      What a depressing place. I felt so bad for the poor fish in the lobby fishtank! The water was so dirty, yoh could barely see the poor things with their lips stuck to the glass. The waitress was okay enough. She got the job done. The food was typical breakfast fare: eggs, bacon, toast. The coffee was good, and my cup was refreshed nicely. Please clean the fish tank or put those poor creatures out of their misery!

      We stopped for breakfast on a Saturday morning . The buffet was available so we gave it a try. They did have a regular menu to order from also. The breakfast potatoes and bacon were really good everything else was just okay. The biscuits were the frozen kind (I think). If you don't want to cook on Saturday then this is a good option .

      Went there a week ago for birthday with family. At 7pm on a Saturday we were 1 of 2 tables in the entire place. While the waitress was super nice, she didn't check on us much at all and never asked to refill drinks. The food was cooked properly (rare steak, fried okra), but it was bland like no seasonings at all used. No garlic, salt, or pepper on any items. I can go without fancy flavors, but this all had none. As if the okra was only rolled in flour and the sautéed mushrooms were just thrown in a pan and then onto the steak which had no pre-season either. This was the same for 5 of the 7 total people served. Seems like they need a good cook.

      Food was okay. Just not my type of place. Prices are reasonable and this restaurant has had it's challenges. Not a negative review at all. Just not for us.

      Overall it tasted pretty good. The country ham was a bit on the extra salty side. The eggs were cooked perfectly the hash browns were nice and crunchy like I like them. Pretty basic country diner menu. Not a lot to choose from. The waitress was nice and attentive. My grandson ate all his omelette and said it was good.

      Went there a couple weeks ago and ate dinner, nats were flying around the salad bar, nothing was filled up. Waitress was going table to table complaining about her life. I'm always about giving second chances because breakfast there has been ok and the weekend waitress is wonderful. Went back in tonight for dinner, Flys are now on the salad bar, same dinner waitress came over and first thing she said was I still hate my job. Took our drink order and said she would be back, never seen her again until we were walking put and she apologized for forgetting us. Got to the register to pay for our tea and the man who I believe owns the place was up there and the waitress said I forgot to take their order and he blew it completly off and charged us the 5.24 for 2 teas. WE WILL NOT GO BACK THERE!!! However we went across the street to Mary's Diner and the food and service was great. So if your in the area just go by and try Mary's Diner unless you like going into a restaurant to eat with the flies and hear the staff complain.

      We arrived around 7:45 for dinner. We were seated and I said sorry we are late. The waitress said you have 15 minutes. We were not rushed had a good meal. The deserts were awesome. The time on Yelp is wrong. They close at 8:00 nightly. I was told no one can change the time. We both had the pork chop dinner w/backed potato roll & salad
      If you get time stop in and eat. The deserts. Everyone was friendly.

      We visited on a Sunday morning and were greeted quickly and seated in a booth. The coffee was fresh and hot and our order taken.

      My husband and I have two standards when we try a new diner. Biscuits and gravy and Western ommlettes. I ordered the Weitz special which is two biscuits topped with sausage gravy and two eggs. The biscuits were fluffy and the sausage gravy some of the best I've had. Topped with perfectly cooked over easy eggs, I was a happy girl.

      Schweety's western was a bit on the small side which he, as usual, put between the biscuit he ordered and at it as a sandwich! He ate it all then helped me finish my food. Such a considerate man!

      Service was friendly and the restaurnt tidy and inviting. Would eat here again if I was in the area.
