Excellent food, good quantity, gives a homely food feel. Women there ensure that food is served the same way they serve for a family. Staff spoke well. Definitely a go to place for people who eat outside food frequently.

That is paid private parking not related to the diner. There are not many spots that are free in the area surrounding the diner. There is mainly metered street parking.
