and I was about to read a book while enjoying my meal as I as the only one there but shortly after I sat down a guy came in and chatted away on his cellphone which was on speaker (no etiquette dude!). I don't feel the price tag matches the meal I ate. But kudos to the hospitality!

What we found was a quaint place that was really busy The entertainment of the evening was a gentleman who was a one man band, and almost everyone there was a part of the fam club. He was pretty good. We had fast and friendly service, and placed our orders for thr grouper platter, Fried and the Filet mignon, Medium. We got sides of salad, fries and beans and rice, Nawlins style. The food was delicious! My steak was perfect and rhe grouper was delicate and tender. Its a little hard to get into and out of at peak traffic times. We'll be back

Not sure how to write this review without sounding critical but I wasn't thrilled with this place…read more I ordered the catfish dinner with slaw and it wasn't like any I've had before. The catfish was thick chunks of fish with no breading or flavor. The Cole slaw was a creole slaw made from raw Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots and kale. I couldn't eat either. The server was nice to take half the price off the bill. Not one of my favorite places.

My husband tried the steak and cheese hash, which was a philly cheesesteak in breakfast form with home fries.

We were welcomed as we walked in the door and able to choose from a variety of tables/booths. They stop serving pancakes and waffles at 11 am, but all other breakfast items are available until 2 pm. The selection was exactly what you would expect from a diner: a few standard breakfast dishes, biscuits and gravy, a few omelette choices and you could build your own omelette. The food was good, the service was excellent and the prices were not over the top. We will most likely be back!
