Basic neighborhood restaurant with excellent food and a delightful waitstaff. Home made sourdough bread for my BLT. Prices are very reasonable. Excellent HOME MADE desserts (pecan pie is my favorite). Soup and sandwich combo a bargain. More

We ate breakfast here before heading out for wine tastings, and I am so glad we did. The place had great food, great prices, and friendly staff. It was a comfortable atmosphere and it felt nice to hang with the locals. A breakfast for two cost us less than $10, and it was so worth it! More

This is as close to a home cooked meal as you will ever get. I've had all sorts of good dinners here and the price is spot on. A very nice, and clean diner with excellent service and excellent food. Try it! You won't be dissapointed! More

I can't count the number of lunches I've enjoyed at this well-run, affordable, unpretentious place. Look for their daily specials. More

Waited over an hour for our dinner. Place was crowded, but we waited it out because of the good reviews of this place. I was surprised at the popularity of this place, given the so-so quality of the food and service. More
