Most Disliked
Some guests have pointed out that the diner can fill up quickly during peak hours and weekends. While this speaks to its popularity, it might mean a longer wait for a seat or food during these times. There could be occasions where service slows down due to high volume, leading to a few frustrated customers.
Regarding the food, though quality is generally high, there are occasional mentions about portion sizes not aligning with expectations, especially with side dishes like onion rings and fries. Guests have noted they felt shortchanged compared to the value they anticipated. These are minor gripes in an otherwise enthusiastic reception, but worth mentioning for prospective visitors.

A busy diner serving the Village’s area. Good coffee and quick service are a hallmark of a diner like this. Prices are right in line with normal. Add a little southern charm and you feel very comfortable from the git go. The food was great. Served hot and fresh.

Only one gal working the tables and she did a bang up job! We’ve tried several of their locations and haven’t had a bad meal yet! The Mr. Likes breakfast for whenever and I love their Philly cheesesteak!!! Iced tea is fresh brewed and sweet but not too sweet! Check them out!

We found this place by accident and we were pleasantly surprised. The waitress was super sweet and struck up a conversation with my 9yr old. The menu is quite extensive for a small diner with a good variety. My 9yr old had a cheeseburger platter which she loved and I had a Reuben sandwich. The sandwich was absolutely delicious 😋 I did ask for half onion rings and half fries and I feel I was jipped, especially for the pice lol the carrot cake wasn't the prettiest slice on the plate but it was HUGE and rich for only like $2-$3. Both my daughter and I had our filling and had more than half to take home. All in all, the food was good and the service was excellent. I'll be going back!
