"I've driven by this diner for 20+ years and always wanted to stop in. Stopped in today with my son ... It didn't live up to the expectations. It's hard times these days and inflation is a **** ... places are struggling, I get it. This place could just use some major updating is all. the cushioning in our booth was completely shot. Felt like we were sitting on sharp springs. Add in the appearance of dirt and grime. It didn't feel too pleasant to be dining in there. I kinda wanted to leave. I dig the cemetery next door and the coziness of the diner though. Also, it doesn't get much more fresh, the food comes directly off the grill (which is literally a few feet away from any booth. The quality of their food isn't good. Both of our plates were covered in a puddle of oil. (I wanted to throw my eggs a life preserver. (Bastards were drowning in it) I look up from my plate and see my son's face shining in grease ... he looked like radioactive man. About 30 napkins later and greased up fingers/face, we called it quits. We left 1/4 of our meals since we were both getting a little grossed out and didn't want to be sick later. In retrospect, we probably shouldn't eaten as much as we did. So yea, I will continue driving by this place. Now I know. Why not use less cooking oil? Seriously. Hell, use avocado cooking spray or something lite. Their breakfast could be amazing. Server was great and she was very quick with the coffee refills. I love that. Take the good with the bad. Maybe it was an off day. Peace out"
