Well, to be honest, for my needs, this place gets a 1 star, but I felt that would be unfair. I knew what I was getting myself into and I was apparently the only person at the table who felt let down by the food selections. Plus this is a small town diner where everyone appears to know everyone else, and the requisite atmosphere is part of its charm. The fact that it was a smoke-wherever-you-like-while-you-eat type establishment was not one of its finer points for me.
It's your standard low key diner complete with local teenagers who have their own idea of how food service should run. (I'm not slamming them, just making an observation. They were perfectly adequate for the establishment, even if they did yell at each other from across the room while throwing our straws at us.)
One part of our group went there for breakfast and raved about it, so the rest of us made our way over there for lunch. I can't speak to the breakfast food, but the selection did look a bit more appetizing for me personally.
There is one color of food: brown. And for the most part, one preparation: fried. If you like that, this is a great place because they do it justice and in rather large quantity for the price. If you've heard of Michael Pollan, like your body, or don't want diabetes, stay away. ;) Ha, so that's a bit harsh I know, but I'm just calling it as I see it. For what it's worth, my salad and baked potato weren't bad, perhaps in line with something you'd get from a fast food restaurant.
If you like down home, country style cooking in a family style environment, enjoy big portions, meat, starch, fried food and copious amounts of sugar, salt and soda, this is definitely your place. If you are looking for health conscious, light, or vegetarian, you might want to go grocery shopping at IGA instead.
