We had to eat and decided to give this place a try. Nice, comfortable place with friendly staff. As you are waiting to be seated, you are tempted by a cold case with lots of homemade sweet goodies. I was hungry and wanted to try everything. Hubby wasn't that hungry, but he still ordered something. We started with a mixed munchies plate. This came with chicken strips, fried mozzarella sticks, and pierogies, with a side of marinara sauce. They had four daily soups. They all sounded really good. I had chicken and orzo, and my husband had cream of chicken (I think). The soups were amazing. It had big chunks of white meat chicken. I really wanted some beer-battered fish and chips. I was told the regular cod fish and chips were not beer-battered, and only the haddock was beer-battered. I opted for the haddock with French fries and corn. Hubby ordered Philly cheesesteak flatbread. The mixed munchies were good. I don't think I have had deep-fried pierogies. I think I prefer the steamed ones. But these had a good flavor. The haddock was huge. I sent a picture to my kids, and they commented that only the head and tail were missing. . . lol. . . I hardly ate any fries, but hubby said they were crispy, hot, and tasty. Hubby got his flatbread to go, and we ordered a strawberry shortbread cake to go. We had some of the cake as a late-night snack. It was okay, but I don't think I would get it again. I was thankful that hubby wasn't being "tight" today. I didn't even have to ask him to be generous with a tip. He said, "It's Mother's Day, and she's working". Sorry, forgot to snap a pick of the philly and the cake.

Place was recommended to me by a friend, so I'm paying it forward...enjoy.

They've been serving classic breakfast and brunch for over 30 years, so yeah... they're doing something right. At this point, it feels less like a restaurant and more like a local tradition. Good people, great service, and food that always hits. We keep coming back not just for what's on the plate, but for the whole vibe (and the familiar faces). Even the interior is fun to look around, there's always something random to notice while you wait. And the menu? Plenty to choose from. But trust me, get the fries. Somehow, they taste and the texture is better here.

I ordered a soup of the day, it was manhattan soup and the clam texture was my fav. The flavor of the soup was also very good, nd it had potatoes.

The chicken salad sandwich was a bit bland, but the smothered chicken cheese steak sandwich was pretty good. But the omelette and the burger was top tier. One bathroom but i didnt get to go.

Not the prettiest location, across from a car dealership, but please don't hold that against them. It was quiet inside on an early weekend morning, not quite bustling, but it did pick up as we were leaving. The food and service are what a local diner should be about. We were seated quickly and the food came out hot and fast with a simple but delicious home made flair. We enjoyed a Vegetable lovers omelette and a simple side of potato pancakes and of course, some fresh coffee. The menu had a wide selection of options that would make the fussiest eater happy. Will gladly return when I am back in the Moosic area.
