On 9/3/2026 Cindy A. had this to say:
My husband and I knew the owners back in the 1980s. We came here regularly and it was NEVER disappointing. Staff changed a bit over the years, but always great. When he died, it's been hard for me to return, but I will be tomorrow, as I celebrate what would have been our 50th wedding anniversary. And I'll be bringing my daughter who was an infant in a highchair when we first came. She was even treated like a princess! I love the family, love the food, love the service..can't wait!

On 8/12/2026 Joey Catanzaro had this to say:
We love coming here. Excellent “home” feel to the place. It’s like a mix between your grandmas place and Cracker Barrel. Has a full bar for drinks also. The French onion soup is the best you’ll have. The honey pecan chicken was phenomenal, the pork chop was perfectly cooked, and the cheesecake and pie were out of this world. We picked them up for a family party and everyone had rave reviews on them. If you need a good honest meal you have to come here and try it out. Keep it up
