Limited, but tasty menu. Good service and reasonably priced. The only drawback is no AC, so it can be a warm on a summer day.

Only in small town America will you find something like this car wash turned diner....and a great one at that! Enthusiastic service, homemade dishes make for tasty breakfasts and lunches. Be prepared to wait during popular times - weekly lunches - and once you're there you'll know it's really all about the food and service. Atmosphere? Well, like that of... More

This is a great breakfast and lunch diner with delicious food cooked right in front of you. Crab cakes were TO DIE FOR! The carrot cake was delicious and all the other cakes and cookies looked yummy, too!

I've eaten here a few times, but I'm finally getting around to reviewing it. I really wanted to give this place five stars as I love eating here. Thing that keeps it four star to me - too much Sysco, not enough local. One example - packaged sweet potato fries are good, but made on the premises is better. No... More

Never judge a book by it's cover! I was sent to this restaurant and when I arrived I though "were they joking?" It's in an old gas station with a car wash! Boy was I surprised! The food was out of this world wonderful and the service was flawless. I've driven by this place many times and never stopped because... More

Today, I went for breakfast and came back for lunch....if they was open for dinner, I would be dining there tonight. It's small in size, but the menu is packed with delicious choices. There is true talent in this kitchen and you can tell they enjoy serving good food. A terrific, quality meal in a converted gas station with a... More

This restaurant isn't your ordinary eatery! Don't let the outside facade fool you. The food was extremely good and presented well. I ordered the Rockfish open-faced sandwich and I wish I had had room for another! It was dee-licious! We liked the shoe string fries also. My wife said that she had had better tasting she crab soup. Crab cakes... More

Go for good food, service, and value. Crab cakes excellent, really good breakfasts, lots of choices for lunch - something for everyone. Fun place to go, and you can watch the preparers cook your food. Seems very clean, but I wish the cooks would wear hairnets!

This is a cool place to try. the food is cooked fresh and the service is good. A little pricey for lunch, but the crabcake sandwich i had was worth the price. the soups are also deliciou. i would recommend trying at least once.
