"I arrived on a Saturday around noon, and there were only three other customers, all sitting at the bar. I chose a seat there as well. When the rather stern-faced server approached me to take my order, I asked if they had coffee, since the others were drinking beer. She replied with a quick "NO!" I politely inquired if she could make some, and she shot me a disapproving look before walking away, as if my request was outrageous. She didn’t return for at least 10 minutes (I assumed she was preparing the coffee in the back). When she finally brought it out, I noticed an empty coffee pot right next to me (more on that later). She filled a cup for me. About 15 minutes later, she checked if I wanted to order anything else. I said I’d like the Philly Steak Swiss Sandwich. It seemed she was the only person working, as I didn’t see anyone else; she acted as the cook, server, bartender, and probably the dishwasher too. Perhaps that was why her demeanor was so unfriendly, but there were only three other customers, so it wasn't like it was busy. Before my order arrived, another man came in to pick up a to-go order and received it within three minutes. I ended up waiting around 30 minutes for my food. The sandwich, served on toasted white bread, was decent for $5.25. However, I was charged $2.50 for a cup of coffee. Remember that nearby coffee pot I mentioned? After I got my sandwich, the server informed me there was more coffee over there and that I should help myself if I wanted more. Then I saw a sign by the coffee pot stating that coffee was only $1.50 and to please pay the bartender. I guess for the trouble of asking for it, I was charged an extra $1.00. She never brought me the bill, so I placed a $10 bill in front of me. When she passed by, she took it and returned with my change, never saying a word. I left the remainder as a tip, even though she hadn’t really earned it respectably. This place does deserve three stars for the ambiance. It is definitely a dive bar, but I appreciated the decor, nostalgic posters, signs, photos, and memorabilia. Whoever put up all the fun items on the walls clearly has a great sense of humor. I doubt it was my server, though."
