"I was traveling through town and wanted some breakfast so I stopped by. There are rules handwritten on paper all over the doors and was very confusing to understand. I was curious what they were so I took my time to read it all but I was rushed inside by the lady working there.It seems like this place is stuck in hardcore COVID restrictions although zi wasn't forced to wear a mask (if I was, I would have walked out anyways). While the place is clean, it is worn down and uncomfortable. I didn't want to sit at the counter but I was forced to wasn't going to argue.The menu was challenging to read. There was a combination of print and handwritten notes which I couldn't read because the menu was printed and laminated 30 years ago and is scratched to hell. I couldn't decipher what to order so I just asked for eggs, potatoes, toast and bacon. It did come with coffee. The lady that serves is also the cook so that was an interesting touch.The food came promptly but was an extremely small portion. The toast was burned so that wasn't enjoyable. The potatoes were the best part. The portion was so small I actually ordered a second portion to fulfill my hunger.Then the bill came. How the hell was this $29? I couldn't understand the menu and I didn't have the desire to argue it so I left cash and walked out. At $29, that means each meal was $14.50. How the hell are two eggs, two slices of toast, 4oz of potatoes and two strips of bacon $14.50?!I recommend everyone please read the other reviews they are accurate. I didn't have as an unpleasant experience as others but I opted to be very open minded and relaxed because I was hungry.This place is obviously run by an insanely LIBERAL person and I was afraid to say anything in fear of getting kicked out of the only diner in town, that I saw. I won't be back. There is a reason it is always empty."

Lovely diner, kind welcoming service. If you're looking for a good homestyle meal with friendly people, this is the place to go. Small town diner at it's best.

The food was fantastic, particularly the French toast. Although there are some unusual rules, they contributed to the overall atmosphere, and we had a wonderful time! View menu

True diner of yesteryear. Diner family owned for over 50 years. Owner is very nice, greets you when you come in, aims to please. Come in with an empty tummy and cash in your pocket. No credit cards.

This place is absolutely fantastic. We visited twice in two days while on vacation and both times the food was exceptional. However, if you're in a hurry, this may not be the best choice as the service can be slow.

The owner stood at the door and made us feel uncomfortable .She was not very friendly. it was a place my friend wanted to visit and we both said we never go back after that experience…. And the prices are outrageous for a very limited breakfast menu but …the food and service were Ok! View menu

Stay away. Needs beware of staff sign. Can't tell you about the food as the guard dog rude lady ran us out before we could order. The lack of customer service, rudeness and behavior by the mean lady was more mind boggling than the 12.95 grilled cheese. Ma'am you need to find your passion again bc you have very clearly lost the reason and meaning of customer service.

Many of the negative reviews here mention mask or vaccine requirements. The food was straightforward and tasty, and although slightly pricier than before the pandemic, it wasn't overly expensive. Despite only one person working (handling waiting tables, clearing dishes, and cooking), I felt well looked after. The restaurant was very clean, unpretentious, and welcoming. The numerous signs reminding people to be considerate made me smile. If you're looking for a classic diner atmosphere, this is the spot for you.
