    We've been eating at this restaurant on and off for about 10 years.  They're located in a small plaza on 11th street (US933), which also houses a Martins grocery store and a handful of other small businesses.

    Prices and food quality have remained fairly constant over the years, though I think they do serve better lunch and dinner items than breakfast, which is generally not the case with most restaurants.  Hard to mess up breakfast, but their pancakes are a bit "wheaty" (hard to find good pancakes anyplace here!) and their omelets seem to be assembled by someone who doesn't actually eat them, if that makes any sense.

    Lunch and dinner items though are good, and typical for a sit-down, medium priced restaurant.  Club sandwiches, beef and mashed potatoes, salads, and I believe they also have a fish fry every Friday evening.

    Management of the restaurant seems to have changed hands a few times over the years and it's beginning to look a bit threadbare inside.  I've noticed some businesses, specifically hotels, follow a pattern from the time they open to when they fail wherein they start changing hands, maintenance/upkeep falls off, they hire a lot of cheap labor, and eventually the place hits critical mass.  Based on this model I'd have to say that they've got about 4-5 years left unless they do some serious revamping, and maybe restaff the place.  IMO.

    All in all though not a bad place to eat.  Recommend.

    Past couple of times I have been in at dinner time I have been dissapointed. Taco salad in the shell and the shell tasted of freezer burn. Tonight my liver was burnt.  Service was friendly but slow. I will try breakfast again before I give up on this place. New picture of liver posted.

    My family and I went here for an early dinner. The food was cold it was not very good. The service was super slow. I have two very small grandchildren they shared a children's meal they charged us a dollar for an extra plate. This server didn't know the price of a dinner item and charged me the wrong price. The bathrooms were very dirty.. I do not recommend this restaurant.
