I think our total bill was less than a single plate at the Omni, for 2 breakfasts and 2 beverages. I think we were in around 10 AM on a Saturday. There was one server and maybe one person in the kitchen, so service was really slow. I had eggs, toast, hashbrowns and orange juice. Decent sized portions, really attractive prices, everything was hot. I love a good diner so was overall a happy camper. I think they prefer cash, but they did have a card option.

I decided to take a gander and see if they were still I. briskness and seeing that they are, and that the menu doesn't look like it's changed a lick in some 15 years, I had to share my experience.

I've worked in the industry for years have a pretty tough skin. But sad to see a local business run like that. Do better for your community and staff.

With that comes rolls which are equally high quality and fresh, not obviously reheated from a fridge like your fast food chicken establishments. I wish I could speak more about the sides, but the mashed potatoes are so on point I've never had anything else. Location is a bit tight for parking-mind your timing when you go. It's near the university and I've been stuck in traffic when they block off the roads for football games. Also note hours-they're closed Sunday and Monday and aren't open late.

However, my experience there left a bad taste in my mouth and it wasn't just from the food. The waitress was phenomenal, friendly and efficient. I visited with my mother and one year old son, there were no high chairs but now worries because I held him and fed him. The waitress was super friendly and engaged with my son, and mentioned to the owner something along the lines of getting a few high chairs in the establishment and the owner commented that it wasn't a baby/child friendly establishment. Now, I get it, everywhere is not- but this place? Interesting as I didn't see lounge listed in the description. I was shocked and offended that it was said within ear range of someone who just spent money in the establishment. I guess "down home" for these folks don't include children. Which is fine, Della Js and Milk and Honey are closer, family friendly and the food is always on point.

Cheddar's was nearby, and we hoped that the traffic situation would be resolved by the time we finished our lunches. (It was). We were seated quickly, and were given our menus and two yummy honey butter croissants (gratis, 440 calories). I opted for the Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad ($12.49), which features lemon pepper chicken, penne pasta, romaine lettuce and croutons (860 calories). My rating for this dish is 3/5. It was fine, but a little heavy on the dressing, and light on the chicken. It was as advertised, but a bit boring with so few ingredients. My husband opted for the Chicken Alfredo which was served with garlic bread ($14.79). This dish also included penne pasta, broccoli, and homemade Alfredo sauce (1,540 calories). My husband also rated his meal as 3/5. He said it was good enough but feels that Olive Garden has similar meals that are a better value because they include unlimited salad and breadsticks. We were seated in a booth in a separate room on the left, that felt quite isolated. In fact, if another couple wasn't seated near us, we not have seen our waitress or the activity of the restaurant again. Finally, a personal pet peeve for this and some other restaurants .... There has been increased pressure to tip more generously. The suggested gratuity "provided for your convenience" on the receipt first listed 22%, then 20%, and finally 18%. The old standard of 15% seems to have disappeared. Parking was free and plentiful, and provided easy access to/from Plank Road.
