As a guy passing through; I can only assume the locals know the story. I have to summarize that the old man cooking is the owner. Maybe his wife is taking orders, and daughter helping out.

The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming which sets the stage for a good meal. The food has been consistently very good as well. This was the second time within the span of a month or so we've stopped here. Both times, those in our party selected different menu options and have been pleased with their choices. The portions, prices, and quality are all very good and encourage future visits. While the floors could use some sweeping, the place is otherwise quite nice. Prices do have a service fee attached if you choose to use a credit card/debit card as payment in lieu of cash. They do seem to encourage people to pay via cash and do have an ATM on site. (Which to me defeats the purpose if ATMs have fees attached too...) I would suggest giving this place a try. It is a great option to sit back and enjoy your meal. We were able to comfortably chat without having to compete with noise- the first time there was 6 of us, this time just 2 of us. It is a family friendly atmosphere and I would have no hesitation bringing children.

Today, a coworker and I visited and I had a cowboy burger -- pretty simple burger but it was amazing and I'm not sure what made it so tasty. Cowboy burger has an onion ring, two thick-sliced tomatoes, a piece of lettuce, and crispy bacon. I asked for the barbecue sauce on the side. Plenty of terrific fries came with my burger. My coworker had the turkey club and said it was delicious. Neighbors on our sides had cheesteaks that looked -- and they said tasted -- amazing. This is a popular spot at lunch and sometimes, like today, there's a slight wait for a table but it's worth it. The kitchen is small and there were at least five people in there whipping up basic but tremendous tasting food. I'll be back ... probably the year after next for another great meal.

The bartender, Ronny, has great service, fun, inviting, remembers his customers, and always ensures you have what you need. I have tried both their breakfast and lunch and have not been disappointed. For this specific visit, I was here for dinner visiting Ronny and I ordered their Broiled Stuffed Trio. Seafood stuffed Icelandic haddock, mushrooms, and shrimp. The fish was moist and flakey, the shrimp tender, and the mushrooms plump and juicy. The seafood filling they used tasted like a mix between a crabcake and crab dip. There was too much for my taste on the shrimp and mushrooms, so I scraped some off and reserved it to eat later as a snack with ritz crackers. The meal also came with the soup and salad bar where there were a variety of soups to chose from, and everything in the salad bar was fresh and crisp. Currently rated at a 7.2 on my Beli, I enjoy this place for the food and budget friendly meals, but also for the excellent service that Ronny always provides.

At first our waitress seemed stressed/irritated and short tempered because we had literally just been seated and not had an opportunity to open our menus to even know what kinds of drinks were offered. (Please note we have someone in our party who has significant dietary restrictions.) She seemed to soften a bit as the time went on. One person in our party got wings off the salad bar which had feather roots still intact, indicating poor quality control. The rest of the soup/salad bar was fresh and well stocked. The facility was clean that we could see, with the exception of one of the individuals in our party received a menu that the pages literally stuck together and she had to peel them apart. (Thank God for hand sanitizer.) While the experience wasn't bad altogether, it didn't inspire us to become repeat customers either. It was just average. Perhaps we will return in the future and hopefully we'll have an opportunity to increase the stars in that future review.

I went in with high expectations based on previous reviews of the food, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to them.

For the prices charged, the quality was disappointing. I ordered the Country Mix, which was quite tasty, but one good meal out of three is not enough for us to return. Sadly, we will not be back.

Although my partner claims to make a better at home, she still enjoyed her post-ultramarathon meal.

Only one kid finished their meal. The Florentine omelet I ordered was done nicely, and the home fries were definitely filling. Our server was friendly, quick and attentive, making sure our coffee mugs were sufficiently warm, which is always appreciated. There also seemed to be a salad bar, which we didn't visit, and otherwise it was a standard diner atmosphere.
