    Love this place! It is located in the middle of nowhere but had such quick service and kind waitresses! The food was decently priced and great quality! I had a tuna melt with potato soup and it was great! Hidden but a gem!

    This is a hidden gem! Near 65 exit, right past the entrance into Miller Beach. We stopped in for brunch at 11:30 and by the time we left the lunch crowd left it standing room only! The wait staff was polite and the owner came out and introduced himself, no one does that anymore. It felt warm and inviting like you were visiting someone's home not just an establishment. The good was delicious! We were very impressed and will return.

    Great Mom and Pop diner feel. Nostalgic, loved all of the pictures on the wall. Great service and great food 👍

    Never have a complaint for this place. The food is always good and the family that runs the place is awesome. Been going here for years.

    Happened upon this place on a road trip. I walked in with my family (2 little kids) and it seemed like the staff was so excited to see seen a non-trucker for a change! They treated us EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. Super friendly, great with kids. Food was solid. Server gave the kids cookies on the way out and even a tote bag! Can't wait to drop in again on my way to Chicago!
