OK - no - it doesn't have a Michelin star ... but that's not what I'm expecting from a Diner... but if I were to compare it to others I've been to - one of the top for sure! First - the location is easy - lots of parking and shopping. The service was fantastic. Some of the best I've enjoyed. Staff were attentive, quick, friendly, and very helpful. I noted that many of them were stopping by each others tables to check in, offer help, etc. I noted several regulars in that many of the staff knew them by name. One couple drives over every Saturday morning for brunch - 45 minutes each way!
I had the chicken fried steak. Cooked perfectly. Gravy was VERY flavorful. Eggs just as I asked, and the hash browns were perfectly cooked. My dining companion had a skillet (I hate to say I can't remember which one it was) - but both of us said "wow" after our first bite.
Water and coffee cups were kept full. Table was kept clear - but never felt like folks were "hovering" ... I asked for the manager - he/she wasn't on duty that time - but they sent over the senior staff member there that day and I think she was thinking "oh my - a complaint" lol.. but I had nothing but praise. She filled me in on many of the inside stories... owners who are passionate about their food and service, food that is prepared fresh onsite - no Sysco can's and buckets! I noted a couple of notes about the french fries... I'll have to try them myself and see - that's one of my pet peeves - gotta do the fries right if you want the other ingredients to shine when they're on the plate.
They offer nice weekend drink specials and lunch and dinner specials each day. I'm looking forward to the next of many visits.
Great job!!
