This is a classic greasy spoon, in all the right ways. The formica table tops and booths take you back to the 70's. I almost gave up at the front door when it stuck but gave it a bit of a shove and it opened up. The lady who ran the front gave me a wave and smile and said to grab a seat anywhere so I took a booth beside the wall facing out. Bit dim but the sunshine made it better. Ordered the hot hamburger with fries. Pretty good meal, two patties, fries covered in basic gravy. Exactly as described, lots of food. Coffee was also pretty decent. Total meal came out to $12 and it was a tasty and satisfying meal.
So: food I would rate as 8/10. Service would be 10/10. The lady was friendly, she took time to explain things and kept things running smoothly. Turnaround time from order to plate on table was about 10 minutes during the noon hour rush. Parking - a small lot but seemed to be enough for the guests.
I would definitely return. It's a good place with lots of working class folks, just the kind of place I like for a diner. -

This is a hardcore, throwback, greasy spoon/ diner and they make no apologies about it. It is what it is and it seems like they have a pretty solid customer base.
In our never ending pursuit of new (to us) restaurants we decided to give this place a try on a cold winter afternoon.
Walking in I thought we had been transported to the 70's lol! It isn't a big space and we chose a booth. Turns out, they probably haven't done any reno's since they originally opened and they only thing heating the entire restaurant was a heater mounted in the far corner. We. Froze. My suggestion? Go while the weather is mild!
The service was efficient and the food was hit and miss. The blending of homemade burgers and sandwiches with store bought crinkle fries. It all still tasted pretty good.
Not a very expensive meal at all and the location is a little out of the way, but you could probably convince me to go back and try again (in the spring).
Don't forget to bring cash with you. -

Come and take a step back in time at this cute little diner. Nothing fancy going on here even the front door was a little rickety, but the deer heads are still perky. I enjoyed a simple bacon and eggs for breakfast and I know it's a good spot good old-fashioned had made hamburger.
Good eats, cheep and cheerful, Cash only -

Oh god this place is a perfect shady diner. Untouched by time and cheap as hell. Greasy spoon, that good diner coffee that you can tell has been brewed in an old pot infused with coffee taste! Ugh. Can't be beat. ***CASH ONLY

Definately a "character" place to attend. It looks just like it sounds, like it belongs in some backwoods redneck area- but the food is super cheap and tasty for the basic fare that you get. I just got the omelette - but for the price the portions were more than satisying and tasty. Not a fancy place by any means but it definately provides an experience!
