This place was great. I'm here on vacation and wanted a kind of home cooked meal so I got the spaghetti and meatballs. Huge portion! I got it to- go and carried it back to the Best Western and my arm was tied!. Really delicious. Great flavor for the sauce and the meatballs. Old school diner atmosphere. They were busy and short staffed and yet they greeted me immediately and I was in and out in 20 minutes. Really impressive. Locals say the burgers are also amazing so looking forward to my next visit to Dayton already!

This was worth the beautiful drive all on the back roads from Yakima. Told the men we drove from Yakima so Dad (the owner) was that man and came over while we were eating. I had a Philly Calzone and a Not your Dads tea. They were both excellent and as usual I have some for a snack later. We will be going back someday. The owner thanked us for driving over just to eat at his place. Highly recommended y’all. Friendly Fast and good. What more did you want??

Stopped for lunch on a weekday excursion. Oblivious, we wandered in about ten minutes before opening and were welcomed. The hamburger and fries were outstanding. The tables weren't sticky. Service and atmosphere get fewer stars only to highlight the excellent food. Recommended.

Cool little spot. They are not playing with the Scorpion Burger. That was hot!! Only issue was food was dropped at our table and the guy too noff without without asking if we needed anything else. Had to go back to the counter to ask for Catch-up. But that is pretty minor. Happy eating. :-)

Small town diner vibe with fresh made food. The milk shake was perfection and the nontraditional club sandwich hit the spot. Also Love the Sinatra-centric soundtrack. Looking forward to going back sometime to enjoy the bar.
