“ Not fancy...it is located in a bowling alley! So...not a first date to impress location, BUT....everyone is so nice, pleasant and helpful! I've never had any bad service! The food is not fancy, but the salad dressing is fresh, the bread is not burnt...just toasted. Im always very happy when I dine there. Usually breakfast or lunch... ”
“ Who knew the best homestyle diner would be in a bowling alley?! I had delicious hand battered mozzarella sticks, fresh hot fries and a huge bbq pork sandwich. The waitress Kari was really nice and accommodating. We are definitely coming back soon. ”
“ Not a bad place for a bowling alley diner. Food was not too bad, but nothing special. Good variety of food choice. Noise from the bowling alley was very minimal. Plain decor. Some booths and many tables. Servers are polite and food comes out quickly. Prices are very reasonable. ”
“ I originally walked in for a cup of coffee after my infusion and sat down and was suddenly hungry when I smelled the smells and saw the friendly cooks behind the counter. I then asked if they could make corned beef hash nice and crispy along with hash browns and over easy or sunny side up eggs to which Carol my server said yes. Immediately I was given a pot of black coffee so tasty but smooth that it popped my eyes open after a night of rough sleeping. When the pancake came it was fluffy and it was just absolutely wonderful with the maple syrup which was served with a cold glass of water to wash it down. Once the meal came out, it was absolutely delicious --the eggs were perfect and the hash browns nice and crispy as well as the corned beef hash and when I put it all together it just made for a wonderful setting to which everybody got great praises. The customers were absolutely friendly and inviting and the service was spot on. The place was clean and just wonderful cooking like it's supposed to be so if you're ever out in Sun City give him a check and tell him old Stewart sent you thank you ”
