I read about this place and passed by it not too long ago. I had been hoping for a good local diner to try. This was one of 2 that popped up. I just moved here 2 weeks ago.

It seemed to be self seating and I double checked with the guy at the counter who brusquely said it was. Okay. No big deal becauseit was a little busy. All of us have trying days sometimes. I found a seat in the corner right by the coffee station. I didn't get a menu and didn't get asked about anything for a bit. A very nice girl whom I found out later was named Shiroj ask me what I would like to drink and got me.a menu with some silverware.

Brusque Dude finally asked me what I'd like and he had mellowed slightly. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and an order of onion rings. Took the guy a while to check on me but Shiroj did. She was a sweetheart. The burger was ok. Nothing I'd crave to order again. The food was hot and I appreciated that.

I took a chance and ordered a slice of pecan pie. I had asked Shiroj first because she checked on me and she got Brusque Dude's attention. He said he'd check if they still had some. I said no problem and thanked him for double-checking. He said they still have the pie and that he'd get it out. That was the last I heard from him. Shiroj asked me if I got my pie which I said I did not. She apologized and very nicely told me that there was a shift change and that it looks like it was overlooked. There was another nice woman that came on shift who apologized also and said they were out of pecan pie. I told them just to let it go and I would like my check. I made it a point to give Shiroj the tip in cash in her hand. I told her how much I appreciated her checking on me and initially getting me the menu and silverware.

I was told that my check was waiting at the register up front. The girl at the front was swamped. I was patiently waiting because I know how frustrating it can be to get swamped. I told them that the pecan pie never arrived and to just please double check that it wasn't on my check. After I said that, guess who came wheeling around the corner? You got it. Brusque Dude. I guess he survived shift change. It took me forever to get checked out. I also wanted a printed receipt and I had to wait through a couple of customers to be checked out to get it.

So I won't be visiting again but appreciate Shiroj (I am sorry if I am horribly misspelling her name) and the lady who cleaned up tables for checking on me.
