The place is cozy dinner style they serve breakfast all day and have a Dinner style menu. Even have Counter Dinning or Booths. The staff are always friendly, personable and attentive. Their chicken soup is always on point. This time my wife after a long day at work went for a BTL Deluxe and substuted the fries for a salad and cold slaw. The salad was that classic salad you grew up with. Lettuce chopped with carrots sticks, cherry tomatoes, red onion and radish. With a choice of dressings. I went for their Broasted chicken that's chicken fried in a pressure cooker. It's phenomenal. Broasted chicken never misses the mark. So in recap the Lucky Strike is a trip to the restaurants that your folks took you and you know there is something for everyone. And you might run into a neighbor or two.

Although service was a bit slow- I'm going to chalk it up to only a few employees working. We were in no rush. I ordered pancakes, two eggs and bacon. The hero was definitely the pancakes- I was not expecting them to taste anything other than a bland pancake- but these had something special in them- vanilla or cinnamon? whatever it was I was very surprised and the plating was beautiful. I will be back for coffee soon!

Everything was clean and tidy even though it was on the tail end of breakfast service. There were several other people in the place too. Service was welcoming and personable. After a short wait, the waitress took my order and poured the coffee. The coffee was good and bold. A great diner style pick me up. Originally I was going to order some hash (excellent in the past) but opted for the biscuits and gravy special. Definitely a good move. As I waited for my food I was able to watch the kitchen do their thing. Good, lively crew. Any banter was professional and friendly. Also did a great job on the flat top. The portion size for the meal was great and the meal was delicious. The biscuits had some good flakiness and were not soggy at all. The creamy gravy had plenty of chunky sausage bites and had ample black pepper to tame the richness. The home fries were also a hit. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The seasoning was also very good. The potatoes had a great paprika hint that lended just enough spice to cut through the richness of the gravy even more. For eggs, I chose over easy. They were cooked perfectly. Yokes were perfect and they had some crispiness on the edges that provided good textural contrast. The place was clean. I didn't have an opportunity to use the rest room but it had always been clean in the past. Overall, this was a great visit. For the delicious food and friendly staff I will definitely be back!

I started the day with a toasted bagel with cream cheese. I thought it was going to be jalapeno cream cheese but it ended up being cream cheese topped with jalapenos. Okay, different but still good. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich that was nicely loaded and served with fabulous kettle chips. Filling and inexpensive. Wifi worked well and the place was quiet enough all day that I was able to work easily. A few Zoom calls here and there, comfortable. I would absolutely return to Dam Cafe.

The food quality is terrible when Gus isn't the cook. Some of the food was overcooked and then other ones like pancakes were undercooked in some parts. I had egg shell in my eggs... how. When Gus is not around it seems like it's a hangout club for the regulars. The hangout part isn't a bad thing at all, I find it to be a bad thing when the waitress is yelling through the diner about VERY inappropriate things. I do not plan on going back if I see either of them running the show. I am very disappointed with my last few experiences here. It's a shame to see a place that means so much to people slowly start to decline.
