Been there before and its been decent. Went for breakfast today. All four dishes were cold. Spoke to the manager, he apologized and assured me he would take care of this and then he goes and takes off $13 from a $100 bill? Very disappointing, both, the food and the manager.

I have been in love with their meatloaf until yesterday. They drastically changed their recipe and it's not only very dense but not tasty at all. New cook? ... but everything else was good. They have to fix this.

I was out taking pictures of Christmas decorations and decided to stop here for a Cheeseburger and fries. Nice atmosphere -- big, clean and welcoming. Service was great and food was as well. I've read some negative reviews but I really had a great experience here. Next time I will try something else. I literally only had $20 on me and didn't want to use a credit card tonight. A little pricey for a "diner".
