I'm not a yelper, but my experience at this diner prompted me to create an account.
On a sunday afternoon, there were about 4-5 other parties at the diner, very vacant. You would expect to be taken care of quickly and frequently, but that did not happen.
To start off, you only get 1 free refill on sodas which cost $2 and they come in an small 12oz glass, which I found to be ridiculous. Water comes in an 8oz glass.
My waitress was extremely lethargic and acted like it was a chore to take my order down, like I was inconveniencing her. That put the entire meal with my family into a down mood.
I got the open turkey sandwich which was ~$10. Normally with diners that is fine because they give such heaping portions, but not here. For the amount they gave, it was worth $5-$6 at most.
The turkey tasted very very old and the mashed potatoes that came with it had to be instant they were so runny.
Worst of it is that my brother saw the waitress take a fry off the carrying tray and put it back into his dish. She also had her fingers in the food when she was placing it on the table.
I never even got a refill throughout my entire time at the diner. Which is bizarre to me because the waiting staff was in full view just sitting around talking with each-other.
When told that the food was not good I got "Well, all our food is made fresh everyday" there was no attempt to right my displeasure. My family essentially threw away $30 because none of us were able to finish even half of our dishes.
Being locals, we know that this place is a trap for out-of-towners coming right off the scotrun exit and those staying at the great-wolf lodge. So that must be why they are still in business.
Bottom line: Waiting staff is unfamiliar with how to handle plates and does not understand not taking food that fell off the dish and putting it back on. Wait staff seems annoyed to be working there and do not seem like happy people. Food is not prepared well, even for a diner. Prices are high for the lack of a diner portion, probably high for tourists from the city who are used to high prices.
I am never returning to this diner and I suggest you don't either. If you're looking for a diner in the area I suggest Snydersville diner which is about ~10 miles away. They give great portions (for the same prices as this place), the food is actually good, unlimited refills, and the wait staff is a pleasure to interact with. read more
