My husband grew up eating at this local institution. I did not. Therefore, I have no ties to this place or fond memories that may adversely affect this review.
With that said-I don't plan on going back here.
We've eaten here a few times over the course of the past few years when visiting his hometown and never once have I felt that I've eaten anything other than a pedestrian dish.
The waitstaff is pleasant and always very welcoming, that's pretty much where the smiles cease for me. This past time eating here was so lackluster that even my husband with his fond memories in tow complained about his omelette not being made "with love". He even went as far to remark that his toast was the best thing served to him there in awhile. His omelette was noticeably bland-looking and he said it was "tasteless" and "drab". I stuck with some oatmeal and a side of toast-I figured I couldn't go wrong there.
It's a sad day when you order oatmeal in an attempt to eat something that you're sure won't disappoint your tastebuds. I know oatmeal has no taste-but better to expect it up front than to be disappointed after your first bite.
