Great little restaurant. Good food, good portions, good prices.I had the Gut buster and hash browns; it lived up to its name. I wish my hometown had a diner half as good.

Amazing fried chicken, great tenderloins, and fantastic breakfast. Their pancakes are the best around, and the owners and staff are the nicest. It's worth the drive.
