Fantastic food spot! Typical diner style menu with breakfast all day. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. All of our food was fantastic and plated well. Love the appetizer options and food ranging from burgers to Turkey dinner. Definitely give it a try.

It doesn’t look like much on the outside but does give you the 50’s/60’s diner. You can get Breakfast all day. Great comfort food. Homemade dessert. 80 Years of Diner service. Milkshakes are to die for. Just Fresh homemade shakes.
