I can say definitely, either (or both) of those responses are categorically correct. I'm saddened to think of all the lunches I've missed there throughout the years, having just eaten there for the first time. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is old school and the sandwich/menu clearly follows the K.I.S.S philosophy. I will be back and I can't wait. Keep up the great work!

While they also serve hot dogs and hamburgers the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich by far are the best. Chicken is tender and juicy which elevates this entree to the next level. Restaurant the minute you walk in reminds me of my high school years complete with school cafeteria chairs, pictures of Charlie's Angels on the wall, a tv with looped shows from the 70's and 80's... Brings back a lot of nostalgic memories walking in. Only compliant is that serving sizes have gotten smaller but some really great food . Highly recommend this trip down memory lane

Pretty much like Subway. The place was clean and the one worker there was very friendly and courteous. They also had some outdoor seating available which definitely added a good touch. It was a pleasure being in a store where the staff was happy to see you and help you. There were three of us and we all had our own custom made sandwiches. I found everything here to be tasty and definitely fresh. I really enjoyed the turkey sandwich and have always liked the idea of being able to customize it with the condiments that I choose. The bread was really good... Fresh and tasty! Pricing is very fair and I am looking forward to be able to stop by one of their locations in the future. KUDOs to the team at Jimmy Johns.

This had been a diner staple for us given how close it was to our house. Creekside fit the bill and we were able to get in and get a table. Ownership changed and while menu had the same items, items were prepared differently. We opted for lunch given our favorite breakfast item was slightly different. Sandwiches were OK but were mainly bread and lettuce with very little bacon. Restaurant was not busy but we waited a long time for our food and had to ask about our food. Wait staff were friendly and attentive and came over several times to refill our drinks and make sure we had what was needed. This is a diner but one thing we liked in the past was the outdoor seating and holiday decor. Deck was closed as it was in need of repairs and no holiday decor. Would go back but would try something different.

I walked i, and didn't realize it was a 'seat yourself' place, so I stood around waiting to be told to sit, and I felt a little silly. No one told me where to sit till I asked someone, and it was busy, so it took a good 5-10 min before I had a seat. When I did, I was served fairly quickly considered it was totally full! My meal was great- a nice American breakfast with an omelet, hash browns, bacon, and toast. Coffee was refilled regularly, and everyone was nice. I left full and satisfied- maybe a touch over-full. The place is fairly bare bones, and the ambiance is nonexistent, but people go here for the food and not for the scenery. I can't even remember anything about the place, except that there is a back dining room, and the one in front where the cash register is.
