Becca was our server when we stopped into this old school diner. Had the Texas toast style French toast & it was bomb! Followed by a piece of their chocolate peanut butter banana pie...deeeelightful! (Which they had over 20 flavors)

I've been hearing so many good things about this place, so I had to try it for myself. I love the classic diner vibe of this place and everyone seemed pretty nice. The prices are super reasonable and most of the stuff was good. The only complaint was from my husband who got the liver, which was so thin that it ended up a little overcooked. However, I got the veggie omelette and it was yummy. However, the star of the show was definitely the pie. I got the strawberry and cream pie and I swear it's one of the best pies I've ever had. My husband got the chocolate peanut butter pie and it was good, but I think it would have been better with a graham cracker crust like the strawberry, or even an Oreo crumb crust. I live about an hour away from here, and I'd definitely make a trip back here just for the pie!

This place is legendary, my grandparent would stop here on the way home after a Pirate game, 40 years later I’m stopping with my daughter. The pie here is like no other in the world.

Been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time since it has been around for a very long time, a staple in the area. I was not disappointed with the food, service or atmosphere. The corned beef hash was very good and not salty like you find most places. If you like it, I would definitely try it if you’re there for breakfast. Our server Heather was very nice and attentive. Thank you, Heather for making my first visit a memorable one. PS: I requested sausage gravy on my scrambled eggs which was not an issue. Heather didn’t even blink an eye, so you can customize however you wish.

Been coming here since 2012 and it’s one of those places that never changes. It is always a must have when passing through the area. I love that they are still 24/7. This is the 4 oz beef steak burger and corned beef hash with onions in it. Food was hot, fresh, and delicious!!

This had a very nostalgic feel with all the shiny aluminum walls and vinyl bench seats and lunch counter stools. The peanut butter banana pie was to die for. The place is showing wear in some areas but that only adds to the charm. Good coffee.

I love finding little diners like this on my adventures. We ordered breakfast, and it did not disappoint. Everything was great. French toast made with texas toast, delicious, crispy bacon just like I like it, bacon Omelet with tomato onion and cheese. Corn beef and hash nice and crispy how I ordered it. Biscuits and gravy was good as well. Everyone in the placed ordered pie either there or to go and they were running out of them quickly, so I had to order a piece to go. Banana cream was the choice since the cherry , apple, choc, peanut butter were just sold out as we waited for our food. So they must all be delicious . Service was quick and friendly. We will definitely stop again if in the area. Thank you.

This little diner is groovy. I love the retro look and decor. We got cheeseburgers and fries. It was very good, was temped to get another. Small portions, but enough to fill us. Prices were all under ten. Friendly good service. Lots of pie options too.
