But a nice lady outside showed me where it was. You basically seat yourself and the nice waitstaff got my order quick. They are basically a breakfast joint and close at 2pm .

Bill was about 10 excluding tip . Really quaint country diner in a small neighborhood. Folks have it 5 stars and gave it a try. Would come back again .

As we drove to our family dinner when we passed by, the parking lot and surrounding areas were full of automobiles and there was a line going across the street of people waiting to get in. I knew then that they were providing Thanksgiving dinner to everyone in the area. I have often wanted to volunteer for the free meal on Tuesday evenings, but physically can't. They are truly putting their money in the right place and they will be repaid in triplicate. !

Came by here for a quick lunch after work a few weeks ago. Satisfying experience!…read more This restaurant is styled like an old timey diner. There's lots of parking out front and the interior is spacious and has plenty of room for lots of visitors. They have classic American lunch options like hamburgers and onion rings, but they also do plate lunches with a little bit more southern flair. One of their specialties is "broasted" chicken, which is a method of frying chicken using a pressure cooker. For my lunch, I ordered a plate with two broasted tenders, fries, a roll, and a drink. Service was warm and friendly. It did take my meal a decent time to come out, especially since they weren't super busy, but it was hot and fresh when I received it. The tenders were very large and juicy. Broasted tenders tend to not have a very dense batter/coating but what there was I found crispy and crunchy. I do wish there'd been a little extra seasoning/kick to it, but solid tenders overall. The fries comes in several different varieties ("seashore," crinkle cut), but I chose seashore, which I interpret to mean they had Old Bay or some other seasoning on them - whatever it was, it tasted pretty good. The roll was kind of sad and hard but it obviously wasn't the main event, lol. I enjoyed the chicken and fries and it was a perfect portion for a more manageable but still very filling lunch. Worth a try if you're in the area!

Friday 4:22 party of 4…read more There was no wait for a table. We took about 10 minutes to decide. Complimentary bread arrived at 4:30 . Drinks took another 10 minutes and our meals 10 minutes later. So we were eating by 4:50. I guess in the grand scheme of things, that's not bad. I used the wait time to take pictures of the interior. Lots of brick. And pictures of horses. I considered buying a t-shirt but changed my mind. Dad ordered the salmon Orleans. With broccoli and Brussels. It looked amazing. I had the Cajun shrimp pasta. Add broccoli. I enjoyed it. Very good. This business has plenty of one star reviews, I'm glad we didn't have to suffer through one ourselves.

For a Sunday night there was no wait for party of five and there was plenty of parking as well. I have not had many items on their menu but I decided to try the queso chicken skillet this time around. It came out sizzling which was a good sign. I opted to get the spinach cheese on the side which was a good decision if I do say so myself. Overall the chicken had good flavor and was tender. The mixed peppers and onions also added to the dish. I think the queso and pico on top of the chicken is an unwelcome curve ball especially since the pico was cold. Additionally, I loved that I got two sides that came with the entree. This time I got a Cesar salad and fries. All in all we had a great time a the service was great.
