“ The guys in there were really nice!! They put up with our buzzed selves after we left bar we went there!! I'd recommend the place!! ”
“ I very much enjoyed the cheese omelette and country potatoes. I took about half home and am looking forward to eating the rest. Generous portions. Great coffee. Brightly-lit compact diner. Service was fast and efficient. My friend had the fish and chips and a bowl of chili and polished them off quick. He's been going here for decades. I love that I can order breakfast food at any time, and got "breakfast" at dinner time. ”
