Excellent egg salad sandwich and potato salad served on crisp bed of iceberg lettuce. Really good au jus. Onion rings are perfectly crispy. Iced tea is tasty. Fast service. Clean and ample seating area with plenty of space between tables. During cold weather can be slightly cooler inside but the food is so good it makes up for it.

Buffalo chicken perfect, crispy light breading, juicy, tender. Curly fries were some of the best fries I've ever had, crunchy out, soft and fluffy in. Will definitely be back.

The food was outstanding! I had the chicken portobello pita with the hot chips. My husband had the Ruben with curly fries. Homemade chips and fries were incredible! The place looks like an older diner with lots of seating for a small place. Will definitely be coming back!
