    I really like the potatoes that come with the entrees, a great alternative to hash browns.

    The best food I've had in a long time. Very friendly staff and did I mention that it was the best food I've had in a long time.

    Good food, service is either great or leaves you wanting more, and creepy stalker waiters who bring you "serve" you. Otherwise, house soup is great and so are the biscuits and gravy.

    Ask for a Kentucky Hot Brown. It isn't on the menu any longer, but they'll make it for you if you ask.

    Meatloaf was pretty good Chicken pot pie was ok. Overall an interesting themed restaurant. Food was a little more fancy than your average diner.

    The rainster is where it's at, but their coffee is usually burnt. Not a bad toss up.

    Service is incredibly slow. Snarky waiter. Hope the food makes up for this poor visit...
