What People Say

Most Disliked
Some visitors have noted occasional confusion regarding order pick-up, especially during peak times when the diner is bustling. While the friendly staff do their best to keep everyone informed, a few customers have mentioned that improved signage could help streamline the experience for first-timers. Additionally, during peak hours, such as Sunday brunch, the wait for seating can exceed expectations. Since the focus is on breakfast, those looking for dinner options may feel a bit disappointed; the diner primarily operates during morning and lunch hours with little emphasis on evening meals. A few diners have observed that the casual plastic utensils may not match the restaurant's otherwise inviting atmosphere, but this is a minor detail in an otherwise positive dining experience.

A quaint quiet local diner with AMAZING food. The side of hash (corned beef) was so crispy and flavorful! The knife work on the potatoes in the hash was so perfectly even (aka everything cooked evenly) which lended to how amazing every bite was. I loved the Scotty's Benedict which had 3 poached eggs over baked Virginia ham, melty cheese, and English muffins. My partner got a sausage egg and cheese on a hard roll for just 5.95$ and wow did he love it! It had the freshest eggs, juiciest sausage patties, and gooey melty cheese on a tasty roll. You definitely won't leave here hungry.

We ordered breakfast to-go from here on Mother’s Day, came highly recommended from a friend. It was my first time there so I was a bit confused on where to go, but the lovely woman waiting tables helped me. She gave me regular updates on how long it would be until my order was ready, and made sure that we had everything we needed (utensils, napkins, etc). I wish I had gotten her name, because she was so lovely. The food was delicious!! I got an brocolli, mushroom, and cheese omelette, my husband got the shaved steak, egg & cheese sandwich & my toddler got scrambled eggs with cheese. We also got a side of bacon & hashbrowns! Everything was outstanding! We will definitely be back.
