    The food is good and the prices are right. Portions are nice. We've always had good service. The parking is ok as it can get packed on weekend mornings. The restaurant seems clean. The menus could be updated or laminated as they show a lot of wear. We like it here and will continue to return for a tasty breakfast!

    I knew by all the cars outside that it was gonna be good, and it was. Classic. Great value! Delicious sausage! Friendly staff. Eat here.

    I absolutely love this diner. The service is delightful. The food is delicious. The plate was full the prices were great. It's cozy and comfortable for a home cooked feeling.

    Its been a while since I've eaten breakfast. Like a whole 7 days! That time goes by too quickly. I never would have known this place even existed and I frequently drive up and down this interstate. I love the heart shape, bistro chairs. I also love the chalkboard wall of menu items. Seems like this facility is family run and operated and they have dependable staff. You seat yourself and are taken care of almost immediately. They serve breakfast all day. That's five stars right there. I usually like a well rounded breakfast with equally sweet and salty items. I ordered the blueberry pancake, sausage gravy and an egg with toast and sausage. Oh, and the hot tea for me was a big deal. The cup was huge and refills were offered - which never happens for hot tea in other restaurants. I think my favorite thing is this.

    I have been looking forward to coming by here for a couple months after reading an article on it online. At any rate, stopped here on my way down state on a business trip a Sunday morn. This is off the interstate on scenic 40- which I would recommend to drive on from Cumberland to Hagerstown at least once. Drive up around Sideling Hill, stop at the pull over overlooks, spend some time the back way, etc. At any rate now that I've calmed down- ordered breakfast. This place is a small quaint place with plenty of tables and the locals coming in every morning for a cup and a plate. Either way- nice spot. Went with the 2 eggs, toast, and bacon combo- which came with home fries (yuge), and added a pancake with a cup of coffee and a water. The eggs were scrambled, seasoned properly and got standard breakfast must-have, plenty of bacon (4 strips!), and home fries were a scalloped potatoes crispy side or fried-side prepared. Very tasty. As far as the pancake- it was the circumference of a bowling ball, nice and fluffy. Plenty of jellies and jams to pick from, and the coffee was refilled constantly. Service was very good and attentive - I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place as a great option other than the usual Denny's/IHOP/etc.

    For almost as long as I've lived in this area, I have been wanting to check this place out. It's always busy when I pass by, so I assumed they must be really good. Unfortunately, after dining there with my GF this morning, I was rather underwhelmed. I don't want this to be all negative though, as the place was far from horrible. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is what I would expect from a diner/country restaurant. It was cozy and inviting. In particular, my GF and I really liked the corrugated tin ceiling. The food however, left me wanting. First was the coffee. Diner coffee is usually always good. I've eaten at lots of them across the country and that's usually pretty consistent. I don't know if it's due to cheap coffee or what, but it was a bit acrid. My GF said that the unsweetened ice tea was really good though, and I would agree having had a sip. We both ordered the sausage gravy over toast (there was no biscuit option that we could see) and home fries. The home fries were probably the best part of the entire meal. They were light and crispy, and they appeared to be deep fried which led to a nice even done-ness without any burnt or uncooked parts. The sausage gravy itself was pretty disappointing though. On its own, it had almost no flavor. Unless I was eating a piece of sausage directly, I couldn't taste any. It almost seemed like it didn't simmer long enough. There was also no seasoning that I could taste. It took a heavy dose of black pepper, salt, and hot sauce to give anything even close to resembling flavor. The sausage gravy from fast food chain, Hardees has way more flavor in it. Toast also is not the best vessel for sausage gravy, turning into a soggy mess. Then, there was the scrambled eggs I got on the side. They were overcooked, had almost no taste and were chopped up so small that I would have been better eating them with a spoon instead of a fork. Maybe their non-breakfast fare is better, but since I usually judge a diner/country restaurant on their breakfast food, it's probably going to be a long time before I attempt a second try.

    Worth the side trip. If it is on the special board get the slippery chicken pot pie! The iced tea was brewed fresh.

    Been here over an hour to take food to go. No food. No drink refills. No apologies. One other group in the place, and it's big. But come on.

    I just wanted to rave about this absolutely amazing gems!! What a great find!!…read moreThe food was out of this world, every bite was exceptional!! They brought out an amuse-bouche of fiddle head ferns that simply made the eyes role back in your head!! The crusted rockfish was perhaps one of the top ten meals I hav ever had, I can't gush enough about it!! My girlfriend got the brisket that was simply delicious!! I can't leave a review without mentioning Christian our waiter!! He as excellent and great with recommendations!!

    We had a beautiful dinner with delicious food, and Lucas was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and…read moredid everything he could to make our experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service timing was extremely slow. It took more than 45 minutes to receive our drinks, and our meal lasted approximately 2 1/2 hours. When we expressed our concerns, we also mentioned that one of our drinks was not enjoyable. Lucas initially offered to remove it from the bill, but then returned with the same drink and explained that the manager had instructed him not to remove it because we had ordered it. We were disappointed by that response, but even more so when we asked twice to speak with the manager and she refused to come to our table. We were simply hoping to discuss our experience, particularly the unusually long service. A manager's willingness to address guest concerns in person is the entire job, and her refusal to do so left us feeling dismissed. It's unfortunate because the food and our server were excellent, but the manager's handling of the situation overshadowed what could have been a great dining experience.
