My waitress was super nice and extremely skilled at her job. I had the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and house salad/ranch dressing. I left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the ribeye medium and it was absolutely perfect. The seasoning was much better than Texas Roadhouse. The baked potato was the best I have had in years, nice and soft and perfectly topped. The salad was fresh and not overloaded. The overall experience felt very relaxed. Even though it was seven minutes until closing when I finished eating, my waitress enthusiastically asked if I wanted desert. This is a quality restaurant worth every penny. I will be back.

The food was mediocre at best, and the service was just okay. Prices were reasonable though, which is understandable. Probably my least favorite eating/drinking establishment in this town.

She was quick to deliver those drinks and we ordered crab cake for appetizers. The best I've had anywhere, full of delicious crab. The man walking around whom I assume was an owner told us we couldn't find a better steak anywhere! Bold statement but he was correct! The most tender filet cooked exactly medium. The green beans and sweet potatoes tasted home cooked not mass produced. We had a booth that was cozy but I walked in and thought it smelled musty. They're moving right next door soon and hopefully that'll fix that problem. The current location is a very old brick building. Go and get the best steak in your life!

I really liked the cheese squares and Oreo pudding. I would like to come back on a Monday to try the potato soup. The service here was friendly and quick. The restaurant seemed like it had a lot of the original details which was really cool. I ordered a steak and it wasn't very good, sadly. I would try something else next time. It didn't have a lot of flavor, and was kind of fatty and grisly.

I can't believe I'd waited so long. First of all the service is suuuuper friendly. I love the old school decor and the walls lined with the history of this place. Now the food. I tried a double cheeseburger, tator tots, a ham and cheese sandwich, patty melt, AND a chili burger within a span of two days. I guess I'm just intrigued by what gives this joint its longevity. Perhaps if I eat here everyday, I too will absorb some of this longevity. I dunno if fast food works that way. All of the food I've mentioned is super good. The tots are crispy, the burger is tasty and well proportioned, and the ham and cheese sandwich was carefully prepared by a true expert. The patty melt though. I can't even recall the last time I ate a patty melt. But it came out piping hot which I really appreciate about this diner. I can hear the meat sizzling as I wait. A few minutes later, I receive a sandwich with bread beautifully buttered to perfection. I take a bite and THEN decide to peek at its contents. My heart melts like the cheese in this sandwich. Why do I feel this way? Double cheese. She made my patty melt with slices of cheese on BOTH sides of the patty. And it had the delicious grilled onions just kicking yumminess into each bite! But DOUBLE cheese was not expected and to experience this made me happy. I am proud of accomplishing the act of eating this delicious sandwich. I think I should try bigger tasks. This will be the moment I start. After this food nap... maybe.

Oh what a find! This place was recommended by a local and although I'd passed by many times, the…read morerec is what tipped my foot through the door at last. What a pleasant experience. The master of sandwiches who took my order recommended the smokehouse grilled cheese. It was a perfect suggestion It had beautiful texture, the perfect balance of meats to cheese to bread, and sauce. It was piping hot and every bite of this sandwich was enjoyed. I usually enjoy the middle of a sandwich but this one was nice from end to end. I actually took my time to enjoy this in little bites rather than scarfing it down. They were also kind enough to let me sample a slice of their bread which was really good. They have a variety of flavored butters and a good amount of loaves, cookies, and things that looked good. The vibe of this place is pretty cool. It is clean and the music is chill, and I super appreciate that they take good care of the restrooms. I've already lined up my next meal here. It'll be a tomato bisque soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. But of course you knew this. You were probably going to order the same and I dont blame ya. It'll be fantastic. I already know!
