Sep 2024: Olde location but modern dining room. A more vintage looking decor would suit this place better. The eggs Benedict was a 6/10 and the turkey avacado sandwich an 8/10. Service was spot on. The tables smelled back. Saw them being cleaned with a greasy rag. That needs to be rinsed out with hot soapy water every so often.

First time visiting, and I saw that they had received recognition for the best grilled cheese. So, I just had to try their adult grilled cheese. Let me just say, it didn't disappoint! Great food and service.

Their food is delish. The new cooks are cheap with the scrambled eggs ugh. I ordered country breakfast. Let them know to give you enough scrambled smh. Otherwise their food is very tasty.

Original review (2023):
Dined here a couple times, and walked by many more times.
I thought for awhile about how to review this place. On one hand, I like to support small business. On the other hand, this business really needs to make some changes.
The food: 3 stars? nothing really wrong here. Although my husband detests mayo and specifically asked for no mayo on his burger and they brought him a burger with lots of mayo on it. Besides that, no major complaints. The food is not delicious or incredible, but it is totally fine. & The price is very fair for what you get.
Service: is mediocre, not good but not bad.
Atmosphere: absolutely awful. Crowded and noisy (also echo-y).
The worst: wait time. There is nowhere to wait - the place is too small. People will be waiting on the sidewalk blocking flow of others walking. Once my husband and I were walking through town exploring and we saw people waiting outside in the rain to get in - it was like a school cafeteria inside, noisy and crowded. There was a group waiting for a table right inside the door and a second group on the sidewalk outside. When we were coming back from our walk, a half hour later, the exact same people were still in line. Who knows how long they waited for a table? The thing is, the food isn’t excellent, the prices aren’t incredible - just totally average. So it’s really not worth a wait like that. I’d wait 5 minutes tops to eat here.
EDIT August 2024: we decided to try this place one more time since it was a rainy weekday morning, we figured it would not be too busy. There were several vacant tables so we were optimistic upon arrival. We were seated promptly and brought water but then were left with menus for over 10 minutes. Just as we were getting up to leave, after waiting around 15 min, someone finally came to take our order. We stayed, but I wish we hadn’t. Our food was not good this time at all. My husband ordered the ham steak and he said it tasted like how he’d guess a shoe sole would taste. It was very thin, tough, leathery and overly salty (ham is usually salty, this was apparently excessive). My food was alright but not good, I didn’t finish it. It was just lacking flavor. It’s just not worth it! There are better restaurants in town.

This place has the most amazing food and every one of their staff members is an absolute delight. There is not one thing on the menu that isn't fantastic. Even when they are very busy the wait time is never ridiculous and everyone is quick to make sure that you got your drinks almost as soon as you are seated.
