    This place is awesome! We are locals and we've been here for breakfast at least 5 times. Never waited more than 15 minutes for our food after ordering. Service is great! Food is great! I love this place.

    I had the chipped beef and my wife had eggs and home fries. They were both very good. Our server Kylee was very helpful. She was constantly checking to make sure we were satisfied with our order.

    Met an old friend here for lunch, stayed and talked over coffee for quite awhile. The food was delicious, and quantity was excellent. The service was excellent, our Waitress never rushed us, and continued to refill our coffees with a smile long after it was clear us 2 old geezers were not going anywhere. The place was clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. The fresh desserts on display looked amazing. I will be back with family, and highly recommend it for friends.

    Traveling for work and I wanted somewhere close to the hotel to eat. Viola! This was right across the street! I went in for a later dinner and was immediately seated. Jesse, my waiter, was very nice - chatty and pleasant. The specials looked great - stuffed peppers, beef stroganoff - and the menu offered a wide variety of choices. I stuck with a stand-by: mushroom Swiss burger and onion rings. The burger was cooked to perfection with a perfectly toasted bun. So much cheese and mushrooms it was dripping off the bun with every bite. The onion rings were some of the best I have had: fried perfectly, not greasy, and the onion didn't come sliding out when I bit into it. Service was fast, atmosphere was nice, and (even eating alone) I didn't feel rushed. While I didn't have dessert, the selection was fantastic. All the cakes look fresh and, even for a diner, the slices were huge! Dinner was so good, I went back for breakfast the next morning. And so glad I did! Angel, my waitress, was cheery, funny, and very sweet. I had sausage gravy and biscuits with hashbrowns. I have never had that big a serving of biscuits and gravy! (I had actually ordered extra gravy and ended up taking it home with me!) 'Almost' as good as my Grandmother's gravy! The coffee was great, too, and Angel kept my cup full and hot. I will definitely be stopping in whenever I am in the area!

    The food was excellent. I had a Reuben with Tater Tots, my wife had a Crab Melt sandwich with sweet potato fries. There was definitely plenty of food in our servings. The service was great, our waiter was friendly and attentive; he was very upbeat. The restaurant was clean, with plenty of seating. Interior design is modern and attractive.

    Great location between the hotel we were staying at, and another adjacent. Close to the center of town and just off of Rt. 15. The diner was what you'd expect and so much more. Fast seating, attentive service, lightning fast from order to table and really good food (and generous portions). I'll definitely go back!

    Walking distance from hotels. Big menu, good food including desserts. Good service. What we were most pleased with was the price. Instead of it being 2025, we thought it was 1990 prices. Very happy.

    This place took over where the old ABC Brewing Company restaurant was. There is an open design with an easy floor plan to move around. The bar is still there, but no alcohol as it is a family restaurant. They definitely have plenty of different foods on the menu as you expect for a diner. It was a short wait before we got seated. While you are waiting, there is an overhead digital board with the specials. This is right over the double display cases loaded with desserts. We kept it simple with something from the burger section. I got the Santa Fe Burger while my wife got the Bacon CheeseBurger. They come with fries and a pickle if you get the Deluxe version. It was a messy meal, but it was filling. We got a Coconut Cream Pie for later and a Huge Apple Turnover for breakfast the next morning. Owners we friendly when they stopped by and we found out they have other diners in MD and PA. The waitress was polite and attentive throughout the meal. Cost wise, it was so inexpensive as our full cost was 35 which included the desserts. We are local and now have a new place to eat nearby. Since the Movie theater is right across from the diner, Dinner and a Movie will be so much easier now. P.S. The pie was great for splitting between each other without fighting for more P.S.S. I added a photo of oir breakfast before heading for a hike. This will definitely give us the energy for it!
