This is a gem. This is totally a place you'd expect to see on the Food Network and want to go there. The portions are gigantic. I always want to order an appetizer just to taste something different on the menu. Appetizer and entree is just way too much food. Expect to take home a huge doggie bag. There's an awesome brie/polenta appetizer. The one dish I see a ton of people order, that I just haven't had the guts to is chicken fried steak on a big pile of waffles. It looks delish. I've never taken my daughter there but think it's a perfectly fine place to take kids. It's a little diner and a bit noisy so a squeal here and there isn't going to matter. Also, the staff couldn't be nicer, in my experience and helpful when you can't decide what on earth to order off the fabulous menu.
I love this restaurant and always come here when I'm in town. They have really good comfort good and also great service! My family and I have not yet had a bad meal or experience here. The plates here are big enough that we have shared 1 dish between myself, my daughter (18months) and my husband. Staff is very kid friendly and they do have highchairs as well.
