We placed our order and waited. A few more tables filled. A few tables left. We waited. And waited. And waited. We watched as the tables nearby got served - even though they came after us. A query to the waitress and she responded - yours are next. Then we get 4 of our 6 orders. And waited for the other two. The. One of the orders was not cooked fully, so she then waited. Did I mention it took an HOUR from order to first delivery, and then longer for the two chicken sandwiches, then longer for the re-fire on the under cooked burger. The burger I had was good but in no way worth any type of wait. And the place wasn't even packed!! Good burgers and onion rings. EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE. And really not attentive for a small town restaurant. I would pass on this place. It's good but not worth a trip out of the way, nor worth waiting.

Waitress did not ask if you wanted gravy or did not say our mashed potatoes are served with brown gravy. Meal came with gravy on potatoes. asked for that to go back and plain potatoes to be delivered as it was a chicken entrée brown gravy isn't great with that. When we went to leave, she brought a container of the mashed potatoes with the gravy and said we were going to have to pay for those because I asked for new plain mashed potatoes. Didn't mention that at all When asked for the potatoes to be swapped out. Overall, the diner is very understaffed for the business. There was one cook and one waitress who was serving people, delivering food, taking money for and giving takeout orders and settling the checks for the dining customers. We won't be back.

The main dining room was a basic diner style. All the people working appeared to be busy so we stood there a while before we were acknowledged once we were told sit anywhere we sat quite a while while they continued to wrap silver, filling syrup that sort of things while we waited then eventually they brought menus and took our drink orders. The servers seemed nice but we kind of got the impression we were not regulars and could wait. The food was not great except the burger was very good everything else was not good. The majority of it was your frozen restaurant supply food so nothing special. We asked for the soup we ordered before our entrées but we were told sorry that couldn't happen because they needed to be heated up, sadly when they were served after all of our entrées 2 of the 3 soups were served cold and one was barely warm so clearly they are not temping food. The sign outside said Daily specials and a salad bar however once we were inside we discovered neither was a fact. The chicken strips were over cooked and hard, the curly fries were actually waffle fries the bun on the chicken sandwich was huge but the chicken was tiny and blah, again just basic frozen fair. The bacon cheese burger appeared to be hand pressed and was good. We were never offered drink refills not even on the coffee. We will not be back. We will leave it to the locals. Another heads up they only accept cash or checks with no ATM onsite.
