Stopped in today with my parents for a quick lunch. Food was hot, quick and perfectly cooked. Portions are very generous the cheesesteak was the best I have had in years. My folks were overwhelmed by the friendliness and attentiveness of the server and owner. We have found a new favorite place to eat when they are in town. 5++++ Stars.

What a lovely spot!! Owner and his wife are super friendly, food is reasonably priced with generous portions and tasty as hell. Eating here feels like you stopped at an old friend’s house and they’re welcoming you with a home cooked meal. Great service, delicious food, truly lovely people. We stopped for lunch, my partner had a monstrous breakfast sandwich with a side of hashbrowns and I had a cheeseburger sub with fried cauliflower. Both of our sub rolls were buttered and toasted which was a nice touch. Cauliflower was fried perfectly and served with a flavorful ranch dressing. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the cheeseburger sub’s default configuration is bacon, fried onions, house made special sauce (reminded me of Trader Joe’s Incredisauce) in addition to standards like lettuce and tomatoes. This is a real gem, if you’re in the area, stop in for a bite and some good chit chat. If you’ve watched Bob’s Burgers - this establishment is what it would be like if Bob and Linda decided to serve more than just burgers. Oh, just like Bob’s, this establishment is cash only. ATM is on site, $2.50 service fee (pretty standard). Fun side note; while we were leaving we grabbed a soda from the machine outside. It didn’t seem to want to take a dollar bill; the owner noticed and came outside with a handful of quarters. He explained the bill grabber has been on the fritz and they were waiting for a new part. He wouldn’t accept the cash from us and went back inside to finish closing up. What a nice touch - genuinely great folks running this place!!

Such a great experience. You can tell it’s family run & you feel like a part of the family. I got the chicken cheese steak & the rest of our group got breakfast. Everyone thought their food was delicious and well worth the price. Will definitely be back.
