Two guys were playing pool at one of the 4 pool tables. Then someone referred to as the "Queen" came in & sat at the bar. She "appeared" to be helping the server at select times, but not in order of need, rather in order of preference. She lacked any customer service skills for serving the public. I have been in the customer service business for over 30 yrs & this woman wasn't even close. She gave the impression of superiority over everyone & her tone made it clear she was doing everyone a favor. She ruined our night when she chose, for heaven only knows why, to blast the music to the point of danger of hearing loss if endured for too long. It was excessive to the point of being rude. We packed up our things & waited by the bar for at least 20 minutes. The Queen was above serving us; she finally acknowledged us only to say the bartender would be with us shortly. We left & I told the bartender that we would not be back. I told her it was not her fault, though.

Just that burger that even if you are not having a drink you stop in for cause it's better then anything fast food or homemade will do and the prices are good? Take away the bar part, make it a little out of the way drive thru shack that you'll miss if you don't know it's there, and you have Dandy Burger. Everything here is delicious. They make sure to use the right kind of bread if you order something besides a burger, like their Patty Melt which is just mouth watering when you smell it cooking. They are the friendliest people to. Their hours are short, but that makes it even more special because you have to get there before hours close or your stick with no other good burger option until the next day, and no one gives you so many fries that you'll never finish them like Dandy. If you don't have time when they are open, make time. If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your days.

An overall terrific place to eat. The staff provides wonderful service, and makes sure that you are completely enjoying your meal, while not hounding on you about it. The food itself was amazing; it was made quickly, but retained all of the quality a good homestyle cafe should have. It was delicious and I felt full and happy by the end of my meal! Not only that, but the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and had a homey feel to all of it. Definitely going to be coming back soon read more

I recently took my sister here for her birthday breakfast and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and they had great food, and good prices. My only complaint is that I ordered a side of fruit, thinking I was making the healthy choice over hashbrowns--they gave me a bowl of canned peaches in corn syrup. Not my idea of "fruit", but everything else was so great that, who cares!? read more

We found this place after specifically searching for gluten free options. According to their…read morewebsite, they said they were "best in Salem for gluten free." This is absolutely not true. Website states they have gluten free pancakes. Nope. Gluten free chicken and waffles. Also nope. Potatoes are not gluten free due to cross contamination. According to the waitress, the website is very outdated and incorrect. The main gluten free options were to sub toast or bread. So I ordered the gluten free French toast. It was very bland and disappointing. My partner ordered the chicken and waffles (no gluten allergy). After ordering, we sat and waited 15-20 minutes. The waitress then came over and stated they were out of chicken breasts. My food was already ready by the time they realized they didn't have the chicken. So he had to reorder while my food sat and waited. He did however say the chicken fried steak was really good, and that's the only reason this place got 2 stars instead of 1. Overall, highly disappointed and will not be returning. Do not eat here if you have celiac or gluten allergy, as you will have very limited options. Their website is clearly wrong.

(Pro tip: A side of their very tart strawberry jam elevates French toast to new heights.) The coffee was ho-hum, but what do you expect, I guess.
