Breakfast- our waitress pawned us off on another so she could go eat. OK, but it was really busy and she sat out with all the patrons-tacky. Food ok. Had to send hashbrowns back because they were white raw.
Fast forward a couple days. They had a pretty well priced special, but when I asked for crispy hash browns. I was rudely told they couldn't make any changes. (See previous breakfast) I said asking for cooked food didn't really seem like a hard change. Nope cant do it (same waitress that pawned us off prior. Left. Won't go back
Hope she loses her job

Had the dinner special. $12.95 rib eye, asparagus, and side salad. Steak was not a good steak. It was eatable, but, as they say, you get what you pay for. P paid extra for grilled mushrooms and peppers. Pretty sure the mushrooms were canned and the peppers were barely warmed. Asparagus was good, for asparagus. Side salad was a typical salad.
Service was slow.
