Anyone who gives this joint a less than five star review truly does not understand the joys and charm of the old time hometown diner. The only thing missing was an egg cream, but that's not a PNW thing. This NY girl gets it. What it does have is great, friendly service, excellent food and local flair. The characters in this place made me smile. Seating is close! You will hear your neighbors conversations and if you're lucky, they'll include you! My husband gave the chicken fried steak two thumbs up. Said it was one of the best he's had. I had the senior plate with a side of one biscuit and gravy. I can't believe I ate everything!! The senior plate was perfectly portioned and the biscuit and gravy sublime. The gravy was not greasy, as is often the case with sausage gravy, and I told my husband I could tell I wouldn't get heartburn splurging on it! So, so good! If I had one criticism it would the brown and serve type sausage. They were still tasty, but some real, casing style fat sausage would have been so much better. But I am being nitpicky here. Next time I'll just get the bacon. Don't be deceived by the tiny parking lot and the older looking building. This is a "dive" you don't want to ignore. Sure, you may need to wait a bit for a table, but it's worth it. (FYI: we were seated immediately.) read more
