Food was decent, salad was just lettuce only. The Tenderloin had to much breading on it, otherwise was good. Kind of reminded me of a Denny's. Restaurant was very clean and service was great More

I had the special which was chop suey. It was lacking in strong flavor and was more rice than suey. I would not get again. Service was very good and friendly. More

We seated ourselves for an excellent breakfast on a Tuesday morning after camping nearby. The server greeted us and took our drink order right away. She delivered our food just as efficiently and with the same genuine friendliness. We all got two delicious meals from our order, which was priced just right! More

Ordered take out. 2 Pancakes and a cup of soup costs over $19. The soup was vegetable beef and there was not one piece of beef in the soup. Pancakes were mediocre at best. The people were nice and the place was clean but not great on the food. More
