Say what you will about the decor and location; the food is great! It is a neighborhood institution!
My all-time favorite is the roasted turkey dinner. My family and I came here on Thanksgiving Day several years ago, and it was better - WAY better - than my own mother's cooking. Mashed potatoes are homemade, creamy and flavorful. Green beans are fresh, and as the other reviews state, the pies are terrific. Chocolate cream - yes please!
My sister loves the turkey pot pie, which is also delicious!
Staff are friendly, and have, on more than one occasion, accommodated my request to be seated in the back dining room so my hearing-impaired mother, could enjoy a little more quiet atmosphere.
Only suggestion I have is for a little update to the decor. It is overdue, and would be a good investment.
