Dec 24, 2025"I was passing through town and was referred to this restaurant by a local. We stop shortly afternoon on a Friday and had no trouble getting a seat. Everybody that took care of us was super friendly. The place is nothing fancy but, the food is absolutely perfect. I like to consider myself an expert in patty melts, they had the best patty melt that I’ve ever had and I have had… Hundreds. The thing was huge and really tasty and was less than 10 bucks with a giant pile of steaming hot fries. It’s a small town and kind of out of the way but if you’re stopping through you should stop and get a patty melt. My wife had the pork tenderloin which was also quite good."

Dec 19, 2025"I enjoy the new restaurant so much more than the previous owners! The wait staff will talk to you, smile, and not try to run away. The food is so much better tasting and they don't substitute something fake to make it taste edible (ie, mashed potatoes and gravy, hot beef sandwiches). I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!"

The service was attentive; my coffee was refilled twice. There are booths and table seating available, and the prices are reasonable."
