“ A friendly restaurant that has an amazing breakfast. I went big - the Truckers Special. You cannot go wrong with it. Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and pancakes. When the hostess sat me at the table the first words out of her mouth were, “Would you like some coffee?” - music to my ears and no wait whatsoever. I highly recommend this place as a great place for great food. ”
“ The sweet potato pancakes were ridiculously good. The wait was very long, but in their defense, it was mid-morning on a Sunday. Downside was the bathrooms that needed some attention. ”
“ Decent food, decent prices, great service, nice atmosphere Wife had breakfast which was done well and I had the club sandwich. It was disappointing not to have real chicken BUT they certainly had a lot of it in the sandwich. ”
“ First time I've been back since they remodeled. It looks great, and modern decor. Bar area has lots of TVs. I ordered the Philly cheese steak with fries and it was delicious. I try one everywhere I go and it's one of the best I've eaten. I'll definitely be returning. ”
“ We stopped to refuel the RV nearby and saw this restaurant. It reminded me of the Truck Stop Restaurants back in the 70s when the food was good, ample, actual waitresses that ensured your coffee was filled and the price reasonable. We had the breakfast, Sure beats any fast food joints that surround this area. Thank you! ”
