Food was good, but I thought $30 for 2 western omelets and 2 tea's is a little pricey. Won't be going back. Much better choices to eat at that are cheaper like Cracker Barrel. More

New to the area and I think I have found my new regular place to eat. It’s not flashy but does not need to be. They greet you as soon as you enter your order is taken quickly and the food is DELICIOUS!! I had the Flounder special and it did not disappoint. The wings were very tasty also. The young man serving the tables was very sweet and attentive. I could tell they definitely had customers that were regulars and I understand why. I will be back very soon!

This diner is a hidden gem I passed by every time I go to my parents house. It's a diner that feels cozy and authentic. Not upscale, but great coffee and eggs cooked exactly as runny as you want them. Pancakes were on point, and bacon was crispy. Get here.

Tried this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Grilled chicken salad was so good. Went back last weekend and had cheeseburger special. Best burger and fried 9.00 for the combo. Abel and his wife are super sweet .
Over a year later and now my favorite breakfast spot

Tucked in and easy to overlook is the best little locally owned diner across from the side of Park's Chevrolet. Abel's serves the best Souvlaki in town! Plentiful with grilled mixed veggies and mashed potatoes, your tongue will lick your face! What a gem here in town!

Stopped here last couple weekends for breakfast. They serve a shrimp omelette. I've never heard of one , so I got one. Shrimp, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cheese. One of the best omelettes I've ever ate. Food was quick, service was good. People are very nice. Can't wait to come back and eat here again.

They serve breakfast all day, but we couldn't get coffee at 2pmish? A bit of a language barrier with the server, as far as ordering food, but it came out quick and hot for standard midday breakfast fare. I will definitely be back to try their burrito specials that were listed. More
