This is your classic dive diner. Food is unique, staff is fun and never changes, and the place has been here forever.

This place was amazing. Their breakfast was awesome. Plan to try their other stuff for lunch and dinner items. This is a cash only establishment if you go there for the first time. Great size food portions. I highly recommend this place. I lived here for quite a few years before I tried it. If you haven't already tried it try this place.

I thoroughly enjoyed the small-town atmosphere and the food was magnificent. I’ve lived here for a few years but this is the first time that I’ve been there. I like the owner and he has warm personality. I’ve taken my grandson and my daughter there. Best food ever, great prices! I will go back!

Best omelette I’ve ever had hands down! I haven’t been there in 10 years but yet I’m sitting in bed craving Chili John’s omelettes from Florida. My mom used to bring me here a lot as a little girl and I still haven’t had a better breakfast.

Just had an excellent cheeseburger (hand formed patty cooked and seasoned beautifully with a fresh, tasty bun), fries (fresh cut potatoes fried to perfection) and chili (good, spicy, flavorful as you should expect from a good diner).

It is an older location but everything is well maintained and spotlessly clean. Even the bathrooms.

Nice atmosphere.

Can’t beat it for the price and quality.
