Definitely a good classic diner. Wings were particularly good. The waffle filled the plate with mounds of ice cream and whipped cream. More

Lots of room for any size party. Delicious food. Plenty of waitress always asking if you need anything. Cash is preferred. Looks like there is a full bar as well. Bathroom was clean. I think you could get a wheelchair in and around. Easy on and off of the highway. By Walmart. More

Was traveling through area and stopped here for lunch. Had French toast with bacon. The toast was good. The bacon was ok. The syrup ruined the meal. It was as thin as tap water with less taste. I was disappointed as was my traveling companion. Will not be here again.
