  • Review: My friend and I went here for breakfast. My food (basic breakfast deal) was pretty average, my friend said her french toast was the best she'd eaten out in a long time. The place wasn't crowded and service was attentive. I'd go again, but probably choose a different menu item.

  • Order: scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns, sausage, french toast, bacon, fresh-squeezed orange juice, coffee

  • Review: I ordered the house special seafood and pasta, i got 3 tiny mussels, 2 medium shrimp and 2 marble size scallops over a bed of cut garden hose (pasta) for $15.95. The worst food and service I have had yet, could'nt get a napkin to save my life. I was a regular customer but the food and service has been getting worse with every visit. I'm done!

  • Review: I am done with this place.. The service was very poor. Delivered the main course while not finished with the salads. We both ordered the roast beef dinner... I eat two mouthfuls and then asked the waitress if the piles of gravy was from a can. She said no. It was so thick so much and tasted rotten. I said I would take my dinner home for my dog and then we left...
    Good luck you will need it.
    Sorry ,,, I use to love this place

  • Order: salad,roast beer dinner

  • Review: Much improved... I had stopped going to this place as I found the service, food and atmosphere very poor, however new owners can and do make a difference.
    If you have not been there for a few months, give it another try. You will be pleasantly surprised.
    They have cleaned up the place, improved the service and the food is definitely better.

  • Order: Breakfast (eggs, sausage, homefries and coffee)

  • Review: We used to be breakfast regulars (Saturday mornings). Breakfast meals have got hit & miss but main issue is lousy service. Cleanliness is a getting little 'iffy'. Thought we'd try take out dinner - miss the lousy service. Well, they got us again. Order was incomplete. Of course we only found out when we opened it at home. We innmediately called and their only answer was (a) they would 'tell the kitchen for next time' and (b) if we wanted the rest of the order we could drive back and get it (10 minute drive each way, so I guess we can just eat the rest of the meal cold...). No offer of refund, rebate on the next one etc. Tone was basically 'why are you even calling me on this'. Spoke to manager. We finally get it: these folks couldn't care less about the customer. They'll take your money and if you dont come back, so what. Needless to say we wont go back.

  • Order: 2 x souvlaki wraps & salad

  • Review: I was a regular (3-4 times a week) customer however the past several visits were very disappointing. I have filled out 2 comments cards with my name address and phone # however have never received any feedback. The service is very poor and the 'place' is very dirty and getting rundown and apparently they just don't care.
    so now I have decided not to return

  • Order: Benny's Hamburger, fries

  • Review: A great place to go if you don't care about particularly good food. Bring a hangover and it'll be fantastic. Oh, and who the heck uses miracle whip instead of mayonnaise? Poor.

  • Order: A whole bunch of stuff
