Barb PopelkaAugust 21, 2016Had to try this place after reading all the reviews...I would definately say the food, the atmosphere and our waitress Jennifer were exceptionally the best. I plan on becoming a frequent visitor..
Chicken Dumpling soup is the best! If you are coming around 10 PM wait until after 10 because the 2nd shift servers ignore you until the 3rd shift comes in which is ok because Linda is the best!!
The holiday decorations (not just for Christmas) are always fun. I like to eat here several times a year to see what to see how it looks.- Rose TraubFebruary 4, 2014The chicken dumplings soup was great, the portion sizes were good, it was a coke a cola theme restaurant
Erik RowleyFebruary 11, 2015The chicken dumpling soup is worth a stop. But the staff was not, very towny they ignored me most the time and talked amongst the regulars the entire time. I felt like the junior high outcast.
Their Alfredo sauce is heavier than most, but if you get some dishes without (especially the chicken kick) they're infinitely better.
Best diner food! Some of my favorites are the sour cream and chive fries and of course their chicken dumpling soup!
This is a quaint little place. 😊 I love the Italian food and the burgers are scrumptious!- Graydient CreativeApril 16, 2014great variety! milkshakes, cheese fries, breakfast and sandwiches for our group!
Maurice HarrisMay 19, 2013Great diner and good food. I can see this as a place to go after a long night drinking on the town
Rachel May DeanneJune 3, 2019Johnny V's grilled cheese with the tomato bisque soup was delish! I'm excited to try more om noms 😋
Linda is the best waitress ever!! Tip her at least 25% every time.. chicken tortilla is great and the peanut butter cup shake is awesome.
Christie FlessertJanuary 11, 2014The Veggie Melt sandwich was very good. It's nice to see vegetarian-friendly options.
CometDecember 6, 2012After bar close The Hungary man is the way to go, then take the pancakes home for when you wake up hung over and still want breakfast.
have yet to get a decent server. Have 2 ask the bus boy for coffee after our waitress forgot and was busy talking and after she delivered our food she never checked on us again.
They have the best bacon, +cheese omelette. Also the best chive fries.
Carrot cake pancakes... oh wait they stopped making them. Like to bring them back!- They have the absolute best tomato soup here, also the johnny v's grilled cheese is yummy and unique!
Best chicken dumpling soup around... $6 a quart...great service and late night hours...
Jamie MerloMarch 23, 2012If you get The Hungry Man, split it with a friend. Too much! lol And the dumpling soup is amazing!
Carrie MufflerSeptember 24, 2012Eww. I went here once and my brother cut his mouth on one of those plastic bread tabs. It was in his mashed potatoes!! Another time I was there I had cigarette Ashes in my salad.
The filet and eggs can't be beat for $6.95 on the weekday morning special menu.
Tuesdays cheese soup or chicken dumpling....decisions decisions!!!!!
Candice BerrymanApril 13, 2014Sarah was horrible and I can tell you for our 1st time experience, it was not good. I think her kids or someone she knew really well was at the table next to us so she basically camped out there.
If you don't run into someone you know while at this Stallis hangout, it's an odd day.
I used to really like comin n orderin from here but no now I definitely will not be. How can people mess up someones order damn there every time when clearly it was to a waitress standin there!?- There are two waitresses you do not want. One's bame is Danielle (lunch time) and the other is Briana (dinner/late shift). Worst two waitresses I have ever had.
Rebecca Wissing BurnsMarch 23, 2014It's starting to go down hill here. It took 7 min to get a server. 20 more after that for a soda. And it's been 40 minutes since we ordered our food. Still waiting.
