This is by far the worst place we have ever eaten! The waitress was not very pleasant from the start. We are not the kind of people to really complain and neither me or my husband has ever sent food back before. But the food we had was literally inedible! I had the hot beef and gravy w/ mashed potatoes. Horrible is not even the word! It was just some sliced lunch meat which was still cold. The gravy was very salty and aweful. I had to send it back, it was that bad! I then just asked for eggs and potatoes. I figured how hard is it to mess up eggs!? Well, it must be for them! They were barely cooked. The top of the eggs were were still raw, runny and cold. When I said the eggs weren't cooked enough and still cold and raw on top she said "they are sunny side up eggs, that's how they're supposed to be!" Very snotty. I wanted to say, Ummm, I think we know how eggs are cooked lady! We were never rude once speaking to the waitress as we knew she doesn't cook the food. My husband had the French dip, something he has had very often at other places, he barely choked it down. It was the same meat that was on my plate. There was also a hair on his pickle. Even the fries were bad. The only one good thing was the soup, chicken noodle. The waitress took my first order off the ticket. Then when we checked check out the hostess asked how everything was and I said horrible. The first time I've ever said that! But it was that bad. She asked what we had and what was wrong and we told her. "Oh, sorry about that, is this the first time you've ever been here?" She asked. We said yes it was. She still charged us for everything! NEVER again!

Been going here for years. They are consistent
with food quality and the general atmosphere.
There are things they do well, and things you
learn not to order. Most of the things not to
order are lunch/dinner related. They do very well
with breakfast and their skillets rank up there
with the some of the best. The waitresses are
always cool, but sometimes they have a hostess
that has no manners. But overall in town, it’s
one of the best places to go.

Most rude ignorant managment I have had the mis fortune to meet. The owner is rude and his customer service skills need major improvement. I was in with me 1yr old and their grill went down, I waited with a crying baby 45 minutes for eggs, and when I inquired if there would be a discount the owner yelled at me, told me if I didnt like it not to come back. I asked to speak to someone else and his reply was leave you caused enough trouble.
