While we were seated right away, it took ages to be acknowledged. Our server never introduced herself (receipt showed us her name). It took ages to just get coffee and water. Other servers had to give us refills as she never even bothered. My food was mediocre- pancakes overcooked, grits were watery, and the coffee was burnt. My husband's steak and eggs were very good, though. Hoping it was just a bad day. Well of course give it another chance and hope for better.

We came across this hidden gym on a trip to the Shenandoah. This place really reflects what…read moreSouthern Hospitality is all about. The service was top notch. The waitress was very friendly and very accommodating with recommendations for dietary restrictions. The fried chicken is an absolute must.. perfectly fried and crispy and good balance of flavors. We tried a few other things that was pretty average like the open faced turkey sandwich and the salmon and mash potatoes. I would also recommend getting the gravy on the side and eating everything with it... not exactly sure what is in it but keep doing your thing Southern Kitchen. Will definitely be coming through again the next time we are in town.

Horrible. Waitress was drunk and food was bad as well…read more Went on Friday Nov 28 for lunch. We like this place as it is local and has ( had) good food and service. We were seated quickly and we noticed our waitress was Slow on getting to the tables for drinks and after about 10 minutes she came by and got our drinks. Upon her getting close and speaking it was very apparent she was very intoxicated and I remarked that it was sad about her condition. As we waited for our food we watched her interactions with other tables and she had problems remembering what table was which. She delivered food to the wrong tables and dropped other food on the floor trying to deliver it. Her fellow waitresses were actually calling her out in the middle of the dining room telling her to get her act together. When she delivered the food the hamburger steak platter was literally a dry hamburger patty that was old and had a thimble of gravy. the mashed potatoes were instant and had been poorly mixed because the powder was still dry in the middle. The glazed carrots were old soggy and brown ( see the picture) . We never got a bill because she just disappeared completely. We went to pay and the cashier was able to look up the order and we spoke to her about the waitress needing some help and her condition and all she would say is " we will try"

Based on a local recommendation, my wife and I stopped in for a late breakfast on a recent…read moreSaturday. The place had that classic diner feel--busy, a little old-school, but comfortable. Despite the crowd, we were seated quickly with minimal wait. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. The food was a highlight with two exceptions. The corned beef hash was a standout--crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My pork chops, unfortunately, were overcooked, and the home fries were softer than I prefer instead of crispy. Service really elevated the experience. Our server, Emily, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. This experience extended to all the waitstaff who collaboratively worked to ensure our satisfaction Overall, a solid neighborhood diner with good value, quick seating, and strong service. We'll definitely be back.

The pass.

It's are they open or are they not ! Sometimes we like an alternative over tip tops for breakfast on Saturday! Guess what , closed on Saturdays and limited on Sundays!

The service was quick, courteous, and very helpful. The food selection is vast so definitely ask the waitress from their opinions. I didn't give 5 stars because I found a gnat in my pancakes and the syrup seemed pretty cheap and flavorless. The restaurant was pretty nice for a diner, calm and not noisy.

This is a simple, no frills, pancake egg hash brown coffee kinda joint. This is NOT brunch - it's breakfast. No complications, just simple good food. My boyfriend's two favorite things are the biscuits and gravy and the French toast. He gets it every time and it's always good. I usually get a combo breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage links, corned beef hash and hash browns. Can't be beat! The food is hot and delicious. The prices are totally reasonable so you'll have to wait awhile if you come in person especially on a weekend. Expect to wait up to an hour. If you don't want to do that you can also order delivery which I've done a few times. Overall, this is a great spot for simple hot and delicious breakfast!

Highlights include the 1) eggs: whether sunny side up or scrambled, delish and well-seasoned, 2) accompaniments on the table: jelly, butter, syrup, half and half, sugar, salt and pepper, hot sauce...didn't have to ask, 3) service was overworked but really kind and as responsive as they could be, 4) menu variety: they have something for everyone. Drawbacks: none. That all being said, this is absolutely solid but nothing unique to any diner. (That would be my only suggestion...like Penn state diner has grilled sticky buns...a unique dish would make this a stand-out)
