I came here on a Wednesday for lunch due to a recommendation by a friend. He said it was a good spot for food and family owned which is why he liked it. Upon entering the establishment there was a chalkboard full of specials which we only had a few seconds to look at since we were promptly seated. The restaurant was packed full and rather noisy but that gave it even more of a family feel IMO.
The menu was pretty big for a diner and was packed full of good choices. When I went to wash my hands after being seated I walked past everyone's table glancing at all the food since it was my first time there. Every single dish I walked past looked amazing! When I returned to my seat I decided on going with the one special I remembered, the shepherds pie. I have never had a shepherds pie (I know I know...) so after googling it I dove in head first.
My meal came with a cup of soup, I chose chicken noodle. It was very good but the vegetable beef is what I should have gone for. When my shepherds pie arrived I started chowing down. It was pretty good but not amazing, but considering it was my first shepherds pie it could have been the best shepherds pie in the world and I wouldn't know. I felt that if the broccoli was replaced with peas it would have been better. Anyways... the shepherds pie is the only thing that kept this place from getting 5 stars. I will surely be returning to try other items since the other food looked so amazing, everything was home made and the prices were very reasonable. Oh yea, and when I was leaving I saw 20 different cakes in the display case that were over a foot tall! I will return for the cake alone!
I am looking forward to returning and hopefully updating my review to 5 stars once I eat something I am more familiar with!
