    Smother chicken and salt potatoes
    Christiana F.

    Amazingly delicious little diner!! The service was quick and they have a huge menu. The staff are so kind and friendly it's like eating at your relatives. Very comfortable atmosphere. Our table had the Friday fish fry, smothered chicken breast, and the chaps special (which included chicken and eggplant parm and spaghetti with Italian sausage). Their food was so good, fries were perfectly crispy, chicken was tender and the Parms had so much flavor! There's plenty of other options as well! We can't wait to come back and try their all day breakfast (except Fridays). They even made a special order key lime pie to go!

    This little diner, which feels more like a restaurant, is a hidden local gem. Food is homemade and delicious! The soups are rich and satisfying, and the pastas are delicious. You will not get a bad meal at this eatery. Don't forget to save room for dessert because they are fantastic! The service is fantastic, and I always feel like family when I go there. The prices on food are great! This is easily one of my favorite local places.

    I have zero bad things to say about this place. I came to Elba with my parents, as he grew up there. We stopped in for some dinner and got way more of that. I had the meatloaf sandwich, with mashed potatoes (wasn't what I was expecting, I would recommend asking for the gravy on the side) but it was hearty and good food! My dad got the special of the day which was the muck plate, it was huge! (Basically like a garbage plate) he thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the meat sauce that was poured on it. My mom had the Patty melt and she ate the whole thing! The fries were crispy and soft on the inside, kind of like beer battered. My parents rave about the pineapple sour cream pie so we asked to order it for the next day since they had none left that evening. The hospitality of the ladies in there made the experience so home-feel like, it was wonderful. The next day, we picked up the pie a little later and they gave Dad a slice of a different kind for being a Vet. They were so sweet! I know my parents will go back every time they visit.

    It's a dive but clean and decent. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive (pretty sure it…read morewas the owner). The reason my rating is low is two major problems. The food came out extremely slow. We waited for 45 minutes, for a table of 5. There were only a few people there at the time. She offered to box up the food since we spent so much time waiting we had to leave. The next problem was our food was very inconsistent. My sister had the junk plate and my son had the junk fries and they both loved their food. My sister said it was one of the better "garbage plate" type meals she's had. Me and my mom not as good. My mom said the soup was lacking any flavor and was not good at all. The main problem with our meals was we both had the egg and olive sandwich. Tasted good until at different times we both bit into egg shells. Happened more than once to the point I didn't want to eat anymore because I didn't know to expect an eggshell. Therefore both me and my mom could not finish our meals. I posted a pic so you can see it's a big piece of shell.

    Quirky little dive diner not far from Batavia. The building is pretty old with crooked counters…read moreetc. which gave it some character. My breakfast was nothing special but perfectly fine. Service was a little off. She got my order wrong then disappeared. As a result I really couldn't do anything about it. Also, she gave me my coffee, cream, and sugar. But she didn't give me anything to stir it with (again disappearing). She was a young girl so I'll mark it off to inexperience. If I was in the area, I would go back.
