"Great little dinner. The chicken noodle soup was delicious, as was the grilled ham & cheese. The service was good and the waitress was friendly. Definitely not the fanciest place, but a solid place for a good meal."

- Bryan M.

"Solid little stop, honestly. I went there for breakfast and had three eggs, corned beef hash and toast with coffee. The place could use a little updating but it works for a small town diner. The coffee wasn't awesome, but they aren't a coffee shop either. I was disappointed that my over-easy eggs were more toward over-hard, but the corned beef hash (canned) was crispy like I ordered. I will likely be back."

- Sam E.

"This is a small little gem of a highway diner located in Lyons Ohio. The food was great and their pies looked delicious, but my meal left me plenty full. My mushroom and Swiss was 1/2 lb and tasted great! Deep fried mushrooms also hit the spot. The French fries seemed a little undercooked, but no other complaints. Service was prompt and friendly."

- Jeremy G.

"First time we had breakfast here. Food was good,service was fast and staff was very friendly. Prices were a little high, but that's seems to be normal now days. If I get back in the area I'll stop again."
