Notes: T was unavailable, so M joined J as a guest reviewer. J ordered three appetizers instead of a meal and enjoyed them, but found the Asian Nachos (fried wontons covered in peanut butter sauce) a little weird. M said the mashed potatoes were a little bland and the meatloaf needed a bit more zip.

Notes: A nice family-run diner, probably hasn't changed much in its 45 years in business. The food was good but not great. A little sparse on the home fries with the Chicken Parmesan, and the Carrot Cake was a little small, but we still left satisfied. Bonus point for bringing over a whole pitcher of water instead of having to refill the Dixie cup-sized glass every two minutes - nobody else had one, never hurts to ask!
