Food: Blandness bordering boring

Their top-ranked dishes, Buttermilk Pancakes, Hot Cakes, and Fruit Pie, despite being lauded by some, received criticism for lack of flavor and freshness, overriding any charm their fluffiness or sweetness may bring. The perception of value is greatly diminished by the food being pricey against the backdrop of its average taste and poor quality. The menu, while fairly extensive, fails to offer diverse, healthier choices.

  • Large Portions

    Customers appreciate generously large and satisfying portion sizes offered.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed opinions on food: some found it great, others thought it mediocre.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited healthy options; some find the menu overwhelming due to size.

Vibe: Outdated, offish ambiance

The diner atmosphere is perceived as cramped, dingy, and steeped in outdated decor. The dim lighting casts a rather disheartening shadow on dining. Even with karaoke singers outside adding some liveliness, the ambiance fails to make the location suitable for a romantic date. Moreover, the absence of alcoholic beverages doesn’t help the atmosphere, amplifying the diner's deserted and downer vibe.

  • Okay to Entertain

    Karaoke singers outside contribute to a lively, if noisy, atmosphere.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Diner feels outdated, cramped, dirty with dim lighting and dingy decor.

Perks: Poor perks, pressing problems

On the service front, it's a struggle with scarce parking spots, especially over the weekend. The overcrowded, noisy environment, combined with slow, uninterested service and mistakes by wait staff, mar the overall dining experience. For those opting for dietary variations, the menu's lack of options like gluten free considerably diminishes its appeal, despite the openness to dining with pets, and a family-friendly environment.

  • Great For Kids

    Kids menu, family-friendly environment, crayons for entertainment.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Patio nice in good weather but additional shade could improve comfort.

  • Bad For Diets

    Menu lacks gluten free options, not accommodating dietary restrictions.
