Service is above average, and the coffee cup is never empty long, which is rule one of the diner game. Waitresses named "Jesse" and "Diane" were asked how many work shoes they went through in a year, they looked at each other and simultaneously said "5". That pretty much tells you all ya need to know. Place was recommended to me by a friend, so I'm paying it forward...enjoy.

I had chicken rice soup (a bit salty and lots of rice), and the grilled gyro sandwich. Gyro meat, swiss and tszaki on rye. It was the highlight of the meal.

They were simply cubed potatoes with no seasoning, peppers or onions--just bland and barely browned, as the pictures show. The eggs were decent, as you can't go wrong there, and the bacon was good. However, the sausage was unexpected; it was regular Italian sausage offered in hot or sweet, which felt out of place for a breakfast spot. When you order eggs with sausage you expect breakfast sausage especially on a Sunday morning at 10:45 am! My biggest concern was the wait time. Despite the busy atmosphere, it took nearly an hour and a half for our meals to arrive. That's quite unacceptable for a small establishment unless there's a valid reason. After reading several other reviews, it seems this is a recurring issue. Unfortunately, I don't plan on returning. The two stars are for the large pancake and the friendly waitress. By the way, CASH ONLY!!

We had to eat and decided to give this place a try. Nice, comfortable place with friendly staff. As you are waiting to be seated, you are tempted by a cold case with lots of homemade sweet goodies. I was hungry and wanted to try everything. Hubby wasn't that hungry, but he still ordered something. We started with a mixed munchies plate. This came with chicken strips, fried mozzarella sticks, and pierogies, with a side of marinara sauce. They had four daily soups. They all sounded really good. I had chicken and orzo, and my husband had cream of chicken (I think). The soups were amazing. It had big chunks of white meat chicken. I really wanted some beer-battered fish and chips. I was told the regular cod fish and chips were not beer-battered, and only the haddock was beer-battered. I opted for the haddock with French fries and corn. Hubby ordered Philly cheesesteak flatbread. The mixed munchies were good. I don't think I have had deep-fried pierogies. I think I prefer the steamed ones. But these had a good flavor. The haddock was huge. I sent a picture to my kids, and they commented that only the head and tail were missing. . . lol. . . I hardly ate any fries, but hubby said they were crispy, hot, and tasty. Hubby got his flatbread to go, and we ordered a strawberry shortbread cake to go. We had some of the cake as a late-night snack. It was okay, but I don't think I would get it again. I was thankful that hubby wasn't being "tight" today. I didn't even have to ask him to be generous with a tip. He said, "It's Mother's Day, and she's working". Sorry, forgot to snap a pick of the philly and the cake.

Food is good but when you take the parking the additute and the drive it takes to get here, I think there's other places to go. Also, don't advertise lunch specials if you can't get the soup.

Their delivery radius is larger than typical, so it couldn't hurt to ask even if you think you're too far away. My husband wanted to try this place and I have to admit, walking in there the first time, I didn't have high hopes. I've been to a lot of country cafés that looked like this, and I'm used to a simple and limited menu and a lot of stuff frozen or from cans. I ordered the ravioli special and my husband had a burger. The ravioli was good, the sauce was home made. But my husband raved about his hamburger. He's quite the aficionado, and he was quick to declare that he would have expected to pay near twice as much for a burger of that quality. We've been back several times since they opened earlier this year and we have never been disappointed. We were a bit skeptical when they added pizza to their menu a month or two ago, but tonight we decided to try it. It's our new favorite pizza in the area. It's real New York style, big and flat with a foldable, chewy crust and a sauce that is flavorful and not at all sweet. The prices are good value, the owners are friendly, and food is worth the trip to Forest City.
