Lots of homemade favorites reasonably priced ,,, George waits on everyone and sings along the way,,,a stop we will remember next time in Maine! Thanks for a great memory George, Gayle and Rick!"

"The food was great, but the service, I will definitely won't be back He must be the owner, the only server, kinda a little bit rude."
"Chef George is quite the entertainer as our breakfast was amazing. The diner only holds 25 people, but those lucky enough to enter are in for a real treat. We had eggs Benedict, sausage gravy and biscuits, home-fries, and a triple berry pancake. All were excellent and highly recommended. Don’t let the massage sign out front scare you away. It’s an incredible experience with great food."
