    Chewy stake

    Poor customer service. Average food. Ask for stake and eggs. Requested the stake medium cook. Got over cooked, had good flavor but was very chewy.

    Real sense of history walking through this place, a real retro charm and ambience. A testament to those who sacrifice for and serve us. The food was delicious. The only problem is had was that the tables were old and wobbly.

    Belgian Waffle with Fried Chicken
    Jessica S.

    Mom and I went to breakfast at Pappa Yolk's because she has been wanting to give it a try. When we walked in we were greeted and sat shortly afterwards. The restaurant was very busy which is a good sign! Started with coffee which was fresh and steamy! Momma had the waffle and fried chicken, when it came out, it's not how we thought it would be, and she said my goodness this is a lot, looks like I will have leftovers. That was not the case! She is a little thing and ate just about everything, said it was sooooo good! I had the whole order of French toast with bacon and added two eggs. Here I was thinking the same thing that I would also have leftovers and that was also far from the truth! French toast was good, a little thin for my liking, but that is a preference. One of the three slices of thick bacon was so salty, I couldn't eat it, and momma and I each had an egg! While there customers were constantly coming in and they were on a wait as we were leaving. It's not a super small restaurant either. Lots of decor all over the walls.

    The cramped no COVID precautions

    I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a go. I walked in and it was a seat yourself place. The restaurant had no Covid precautions you sit next to anyone. I would have left but there was not that meany people so I sat down scanned the menu with the wrong code on the table and waited and waited I tried to get 2 waitresses attention and finally got one of them on the 2nd attempt when I put my hand out infringe of her. I ordered the hashbrowns cooked lightly and a meat lovers omelet. The hashbrowns where so over cooked it was not even close to being light and the omelet was to salty to eat. I left 75% of it on the plate and left. Will not be back

    I really dislike having to do negative reviews but hopefully this helps. Honestly the single worst breakfast I've had in my life including all restaurants, family and friends who've cooked for me and times I've settled for waffles from a box. 3 different dishes for 3 different people and only 1 somewhat enjoyed their meal.

    Well I'm back here! And as always what a delightful setting. This place is amazing! The staff is amazing your greeted with a smile and treated like your family! I've enjoyed eating here. You won't leave hungry that's for sure!

    If you are looking for a mom and pop diner, then Pappa Yolks Grill is the place. Word of caution, the waiting area is very small and you are likely to be standing outside if packed. The inside looks like a local dive spot. Ok, the food. My honey had the egg and chopped steak. His opinion, the chopped steak is enough for two people and the hash browns were made to his liking-crispy. Only con to the chopped steak is that it could of used more seasoning. Overall it was good. I had the spinach omelet and it tasted homemade. The cheese had to be kraft because of the flavor. Kuddos to not using cheap cheese. Pricing is very reasonable. If you ever been to Kelly's , Poppa Yolks is way more reasonable and the portion size is reasonable. You will leave full. One thing I will note is that they do honor the Police and Military. kuddos

    We wanted to do breakfast at somewhere different today so we decided to drive up to this place -- mistake! Don't understand all the good reviews. It's a remarkably large diner -- crowded and LOUD. The parking lot was full. We shared the bacon & cheese omelet. Not up to Denny's standards. We won't be back. __ We've eaten out every meal for 30 years

    Breakfast Taco
    Misty A.

    Large parking lot. Inside is very spacious. Greeter was nice and sat us quickly. It is a breakfast lunch restaurant. Lots of options. Very loyal to emergency workers and soldiers. Nice diner vibe. Free Wi-Fi. Breakfast taco is huge pancake huge! Salsa super spicy. They gave about 5 pieces of bacon. For the portions prices are great!

    Great spot, large inside so hardly ever a wait. The Pros: The food is good. Good homestyle country cooking. The Cons: The coffee. It's so bitter and taste almost burned. That is something I always experience when I come here so I think it's just the type of coffee they have. I load it up with creamer and sugar to make it passable.

    Eggs Benedict with hashed browns and grits! Yum!!!

Randomly found this in between the airport and our hotel via yelp and I'm so happy we did. You can tell it's a local hot spot and its reputation speaks for itself. The inside is "small" but enough to sit at least 20-30 ppl. They have kiosks to order, you take your number and they call out your name when your order is ready. I was really impressed with the amount of items on their menu and know if I lived anywhere close my bad would be wide and my blood pressure high. The workers were very kind as well, I made a change in my order nearly 5mins after I ordered and they were gracious in accommodating my request which I very much appreciated. We had: Strawberry cheesecake Açaí bowl - 10/10 - it was perfect in every way. Bits of cheesecake, granola, strawberries and a drizzle of honey. This bowl alone could feed two people and three wouldn't be a stretch. I also had a strawberry vanilla soda type drink that I wish I got a larger size of because it was so good. Think a float without the thickness, it was refreshing and unique. Caramel Pecan Dream - wow 10/10 - it was so RICH and the consistency was amazing. The little bits of pecans were the perfect contrast to the creaminess of the shake itself. Burger and sweet potatoes fries - 10/10 - they do classics well too, no real notes but it was delicious.

I had read some reviewers stating that the food was bland, but my guess is because they are so used to very seasoned/salty foods. I, however, eat fairly healthy and rarely eat out so this was actually not too bad. It wasn't salty and within my ballpark of what I would normally eat at home. The rest of my party enjoyed their meals as well with one having bacon and hash browns, others having eggs with cheese, and pancakes. They had also stated that the coffee was delicious. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The inside of the restaurant is what you would expect from a diner. Not overly decorated, but seating was comfortable. The restaurant also has a shop where you can purchase stuffed bears and desserts, such as cream pies. I was tempted to try one, but thought maybe at another time. Hopefully will return again in the future to try another dish like a sandwich.
