Always good food. I go here all the time for breakfast lunch and dinner. They have a huge selection of food and it's always great. No matter what I order or what time of day, it's always good.

I ordered the eggnog French toast special and it was a small portion (2 small, thin slices of bread) even by my small appetite standards. It was overpowered by cinnamon with no nutmeg....so essentially I was just eating regular cinnamon French toast. My husband ordered the fireman omelet special and it was very sweet. He didn’t eat hardly any of it.

Upscale diner with potential. Ordered what claimed to be handcarved turkey which turned out to be a turkey roll or something manufactured as you could still taste what seemed like canning salt. And when your turkey slices are all the same shape and size don't advertise it as hand carved making it seem legit.

The servers here are terrible. The way this place is run is awful. I had to pickup takeout for my mother in law today. While waiting in line to get it two people cut in front of me. A worker just looked at it happen, looked at me and nothing. Then another worker finally comes out, stares at me and I ask her if I can help her with something bc she didn't say a word. I really don't know why anyone goes to this restaurant. Many years ago I was a patron, but that ended once I was scolded bc they put pork in their tomato sauce and I ordered it unknowingly. The chef was screaming about it in the kitchen. Never went back to this pit of sadness after that. Only went to grab this take out order, but won't ever do that again either. I would never suggest this place when we have soooo many good places in the area.
We actually live within walking distance of this restaurant, but still won't go to it. We drive to the Scratch Kitchen where they have friendly servers and the orders are correct.
