    Everyone who works here is friendly from the front of the house to the back of the house. Always ask us our names and strikes up a good conversation. When I am done I always feel great after. Good acoustics aka easy to hear the conversation at your table. Please note, at this time they only accept cash and checks.

    Strictly for improvement of menu. The buffalo blue cheese burger was not good at all with chips. Dry hard tasteless. The chowders are good and mexican specials are good. pot roast very good. Most of the creamy soups are very good. Chili is good. Open faced sandwiches are very salty... Love the people there.

    The food was really awesome! I had the veggie wrap, and it was delicious as well as being very healthy. The service was also wonderful. And the prices are reasonable.

    Edit.: This is just for reference. I told the young lady serving us that I wanted the salad special to go and told her twice dressing on the side. They poured the dressing on my salad to go box. Well anyone that knows just a little about food knows what happens. It wilts and it got all over my car. I gently told the girl I really need the salad with dressing on the side. She said have a nice day. I didnt want to get her in trouble but the person preparing the salad shouldve known better. I know have grease and vinegar smell on my seats. The food service and atmosphere is phenomenal. .
