    Navy bean soup
    Dawn S.

    Food was good. Meatloaf a little dry. Soup was delicious. The Menon coconut cake was perfect. My server Aiden was excellent. Nice clean diner with spacious seating. Ambiance is friendly and not hurrying you out. Great place!

    We had a very good experience when we visited for breakfast. The diner is impeccably clean and appointed with all the typical decor you would expect. There is a beauty of a dessert case as you enter across from the door, interested in coming back on a future visit for something sweet! Speaking of sweet, our server was super friendly and welcoming. Interestingly the egg based combos come with 3 eggs - most diners come only with two. And the prices are all reasonable. Service was fast, the only significant opportunity was that all of the food was almost unseasoned and bland... nothing that some self added alt and pepper. Plant fix though. Perhaps they err on the side of caution given the more eh... elderly clientele? I'd for sure recommend this place. Give it a try!

Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal. I had the open‑face Turkey Reuben and the portion was definitely shareable and very good. My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.

Soup came with - my cup of Chicken Pastina was very good and tasty. The salad was pretty good but the steak needed more flavor. The 1000 Island didn't taste homemade like at most other places I dine. They had a decent crowd for a Wednesday night. Their dessert case looked amazing and I heard two tables ordering cake and Oreo cheesecake!!! I hit the bathroom before heading out. Nice decor but dirty and a fly was hovering around. Sweet server named Emma was probably the highlight . One and done for me - sorry.

But the service that is amazing and all the smiling staff here make up for anything that I don't see on the menu. The place is really well put together and is a very handsome bar it's mostly very wooden and heavy duty. The ambience is something for everyone on the TV or you can just chitchat. They even have this little side room that is nice but beware and bring a coat or a sweater cause it does get chilly in there. They're always seems like a really great group of people there and our favorite waitress is KB/Kristen. She is truly amazing and very attentive, but not annoying. We love their chicken fajitas and steak fajitas, the Cheesesteaks are delish! But My Newest Favorite for the Moment..... is the "We Jammin Burger". It has bacon onion Jam on it and it is amazing! I didn't think that I would like it as Much as I do! But I Realllllllly Do! I'm not really a burger fan... like my husband Is, But THIS BURGER..... has been a Game changer for Me. Warning: Make room in your fridge... because You will definitely bring leftovers home. This meal can feed a family of 4 Easily!! Their Cajun quesadilla is delicious and it does have a nice little zing. Their traditional wings are amazing and their beef stew is delicious and very hearty. We have tried many of their specialties. The Hail Mary is a delicious Caesar salad on top of chicken cutlets and their Broccoli Chicken Cheesesteak is amazing. I recommend you get it pressed on the grill and that way it won't fall out as you bite each delicious bite. I would say 80 to 90% of the visits that we have had at this amazing establishment. We always bring home leftovers. So be aware that you were going to have lunch for tomorrow. You will get to the point where you will just think of something to eat that they have on their menu and your mouth will just start to drool. We definitely recommend going. I'm not a huge drinker so I really can't say much as for their drinks but everyone there seems very happy and the portions are huge. I definitely say try it, what's the worst that happens you have leftovers for the next day or two lol It is my husband and my favorite new place that's been around forever Hey, maybe we'll see you there

    Decided to try this diner as we were indecisive on what we wanted for dinner. We walked in and…read morewas greeted promptly. We were sat down in the middle of the restaurant right behind the bussing station which wasn't ideal (lots of traffic and noise of the cup stacking). The menu was extensive, which sometimes just as bad when trying to decide on what to have! We decided on the turkey dinner and the vodka chicken parm. Each entree came with a soup or salad and a dessert. I got the tortellini soup and my boyfriend got the salad. Great little side salad and the tortellini soup was very filling. Our entrees came out pretty quick. Both entrees massive! The vodka chicken parm had two large chicken cutlets. They had just the right amount of coating, and the chicken was not too thin or too thick. The Vodka sauce was to die for. My turkey dinner was very good and hit the comfort food spot I was looking for. The only thing is I prefer a brown gravy but overall, still very good. We each got a slice of cake and brought it home as we were stuffed from our dinner. We had a ton of left overs. They all heated up well the next day. Very much enjoyed our food. Will be back!

