This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

My husband and I visited here for the first time today. Upon entering it looked fine but a bit outdated (especially the bathroom). We were greeted right away by our server. She was very nice but definitely seemed stressed (they are looking for help). My husband ordered the chefs special I believe it was (2 eggs, 2 pancakes, bacon and toast) and I ordered the country fried steak (2 eggs, homefries, a biscuit, country fried steak with sausage gravy). I thought my meal was very good and I would definitely order again. Good size portion, very filling. My husband liked everything but the pancakes. He said they were rubbery like (similar to frozen pancakes or the hotel ones) I did mention it to the waitress, she said they are homemade and offered to have them remade or even take $ off for them. We declined and he ate them as we were hungry. We’d definitely eat there again, just wouldn’t get the pancakes. For the 2 of us it was about $32 before tip (pretty average)

Food was good, service was kind. One of those old school restaurants that hasn't updated anything or cleaned the vents in a decade. We don't, not recommend it, but wonder if there is better options on this highway exit. It's definitely a local hang out so its gotta be consistently good. The skillet was a huge portion, the french toast was ehh and only 1 piece. Prices were average.

Nothing better than a solid diner on a Sunday afternoon. This place was busy. Sign said to take a seat even if it's dirty, so we did.The wait staff was great keeping up with the crowd. They came over and cleaned took our order and breezed out. I ordered the Giambotte because I have never heard of this dish before. Big plate of chopped up potatoes sausage, onions, eggs and cheese. I was so full afterwards I waddled out of the place. She got the eggs, bacon and toast. We were both very happy and full. Enjoy

A new find and a new favorite. This is the first place I look forward to ordering an omelet. I'm typically not an omelet person and now I am 🙂. The portion sizes are also quite size-able, staff is friendly, diner vibe is refreshing and classic.

A fun little family diner with a folksy vibe. It's definitely a very busy place, but that's because the food is delicious. There is a large parking lot in the front and the back. The staff was friendly and efficient. Their chicken fried steak was hot and savory. I got it along with some sunnyside up eggs, biscuits and hash browns. I am very happy we stopped by.
