This is as authentic a truck stop diner as you are going to find - large portions, a not-to-exotic extensive menu, worn out formica countertops, reasonable prices, salt of the earth waitresses and a really varied clientele. I am sure at one time this diner was located on the wrong side of the tracks literally and figuratively, but with gentrification as it is, it is now not so bad.
I have been here twice for dinner and ordered breakfast both times. Some of their dinner entrees look a little scary - mystery brown meat smothered in mystery brown gravy, but you can't usually go wrong with breakfast stuff. They have really good pancakes (but lousy syrup) and outstanding omelettes and hash browns. I had the chicken salsa omelette and couldn't believe how much chicken it was filled with.
Despite our full bellies we had to try a slice of their pies. Both the lemon meringue and the banana cream are delicious and are fairly inexpensive.
Not a bad place for a back-to-basics type meal.
