Sunrise breakfast was perfect: crispy hashbrowns, nicely browned onions and green peppers, fresh mushrooms and crispy bacon. Great, friendly service. 3 stars for atmosphere only because, you know, it’s a diner; it’s all about great, simple food!

I got the Open Faced Hot Beef and it was as big as it was delicious. Seasoned and slow roasted brisket was incredible. The wait staff was extremely friendly and I will be back.

The food here is delicious and the portions are large, especially the biscuits and gravy. Biggest biscuits I've ever seen. If you are ever in town stop in for breakfast. It's sure to please. Waitress was a sweetheart and the prices aren't bad for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be back.
