"Owner Jennie Newell ensures that everyone feels like family when entering the 30-year-old diner named after her mother. This retro-style spot embraces nostalgia with all-day breakfast items, like chicken-fried steak, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. Come on a weekday after 11 a.m. for a Monte Cristo sandwich or beer-battered fish and chips in a cheery, well-lit space." - Meaghan Clark Tiernan
