Although the sandwiches are quite large for a mid-day meal, they are delicious, and worth the stop. I had the crab cake sandwich--wonderful! She had the reuben, which was good, but placing the sauerkraut on the bottom made the bread a bit soggy. Service was good, and atmosphere friendly. A good stop mid-day.

I haven't eaten anything but breakfast here; that said, the breakfast is absolutely wonderful. Great selection, great coffee, great sweet and savory options.

I stopped in for lunch on a weekday. The place had a good sized crowd but there only appeared to be one person waiting tables. Service was slow. The food was average. Definitely not worth the higher prices. The atmosphere makes it so you can easily hear the conversations around you. The couple next to me commented that they wouldn't... More

I can't believe Joe"doesn't" know all. said there is nothing special about this place. Out of all the breakfast places we have eaten at. . . and there are many. There is no breakfast food better than this around. Lunch isn't bad either.

They have a very good breakfast with better than average coffee, not quite coffee shop quality but much better than the usual dish water one gets at a breakfast place. This goes for many of the other ingredients too like bacon and bread. Lunch has good sandwiches and soups, never been disappointed. Dinner takes them totally out of the Deli... More

There is nothing special about this place. You will forget it the moment you walk out the door. Located on main street.

My husband and I enjoyed lunch while visiting the area. My husband had the Reuben Sandwich and I had the turkey sandwich with cranberries and cream cheese. It was outstanding! The restaurant was very busy but we had great service. Hope to visit again!

Last few times I've been here it wasn't so great...but my most recent visit was really awful....used to love this place for breakfast. The oatmeal pancakes (which is why I tried it again) were really greasy....I felt like I'd just eaten at McDonalds after having one!! My dining partner got the "hash brown rounds" as he doesn't care for the... More
