Testimonials

“Family, blue-collar restaurant where the food is good and have daily specials with great service. Today had steak and eggs. Cooked perfectly the way I like it. The place was packed out because it Sunday brunch time, but the service was very good, friendly and efficient. Recommend breakfast or lunch here for moderately priced food and friendly staff.”

“This little restaurant has been part of the Salem community as far back as I can remember and I’m 60 yrs young. It’s a great place to eat for families and a diverse crowd with no bad vibes. The food is absolutely worth every cent and, a tip! I use a walker and they’re friendly and accommodating with my disabilities. You just never know who might stroll in, in a friendly way. Service is 5 star also. I’m honored to post on their behalf.”
