  This is a nice diner, old style and charming. It was pretty crowded on a Saturday, so we sat at the counter. I had steak and eggs (good tender steak and perfect eggs). My boyfriend had the hungry mans special, said the rye was excellent. Overall very happy with the food. Thought the prices were fair. We are camping nearby but this is exactly what you expect from a small town diner.

  Update: we've been back twice. Food has been okay/good. Although in my visits since the food is noticeably greasy compared to my first visit.
  Staff is okay but not nearly as nice as the first experience. Last time we went we sat in the only clean/cleared/re-set of three booths and were completely ignored. Some guys came in 10 minutes later, sat in one of the other booths and were greeted/asked about drinks almost immediately. I peaked over like "what the hell?"... the girl seemed to notice and brought us menus. We were told by a waitress to sit in any of the open booths, so it's not like we weren't initially noticed - which made it more annoying!
  
  Have had to leave our table to find someone when we needed something else after the food was dropped because they run away (has happened in both visits since our first).
  
  Pleasantly surprised. Went this past Saturday and FINALLY got in. The exterior is deceiving - it's so bright and airy. Omelette was filled with bacon, cheddar and broccoli and NOT greasy!! The cheddar was just melted enough to pull when I cut it but it was not overloaded, perfect. Potatoes were cooked nicely but a little bland. I had to salt the potatoes and omelette (would have given 5 stars if the food had just a touch more seasoning). Asked for the toast well done and was happy to see it cooked well. Waitress was adorable and very nice. Coffee mugs and large OJ were good size for price. Mixed fruit Jelly is a bonus for me, I've mentioned it in previous reviews.  BF liked his breakfast too.
  
  Menu is limited but has all the standard breakfast options.

  I went here a few months ago despite the bad reviews. I live somewhat close but travel to Walmart nearby and it would be nice to get breakfast here. First time: foods good, service ok. Second time: foods good, again. There were only a few people in the restaurant but my waitress decided to seat her screaming child (grandchild?) directly behind me, paid no attention while the booth was rattled repeatedly and the child screamed in my ear. Guess it was bring your kid to work day. I checked out - $14. At least the food is cheap. Third experience: this will be my last time. I was seated in the corner next to a group that was absolutely screaming at the top of their lungs at 10am. This was the worst breakfast I've had in my life. I wish I had just left. After multiple attempts to reach my table, which was blocked off by a group of non-patrons that decided to visit their friends at breakfast, I finally got my menu. My fiancé and I ordered our exact same breakfast, which was $14, except this time she didn't order a juice alongside her coffee. For some reason, my bill was $21. I ordered a $4 breakfast sandwich. We had two coffees. I was charged $4 for my sandwich, and my fiancé was charged $14 for hers. $14 for a breakfast sandwich. Don't waste your time .....,

  The food here is good and typically so is the service.   However, there is one waitress working at this restaurant who is...well...unfriendly and the service she renders is terrible...If this waitress does not like you, she makes it VERY obvious by her mannerisms and by the fact she fails to check up on you and or offer you free refills on any of your beverages. It's truly poor customer service when you see this said waitress conversing with other customers; being loud and obnoxious with them and offering to fill up their beverages, while you are waiting for a complimentary refill of which you should NOT have to ask her for.  
  
  With the above being said, I give this place 2-3 stars...When you don't receive exceptional service with your food, no matter how great the food may be, it truly reflects poorly on the restaurant itself!  Although, I have been there quite a few times in the past (and today 12/16/17), after an awful experience like this, I am not sure I want to go back... It's truly a shame that the owner and the other great waitresses who work there need to be included in a review that is being submitted on the account of one; an ill mannered and unfriendly waitress.

  So we tried this place this morning, and Krystyl LaCoille reviewed them very fair based on how felt the food was. I gave them a 1 star because of how I felt the food was. She was very polite and formal in her review. And we didn't want anything for free as we never do. The waitress was very polite abd apologetic and said shw wouldn't charge us for the cooks mistake. (The whole omlet) but then only took off the ham. Do not go to this place as you can see the owners careless and slandering reply. Pathetic.
