Quaint restaurant, friendly staff, and awesome breakfast. Clearly a local favorite. It was busy, but worth the wait. They were quick at table turns and kept things moving. The country fried steak and pancakes were great.

Hands-down, one of the best diners I've ever been to. Their cinnamon rolls are out of this world!

Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at SNDTRAVELS and EATWELLTRAVELOFTEN.We love to find these kind of small town places. Friendly people and good food made from scratch.Diane had the cod fish sandwich with fries. The fish was thick, tender, crispy and flavorful. The roll was soft and fresh. The dries were hot and mostly crisp.I had the all-you-can-eat fried chicken special. I could only eat the original 4 pieces she brought out but it was still worth it. The chicken was not crispy but more of the original KFC with its very own blend of seasoning that soaked all into the meat.We both had a cup of the bean & ham soup. While thinner than we both care for, the flavor was good.They even put our picture up on the "wall of shame".Overall,, highly recommended two thumbs-up
