This isn’t just a spot to fill your plate—it’s a welcoming neighborhood nook where the hum of easy conversation mingles with the faint clatter of pins nearby. The pace is unhurried, the kind of place where mornings stretch lazily and bustling weekends feel familiar without rush or fuss.
The atmosphere here balances casual charm with a genuine warmth, reflected in the attentiveness of the staff and the steady flow of friendly faces. It’s the kind of grill where the connection between kitchen and table feels human—where breakfasts offer more than just food but a small ritual, whether you’re savoring the comfort of crispy bacon or the subtle sweetness of cinnamon-dusted French toast.

We enjoy coming here for breakfast. The staff are so nice. There's always a table open. They have a really good senior menu that includes the drink. I had the All Meat Omelet with hash browns and a biscuit with gravy on the side. Breakfast for 2 was $25 + tip.

We walked in at 9am with a huge party for breakfast and our server was so kind, welcoming, and attentive! Great job to the whole team. The food was delicious too. It's really such a gem of a place to stop and eat. It's not a "bowling alley restaurant", it's a nice place to stop for a meal that happens to be connected to a bowling alley.

I love the food. They have a very wide variety and you can also order snack type food from the snack bar, from the restaurant. The service is very fast and friendly. The restaurant is always clean but could use a makeover. Hey, there's also a bowling alley!

Super great waitress. Really good food for a good price. I never have an issue on price as long as the food is good and the amount is portion friendly to the price with good service and clean environment. This place hits on all. I will be going here with my wife for a weekly morning out. Also if we get a chance we’ll give their lunch and dinner a try
