We were so thrilled to find this place! We are in this area two to four times a month and one of the restaurants we go to now closes at 3pm, so my husband found this spot which is a Lakewood landmark. Their website is one of the best I've seen for a restaurant with history, basic info, full menu, and GREAT photos. We loved the whole vibe! The outside of the building was fun and there is a ton of parking (it shares it with a couple other businesses). The bonus room in the back holds about 50+ for events, and there is a separate bar area with lounge seating and pull tabs. In the main section you can choose booths or counter service. The workers were not only friendly to us, and very attentive, but we could hear them just enjoying working with each other behind the counter ❤️ My husband and son don't really appreciate "complex foods" so their menu with more traditional choices, that were made very well, was perfect! It had lots of yummy items that made us plan what we were getting that day, but also the next few times we come back. I don't normally drink, but if I do, I like a Bloody Mary. I just got the one, but I saw that you could get a whole carafe of mimosas or Bloody Mary's 😮 It tasted good (strong!) with lots of salt on the rim and, again, just simple green olives. My husband was excited that their coffee is from Delanons, and the milkshake the kid got was perfect- not too thick or too thin. I loved my Monte Crisco, though I wish it had a little powdered sugar on the top and instead of mini plastic containers, a small bowl of jam to dip in would be better. I had options for a couple sides, and I picked potato salad, which I weirdly always crave, and it hit the spot! The grandbaby choose grilled cheese with perfectly crisp fries, while his uncle and grandpa opted for breakfast for dinner. Their hash browns were so good, that I was sneaking a couple bites! Can't wait to come back again. I'm looking forward to the French Dip, biscuits and gravy, BLT, fish n chips ... basically the full menu 😆