About a week ago, we came and Brooke, our server was amazing, so, we decided to come back.... We have had several "poor service and Not good" visits in the past couple months, but trying to be "understanding" to people being Busy.... Etc. But when do The excuses Stop? Other servers were busy, too and they still took care of their tables and also, IF our server was slammed with a Table of 8-10, wouldn't you ask for help or ask for another server to just check back on us... this is How they Make their Money! It was More than 45-50 minutes before we even got our food and I got Up to Pour my Own coffee refill because our server literally never came back, but she was serving and caring for the huge table sh was Sat with. Where is the help?? Nowhere. That's where. When our food finally came out a few minutes ago, after waiting almost an hour, the toast was burnt. Most of the food looked disgusting and our server said to us we're still waiting on the sausage so clearly no one put the food in. I'm not sure if she forgot to enter our food into the computer, but this was completely inexcusable and all she kept saying was she's so sorry that she was with the other table. Well, we get it if you're slammed, but why wouldn't you open your mouth and ask for help when there's tons of other servers just walking in circles they could've stopped on by we got up and left and we will not be returning. I don't care if Jesus Christ himself comes down from heaven and says to return now I have to go home and make food for myself and my husband and I am now hungry, which didn't need to happen.

We were able to get one of the last booths in the restaurant. It is pretty small inside and there are about probably 10 or so booths and a small counter. Our server came over and greeted us with menus and a specials menu. We were thinking we would get a burger as that is what they are known for besides ice cream. We saw that adding lettuce, tomato, and onions was extra, so we decided on just getting the California Burger medium, which has all of that on it. For a side, we ordered tots. On the menu under burgers, it says add fries for $5, but that is also the price for fries and tots if you order them all a carte. Our food came out pretty quickly. Our burger looked like a premade bubba burger or patty from Costco. It was cooked to our liking but it somehow felt mushy. The tots were nice and crispy. We ordered a fountain drink and a boost. For $26 for a burger, tots and two drinks I felt was a little much. I think we will stick to ice cream in the future. This place is cash only and their restrooms are outside of the restaurant.

    Definitely visit for amazing breakfast if you're in the area…read more We ordered a coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, a Mexican omelette, avocado toast and waffles. Coffee was okay. Juice was really good. Omelette was great. It was a bit different, good different, from what we normally have at other places, couldn't exactly point out what but definitely to be tried. Avocado toast was amazing too. So were waffles. Overall, loved the food. Coffee can be better. They never came for coffee refills, so not sure if they do that. We saw the pictures online and thought to explore for its vibes but the vibe of being there doesn't get captured well in pictures. Can't stress enough. Service was very good.

The restaurant was not crowded, and our party of 6 was seated right away. The restaurant is tucked back in a neighborhood area, and has some private parking around the building. The decor is like that of a 1950s diner. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our waiter appeared to be relatively new to the job, but he fulfilled all of our requests and was friendly. He would always get us a refill or more of something whenever we asked. We ordered a few starters of the Spinach and Artichoke Dip and the Mozzarella Sticks. Everyone in our party enjoyed both dishes! The dip portion was generous. We asked for additional chips to finish the dip off with and we were able to get them. Some of the various dishes we ordered are pictured - The Godfather, Turkey B.L.T. Deli Sandwich, Nachos Supreme, Tuna Salad Club, Sicilian Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Noodle Soup, and the Trio Salad Platter. I personally had the Trio Salad Platter, and really enjoyed it! It was a nice and refreshing lunch that was not too heavy. My favorite of the three was the tuna salad. We all sampled each other's dishes, and there was not one I did not like. The portions were large and very good for the price. I do believe the value is there with anything ordered from here. We definitely had leftovers to enjoy later! I enjoyed my visit to this restaurant! I would like to come back in the future to try their breakfast, and also more of the menu. I would recommend if you are looking for a nice spot to grab a bite with a small diner feel.
