I just want t say I was there yesterday with our group knights on Bikes we had 17 bikes and 25 people and the waitress was fantastic she gave us unbelievable service with a great attitude doing it. The cook inside was working his tale off as well getting the food out very quickly for us. I can’t say enough the service and food was great. Thank You from our entire group

Just good diner food. Tacos and Fish and chips were tasty. French fries and salad with dressing, decent. The best part about the place is the cleanliness. The single server who was helping us on Monday, September 8 was a constant stream of activity, cleaning surfaces sweeping, just making sure everything was perfect. The islander is lucky to have her.

We came too early in the day for burger night. But we hope to come back on Monday for burger night.

The tomato soup was the creamiest yet strong tomato taste I ever had. The shrimp taco was alright.

Burger and fries were great, definitely would recommend the fried pickles!!! Waitress was very nice and attentive. We waited for the food a bit but that was the only negative

Good variety. Quick moving. Cash only. The regulars keep their mugs hanging below the specials board. Many different local beers available. I liked the pancakes and sausage.

I’ve gone here my whole life, but two disappointing experiences recently.

1. On a weekend morning it was well understaffed with mediocre service, overheard multiple people get incorrect orders, the server was unable to communicate in English with the new employee who was supposed to help her I guess? She was getting upset at him.

2. (different day) A cash only restaurant should be able to break an 100$, I was sent to Chase myself when they didn’t have change.

Food is consistent but service definitely is not.

This place is a delight. The decor is charming and bright and the menu is excellent. We had omelettes and pancakes and our little one had chicken nuggets and fries. The salads looked super fresh and big, and the burgers did as well. Friendly service and conveniently located in the middle of the island. We will definitely be back. Go here with family, friends, or even alone. Many people got take out while we were there too.
