I was glad to have a diner so close usually go to nudys cafe or crackle barrel for breakfast but i wanted to try this and i will never be back even though its 2 min away from home .when we arrived had to do circles to find parking ,once inside stood around waiting to be seated after numerous employees passed us , at our table our server came took our drink order and took like 10 min to return to take our order , no kids menu , took another 30 min to get our food and once we got our food we rarely saw our server for drink refills or condiments.had to wave my hand in the air everytime we needed anything when and if i saw her ...was probably outside smoking or on cell in the back updating facebook or something , food was not impressive ..not worth it ...i asked for our check which took 10- 15 min .SO time to pay and our bill was $54 and the guy was about to slide my card and told him to hold up cause all we had was waffles ,scrapple ,chip beef and omelette. So he ask me to wait and takes 10 more min to talk to our server and comes back and tell me that she had accidentally added the previous guest to ours And asked me to pay cash cause he wasnt sure how to fix the check and cant override the amount if i used my card i told him i didnt have cash and he asked me if i can go to atm ...i just laughed told him no ...he took off and came back in like 15 min and said he was sorry and that the bill will be taken care of . ..glad i didnt spend a penny here and nor will they receive any future business from me ...overall disappointed and unsatisfied with my whole experience. I have no problem paying for good service ,food, and experience but this place is where my money will never go

Been here once.... we walk in the servers all standing around one server says "whos turn is it"( Thats kinda unprofessional.) We got seated. Got drinks. Waited for about 10 minutes before someone took our order. Mind you there is about 7 servers standing around coughing in their hands on there phones going out to smoke coming back in and not washing their hands ( So unsanitary.) So the manager takes our order. our food was out within 10 minutes. We eat our food. Food was good. We sit there and wait and wait and wait for a good 15 minutes as other servers were walking past us to go outside. (The place was not busy at all!!!) Finally a waiter asked if we needed anything else I said no just a box and the check. Mind you Im 9 months pregnant ( very uncomfortable ) so we get our box and wait about 15 minutes for our check... We never got it so we get up and go to counter to pay. The lady asked for check told her we didnt get one. She asked about our experience and we told her it was okay and told her everything that happened.. she said she was sorry for our experienc.... We only got chicken cheese steak and a turkey Ruben and the bill was $25.00 there prices are high... I will not be returning to this diner in the future because of the service.

The renovations to the building were well done and the diner looks great. The name is perfect as it is situated on Lincoln Highway. The booths and floor were clean. Our waiter was friendly and attentive making sure everything was good and drinks were filled. The menu is colorful and laid out well, there are a lot of options. My wife had the Texas Turkey Burger with sweet potato fries. She thought both were very good. I had a prime rib which I was sceptical about as I like it prepared as a cut from a large roast, nice and pink on the outside. It was cooked differently but was medium rare on the inside and very tender, I think my fork could almost have cut it. This is a diner not a steak house but I was happy with the flavor and tenderness of the steak. The kids liked their meals, big portions. The prices were fair. The reason for the 4 stars were small things, but, they were out of kids menus (they did find one eventually to show us), they were out of kids cups, they did not have crayons or kid activities which is typical of diners. My guess is they will work these kinks out. All in all it was a good experience and we will be back.

This review is based on one visit, but I will update after more. This diner used to be a pizzeria, and there are still a few visual clues in the interior that suggest its origin. Its light and spacious inside, with booths and tables available. The booths do not have fixed tables, which makes them more comfortable for larger patrons. Parking is a little bit of a challenge at peak times, with cars often waiting for a slot. The food is hot and tasty, and served quickly by an attentive wait staff. In fact, the speed of service helps to lessen the parking issues, since there isnt a lot of waiting for food. The menu, available on their website, is surprisingly impressive for a diner - certainly above average for choices. Breakfast offerings are fairly standard, but with a few interesting extras. The lunch menu has many options, and there will be something available for any palette. I deducted one star for the awkward parking, above average prices, and the poor soda choices (Pepsi products

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!! As you pull in you will notice a problem right away, the parking is awful. What makes this even worse is the fact the waitresses park RIGHT IN THE FRONT SPOTS. So for all the people complaining about parking now you know why there arent more open spots. The Food is average at best and kind of expensive for the quality. Like many of others have stated, the wait staff stand around, take turns smoking and most seem to have no customer skills. The fact that management watches them do this and allows them to park RIGHT out front shows that like the others before them this place will not make it. You can get by with horrible service at first because its new, give it a little time without fixing your problem and we will all talk about what the next business to go in here will be. Hopefully management actually listens this time, if your workers dont wash their hands I dont care how good the food is.

My husband and I went for breakfast on a Saturday. Food was ok...we had to wait A LONG TIME to be served listening to the waitress yell at the cook every single time he didnt do something right. They had 1 waitress because the other 1 had to leave to buy ice. Most of them dont wear uniforms so you dont know who is who. The guy that was running the register was also cleaning tables, wiping the tables down and making toast (without washing his hands). Finally at the end, we received a check after asking for it and they added an entire extra meal which I told the waitress about and it took another 10+ min to get a new check. Clean the place and the employees up and get some customer service training and well try it again.
