    Amazing food, people that worked there was so kind and helpful everything they recommend was so good. It was very affordable for what you got. Home made pie knocked it out of the park. If I lived closer I would eat here. I highly recommend this place.

    Gina rocks the flat grill. Totally understaffed today but she maintained herself like a pro.

    We stopped here for lunch recently and had a good experience. The mini burgers, Kentucky hot brown, and chocolate shake were all great. The service was excellent. The seating inside is limited to 5-6 tables and seats at the bar. They do have a nice patio area. I would recommend the patio area for ventilation. They were cutting onions while we were there and unfortunately, our eyes were watering by the time we left. They have parking on both sides of the restaurant, but can be tricky backing out onto the busy main road.

    We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon late February because we were in the area and wanted something new. This is a very small establishment you walk in and it's old-school diner probably 10 booths if that to sit at and you just walk in waitress walks over to you takes your order I got the club sandwich and it was decent not the best I've had but I'd give it a three my wife got a jalapeño burger. She gave it a three daughters got hotdog and a cheeseburger. They both liked it. I'm gonna give this place four because of theuniqueness of how small it was and just had a nice comfy feel to it
