Reviews
My biggest complaint about this place was the dirtiness. I can’t imagine what the kitchen looked like. What I saw was in the dining area and bathroom. The carpet needs to be ripped up (it was disgusting) and replaced with lvp, and for the love of God, just clean in the afternoons when the cafe is closed. There’s no excuse. Y’all could work on the friendliness as well.
Disclaimer: the place is 1/5 for cleanliness… it’s pretty filthy.
Don’t blink. It’s easy to miss. Just don’t mistake it’s small footprint with poor food and or service. Wait staff is great, and very personal. They can make you feel at home seconds after waking through the door.
The menu is substantial, and they are more than accommodating special requests. I would have to recommend the chicken fried steak fingers (with options of gravies and sauces) and the open faced tacos on fried bread (Indian Fry Bread Tacos). Two of the items I show here (though I added two sunny side up eggs to my ground beef taco). So good!
Service is excellent even when busy, which happens as it is a small diner, but they do a great job of making sure refreshments are topped up.
Decor is typical of an old school diner, and seating is comfortable.
There are also specials throughout the week, but again, I go on the weekends.
Great food, excellent service, and everyone in the house felt like family…no, I mean it, but in the “family that you want to be with, and have delicious food with, and laugh, and hug, and know beyond a doubt that you will always be welcome sort of way.”
Don’t trust my word on it. Find out for yourself! (And if there isn’t any seating available, just go back and wait in your vehicle. Someone will be along shortly to come out and get you and welcome you “home.”)
