We have been driving by this place for ages. We finally stopped in on a Friday after work about 5:30. The place was half full and we were seated immediately. We got our drink order right away and then were given our leisure to peruse the menu. Lots of tempting choices so she had to check back with us a few times until we were ready. Decisions.....
We ordered the chicken fried steak, and fish and chips. The chicken fried steak was crispy (almost too crispy) and flavorful and loaded with gravy. The potatoes (red skinned mashed) couldn't have been better. It came with grilled/steamed veggies done just right.
The fish and chips were moist and flavorful while crispy and not greasy. The only complaint on the fish and chips was that while the portion served was big, the pieces themselves were smaller than we've had other places. The french fries looked better than they tasted. Not crispy enough for us.
We got pie to go. The chocolate cream pie was a disappointment. I don't know what they use for the chocolate filling, but it had an odd taste, almost like a cherry liquor maybe? Anyway, didn't care for it. For the price, would rather have gone for a Marie Callendar's and had a full pie.
Will we go back? Yes, this place has good diner quality food. The salads served at other tables looked pretty darn good and what looked to be chicken and biscuits at the next table is going to get us back there for sure. Their meatloaf special and club sandwiches are on the list too.
Okay, for some real complaints. There was a burnt on the grill smell in the air when we came in. Maybe due to the openness of the kitchen to the dining area. But a little unpleasant. When we went to pick out our to go dessert and asked what was in the bear claw, the hostess was clueless. Let us hope she was new. One of the waitresses popped over however and helped us out. Brown sugar and cinnamon or plain by the way.
