This diner feels like an old country store. You walk in and there is the deli to the right and the dried goods to the left. You walk to the back of the store and you enter into the dining area. I really feel as though I have been transported back to an earlier era when I enter in and sit down.
As we seat ourselves, a cute little waitress (mama?) about 4ft tall shuffles by and asks us for our drink order. In her heavy accent, she says "Okay" and shuffles off. When she returned with our Pepsi, we order the following:
Ham and cheese with home fries
2 eggs, over-easy, toast and pancakes
The food was quick to come from the kitchen and we dug in. Everything tasted as it should in that generic way. The eggs were properly cooked as was the omelet. The home fries were soft and tasted of potato and the pancakes were good, too. I must say, that this is a first for me when it comes to a restaurant -- I am neutral. I don't feel one way or the other as far as if it were good or bad. To me, that means that this is a 2.5-star restaurant. Why does it get the bump-up then? I laugh every time I think of Mama shuffling around.
