Customer Reviews

"If you're looking for good old home cooked breakfast that has plenty of carbs and extra grease then this may be your place. It seems to be very popular with the locals. The prices are very fair and the service was good. NOTE: local checks or cash only."

- Larry H.

"Love, love, love this place! The owners are the best and the food is great too! I stopped in for breakfast lunch dinner does not matter. Just note that they only accept cash or local checks only. It all you have is a debit card there is an ATM next door at the gas station. I highly suggest stopping at your local bank grabbing out some cash and enjoying a good meal with some great locals. When you eat here it's like you are eating at home with family."

- Phillip K.

"This place is so good for breakfast. There isn't a breakfast item you can't get. They have everything. Food is delicious, service is caring and the speed of which it comes out is nothing short of amazing."

"Great little diner, we've eaten here plenty the past few months, the food is pretty standard diner food, not top tier eating but you leave feeling full... sometimes its kinda ugh sometimes its awesome. We went the one night, our waitress was very...ugh. she wasn't rude, she just wasn't nice? Like I'm a friendly lady, my kids are nice and chatty and good mannered, she basically acted like we weren't even there except to do the bare minimum necessary, I expect because there were 3 men up at the bar stool seats for her to chat up and get tips from. Sucks, cuz I'd have gave her a decent tip myself if she'd have treated us like people too. Kinda makes me not wanna go back :("

"We came in to the restaurant as a very diverse group of around 10 folks for breakfast on a Sunday. The place was packed and the whole restaurant went silent as we went to the end of the room to get us seated. The staff was very sweet and diligent and the food was delicious! However, the atmosphere and the staring of all the townsfolk to our group made all of us feel very uncomfortable. We had people of color, migrants, trans and non-binary people on our group and the whole time we were wondering if one of the other customers was going to step up and make a fuss or tell us that we were not welcome there. It was a very stressful and anxiety-inducing experience. Then again, the restaurant staff and food was great, but if you have a different identity consider going at a different time of the day or the week. They also only accepted cash."

- Angela S.

"This is JUST the down home place you have been missing. I grew up in Woodbridge and they have padrinos, THIS is better due to the extensive breakfast and lunch menu. You CAN'T beat the prices too, just make sure you have cash, they don't take cards, but there is a gas station next door with an ATM."

- Sara G.

"Small town diner expectations were met in a good way. Friendly service. Special cheesesteak sub was filling. Hamburger steak was good. Lasagna had plenty of sauce. Salmon cakes were good, but over fried. We will go back."

- Jessica B.
