Good morning everyone,…read more Let me start by saying I've lived in this area since 2015, and I'm honestly upset I didn't discover this place sooner. I'm not that old, but the nostalgia this restaurant brings back reminds me of waking up with my family and my father taking us out for a great breakfast. The staff here are simply amazing. It's easy to see why people keep coming back. The restaurant has been in operation since 1975, and that alone tells you they're doing something right. Back to the staff--these ladies and gentlemen treat you like you've been a regular since day one. Today, I'm seated in a small booth by the entrance, and as someone who enjoys people-watching, I've been paying attention to how they interact with customers. They truly have a gift for conversation. The small, personal exchanges they have with each guest show a real attention to detail. For some customers, they know personal details--asking about family members and sharing genuine concern. For others just passing through, they take the time to learn where they're from, how long they're staying, and wish them well on their visit. They work seamlessly as a team. Everyone steps in to support one another, and no one misses a beat. It's a well-oiled machine, and their experience clearly shows. I'm not sure how long some of them have been here, but larger companies could definitely learn a thing or two from this level of teamwork and service. They are attentive, friendly, and professional. Lastly, the food--absolutely outstanding. Everything tastes fresh, and I've tried several different meals without a single disappointment. And the coffee? Excellent. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. If you're looking for a welcoming, people-friendly atmosphere with great food and even better coffee, I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself.

Unfortunately, the wrap itself was very soggy and difficult to eat as a wrap, so I ended up eating the filling more like a salad. The vegetables also didn't seem particularly fresh, which made it disappointing overall. I know dietary restrictions can be challenging for restaurants to accommodate, and I appreciate the effort to create an alternative option. However, the final dish just didn't come together for me. The fries were also cold.

We came for breakfast and were seated quickly and had a very attentive and helpful server. Thank goodness we had already decided on having breakfast because the menu was impressively extensive! We got the Hungry man special with a rambled eggs and French toast and the Country fried Steak with gravy & eggs with a side of Rye toast. The portions are larger than we expected for the prices and solid belly fillers. Both of our meals came with Home Fries but they are closer to hash browns (which was our preference). Clean, tasty and great service all around, a solid spot added to our local breakfast list!

I'm glad, because with it being slightly off the 'main drag' in Middletown, we might not have seen it otherwise. We arrived towards the end of the dinner rush hour, and fortunately were seated over by where a musician was playing. It was a busy night, and we were tired and hungry from a day at the faire. As it was busy, there were sportsball games going and the musician playing, shouting was required for discussion and we had some funny misunderstandings YOUR GRAPE IS ON THE MOON? WHAT? Oh, your gravy is a little cool! :) The musician was great, playing lots of 70s and 80s hits, and he seemed to enjoy us singing along and dancing. We are, after all, rennies. We're glad he was enjoying us as much as we were enjoying his music. We got drinks and menus quickly, and our server was attentive without being pushy. After a few minutes looking over the menu, she appeared and we ordered. I got the Stampede Burger, while one of my friends got the Prime Dip sandwich (AKA French Dip), and one got chicken fingers. All came in reasonable time and were quite good, hearty food. So, why the one star off? Dessert. Could we have a brownie sundae? Out of brownies. OK, how about chocolate cake? Out of that, too. Uh...red velvet? Out. Basically everything chocolate. Sigh. Yeah, it was busy but not insane. We ended up not getting dessert, and it was disappointing. Whoever's managing food orders and prep, please do better. Also, if it's not available, it would have been great for the server to say so up front, that way she didn't have to tell us no 3 times. Parking in a private lot, plentiful. We would go again, we just will plan on dessert elsewhere.

I'm sorry it's taking me so long to write a review because it is long overdue. Just about everything that they offer at this restaurant is fantastic!

The prices are always right, and I have never had a bad experience.

Short hop off the highway, near the large factory next to a large gas station and a bunch of trucks, is the Deepwater diner. If you're looking for Michelin star or haute cuisine; you're way off the mark. Simple honest working man's food, ya know like trucker diner food. Wait staff super friendly, cleared dishes quickly and service was on point. Waitress was kind and pleasant, explained options over and over without any hint of exasperation. We asked for the Greek salad to be without so much cheese, she was right on it. We ordered country fried chicken steak, meatloaf, hamburger deluxe and whole rack of ribs. The Greek salad starter was great, as was the crab bisque. They sent us a free appetizer of fries, fried Mac / cheese and chicken nuggets, it was delish. Then the food arrived, they were fred flintstone sized. Generous would be an understatement. Our international student friend who ate with us called it 'American sized' As much as we tried, we could not make a dent. Threw in the towel and packed most of it to go. Then they served us free ice cream. We went for strawberry, mint chocolate chip, moose tracks (reeces and chocolate chunks) and dark cherry. Some of the best we've had in some time. (Waitress said it's from Water Ice cream in Philly). Gluttons that we are, we got the whip cream on top. We'll Get back on the diet wagon next week. They also had signs for kids under 13 eat free! Finally we got the bill. 72 for 4 adults who could not eat even 1/2 of what was served. Don't be a snob, embrace the local diner and be open to different experiences. Cashier was the owners kid, working his job at 14. Good to see kids hustling, hard work never killed anyone.
