Large portions of food!!! One can feast 2-3 meals on their portions! Such a friendly serving staff. The owner and his family treat you like they have known you forever. Large dining area can reserve large parties or host events there.

My son wanted their breakfast for his birthday. We came several years ago and had a very positive experience. We forgot about them... until now. So happy he chose this diner. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, the atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly and even helped us and money with ordering a meal. The decor is outdated, but who cares- the experience was timeless! Keep up the good work

This place has been in business for a really long time! The staff are so friendly and actually care. Every time I go the food has been delicious! They have a case full of desserts The special tonight was spaghetti and meatballs. My favorite thing to get here is any turkey dish, and the French onion soup ! If this place was closer I would be there every day!

This place has a classic diner vibe, they pretty much knew everyone that came in the door (except us of course) the waitress was so down to earth and one of the kindest that I have ever experienced. The food was of the home made variety and out of this world tasty. If you are in the area make sure to stop at this place.

Two adults ate a great dinner meal here on a Wednesday in late afternoon in early February. They served typical diner food—tasty and plenty of it for a reasonable cost. Both of us had enough food left over for dinner the next night. We definitely would go back again if we lived in the area. The service was pleasant and quick. Cost was about 37 with tax less tip.

Classic home cooking, attentive and down to earth staff. We visit here often and love feeling at home. Everything is tasty and they feed you a lot! We often get the chicken Parmesan to go and it’s a meal for 2. Their burgers, tuna melts, western omelets, pancakes, broiled fish, fries and home fries are all delicious.

I wish I could rate this amazing family Diner more than five stars because they absolutely deserve it. You are immediately welcomed upon entering and you feel like your right at home. During a week stay in the area we didn’t find this place until day 3 and that is our only regret. We wish we would of found this place on day 1 and have enjoyed the time and love they give each and every customer (they make you feel more like a family member) that enters their doors. The woman who I believe owns and/or runs the place is the BEST, she remembers everyone’s name, order- I felt like I was in the Cheers of Diners. She knows everyone, so cool and makes everyone feels loved and special. Not many places these days make you feel like your patronage matters. This will be our forever go to place to eat whenever we are anywhere in the area. And the food, absolutely the best omelettes I have had while living here in Florida (if available, a MUST to try is their Italian sausage and pepper omelette-AMAZING!!!).
