My rating has slipped a couple of notches. We've eaten there for 30 years or more. I see some of the very same waitresses they had when we started going there. The daytime ones are cranky and rude these days, but some of the evening staff are friendlier. It doesn't matter who serves you, they will slam the cutlery in a pile on the table, spill the coffee on the table when they fill your cup, march off with only half of your order while you are still speaking to them. Argh! Once the owner passed away, I think it slipped another notch. I think they should fire all of them and hire new fresh faces - young smiling ones, not grouchy frowning ones. They re-painted a couple of years ago - an untasteful gory pink. However, they still have the same menu items, some of which still taste OK. Prices have gone up. I remember coffee being much lower and some people used to hang around for refills for a couple of hours. They'll stop giving you refills if you hang around that long while they're busy, though. I'm sorry to see it slip in the star ratings, but its the truth.
