“Sad excuse for a diner.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

I can't believe people gave this "diner" such great reviews. I had dinner and it was just awful. The decor and atmosphere is friendly and inviting but my dinner had me wanting to run out the door. My chicken parmesan tasted canned and old. The pasta was extremely cheap. The sauce was clearly canned- and it was meat sauce! On my chicken parmesan! The garlic toast that I received tasted downright mildewy. The shake and fries however, were tasty. My guess is their menu is too large- and you must have to know the right thing to order. However I still have a nasty taste in my mouth.

“Good place for a family breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We have gone here for breakfast twice with several members of my family. The service is fairly good and so is the food. The diner look and feel is kind of cool also. It won't become a favorite of mine when I am in town, but I won't stay away from it either. I haven't tried lunch or dinner though, only breakfast.

“Great breakfast Horrible lunch”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Breakfast there was great but their lunch and dinners are simply horrible. I wouldn't recommend going there for lunch. And even though their breakfast is great it could have been priced better.

“I Love This Place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The 1960s theme is something I really love, and this restaurant has that in spades! The decor, the music, and even the waitresses are authentic looking 1960s.

We were there for breakfast this morning, though we've done a lot of lunches there as well. The food has that home-cooked taste, and the waitress was quite friendly, which has always been the case when we're there.

I had two eggs over medium, bacon, and cinnamon raisin toast. They got the eggs just right again; they've not once sent them runny like other local places sometimes do.

The price is right, and they have a frequent diners card as well.

Wonderful for a nice quiet informal meal anytime.The decor is lovely, the service great, no nonsense and a wide variety of options.We especially recommend the breakfast options. There are themed "nights" in the summer for bikers etc which adds to the ambiance.Great place!
