It was pretty impressive that this family restaurant is very decent. We ordered an appetizer sampler which you can choose 4 from 5 choices. We had fried mozzarella, fried zucchini, Buffalo wings, and chicken tenders. I really like the zucchini and chicken tenders. My hubby loves the other two. For entree, we had the big rib-eye, which comes with a salad and a baked potato. The ribeye tastes delicious, even its a little bit over cooked, we asked for medium rare, and it was a medium. The baked photo was yum! You can also order cocktails since they have a bar. I recommend this place!

Came here for dinner on a week night. Let me tell you in advanced that the food portions are humongous!
We ordered the 12 oz rib eye and two 5 oz pork chop. They both came with soup or salad. I got the soup of the day which was tortilla soup and my friend got salad. You also get mash or baked potato. I got baked potato and friend got mash potatoes. Both came with a side of corn and peas.
The sampler included any 4 items. I got chicken tenders, potatoes skins, zucchini chips, and Buffalo wings. Didn’t get mozzarella sticks. The zucchini chips were the best.
Everything was flavorful, almost too flavorful as it was a tad bit too salty. Both the rib and pork chop had to be chased down with the peas and carrots.
It looks like during the day, they have a deli serving Boar’s Head meat. Which means the sandwiches on the menu must be from this too.
The restaurant has lots seating but only one of the dining room was being utilized.

The wait time was decent for it being a Sunday. The food was good. It seems the staff may have been understaffed which is understandable and we appreciate the service time. Unfortunately because of it we never got refills.

Very good diner food. Prices had to rise because of the pandemic but quality still top notch. Recent remodeling of the entire restaurant creates an inviting and modern atmosphere. Highly recommend the pie for dessert. Many choices (they are a very good bakery to go) of desserts but the pies are very fresh and large portions.

My fist visit after the remodeled has done, is a very nice looking place, clean and comfortable. But tge food is very bad, no flavor, very poor pirtions, not even a garnish on it, I had the pork chop and eggs, I asked the server to make sure my meat is super well done twice, he looks like haven't slept well the night before, when I got my plate the first thing I noticed is my chop not cooked the way I asked. He took back to the kitchen few seconds later he brought back deep fried well done but super dry, like a chicharron,
I have to get up to my own condiments because he nerve gets me some, even worse he nerve asked me if I want for coffee. Bad service, bad food

First of I need to share we went in few minutes after serving had stopped (7:30 pm). The hostess said it would be alright. For this alone I am grateful.
The restaurant remodel went well, the decor is very nice. I had the touchdown breakfast, everything was delicious. My wife had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. Everything was cooked very good and especially the deliciously different gravy. It provided the the right flavor.
.
We will be sure to go back

We go there for the specials. Thursday is my favorite with the chicken pot pie. It comes out quickly and it is very warm. The taste is wonderful. Mom and wife share one together. I have one for myself because I'm still a growing boy. We are so full when we leave. I like the Beef Stroganoff and Meatloaf. The staff is very friendly and I think they are starting to know who we are.

Service was nice and attentive. New decor was also nice and modern, a little crammed but doable. The food is what was really bad. The salad was BROWN, wow. I got the hot turkey dinner which was deli turkey heated on top of white bread smothered in salty gravy that had a film on top... The vegetables were canned. I only ate the mashed potatoes. Not going back.
