The casual, local-style diner offers an extensive menu with more than 100 dishes to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The breakfast menu features American breakfast classics, such as omelets, pancakes and waffles, as well as roast prime rib or New York steak with eggs benedict. For lunch and dinner, enjoy a variety of salads and sandwiches, local-style entrees like Chop Steak, soup and noodles, or lobster and teishoku.

Throughout the years, the restaurant has changed ownership a few times, but still maintains its legacy of serving freshly cooked local favorites and comfort food, along with a friendly staff, which includes many long-time employees.
