So I tried this place a couple of times before deciding to give it this review. Which worked out well because it would have been just one star after my first visit.
My first visit was well over a year ago - it took me that long to get over the experience to the point that I was willing to give it a second try.
It is cute and seems like it SHOULD be good. Just a "down home" kind of feel with little country black bears everywhere.
Our first time we sat forever before anyone came. As we waited for our food we saw our waitress get into a confrontation with what appeared to be a manager or something and then the next thing we knew we saw her storm out of the diner crying. We didn't really know what to think but after a while our food still hadn't come and our waitress was MIA. So we asked someone about our order, then waited a long time again and finally got it. I had a battered fish dish and became nauseated and sick later that evening. My husband had the meatloaf, which was a 2 on a scale of 1-10. And even after it became obvious to the staff that we didn't have a waitress anymore, they brought us the food and then never came back. We had to hunt down someone to give us a check to be able to leave.
Gave it a second try recently. The food didn't make me ill this time so that was a plus. Our waitress didn't leave the building, also a vast improvement from the last time. But our wait for the food to come was pretty long and unfortunately it wasn't so great that you felt the wait was worth it. But the food wasn't terrible, it just took a long time and wasn't that good. Had the wait not been so long I might have even thrown in an extra star on this review.
