their soups are sooo good. we go regularly now, and my favorite thing about theplaceare the soups. i've not had one i didn't love.
the mushroom and barley is my favorite. the chicken lemon rice soup is soooooo yummy with a hint of lemon. its the kind of chicken soup you'd want on a cold day when you are sick.
the beef stew was good. i love that you can tell it's homemade not out of a can... the veggies were hand-cut and tasted fresh.
the corn chowder is sooo yummy. thick and creamy and what seemed like hints of bacon in it. i'd get it again!
i read thru some of the other reviews and one i noticed was someone complaining about the service. when we've been there the staff has been super friendly for the most part. there is a waitress or two that can come across as gruff but if you are nice and apprecetiative, they will be too.
i love that the old-timers come here and hang out and eat. to me, it's a mark of a good restaurant... aplacepeople return to over and over and feel like family and come back again and again. it's great for family. huge variety and selection of food.
and, they serve diet mt dew!!!
they have the giant tenderloin... my husband hasn't yet tried it but it's on his wish list it looks yummy when we see people order it... but he always finds something else on the menu he wants to try.
my favorite menu item so far was the greek pastichio (not sure how to spell it) but it's the greek lasagna that they have occasionally on special. sooo good. i also loved the beef stroganoff on special. my favorite regular menu item so far has been the beef manhattan.
does theplaceneed a deep cleaning. yes. would they wipe a table again, get you a new salt shaker or replace your silverware if you got some that were dirty. yes. just be nice and ask.
we will be going back!

yum!. stopped in here last week and happened to be the day they were serving greek lasagna (i can't even begin spelling it) and i love it so i got an order of that with the mushroom barley soup. both were excellent!!! my husband got the greek plate. service was nice, people were nice and the food was in big portions and what we had was great! i can't wait to go back for breakfast.
