We go here about once a week, so obviously we like it. It's what you would expect of a diner; low prices, good food, fast service, and a variety of options to eat. The food may not be exceptional but it is very good. You'll get enough to satisfy your appetite at a good price. An added bonus is the oldies music that is played while you dine.

Good place for after hour hunger. Food is good, but take to long.

Classic American diner. Great food. Casual, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent service from friendly, courteous waitstaff.
