This is definitely a quaint quirky little diner. Of course you might go for the biscuits and gravy, but I go for the classic diner experience. Not break the bank prices and it reminds me of my papa. Their menu items are definitely country you can get eggs and hashbrowns or you can even get liver and onions I definitely can't give you a review on that lol
