If you're looking for the small town homey feel with kind people and mama's cookin - it is no wonder why the parking lot is constantly packed.
They were slammed yet the food came out quickly and everything was fantastic. The girls worked amazing together and are great at there jobs! i didn't take photos of the interior because you should go experience it for yourself and order the sampler platter. :)

If you want the experience of a classic diner setting this is your place. It was really busy when we were there and we got a seat right away.
Our service was quick and the waitress was smiling and personable. We placed our order and it was on our table in literally 10 minutes.
Food was very good and the prices were on point for the amount of food we got.
Gotta check this place out if you haven’t yet!

If you’re looking for a diner with 50s style and wall art, this is the place. I would make this my hometown diner is a second. The food is delicious and freshly made. They a dual sided counter as well as tables and booths. When we went, it was full of local people that knew each other and were open and friendly. We ordered omelette with a meat side from the low carb menu, but every dish on the other tables looked equally delicious.

Very fast as getting your order, and it was pretty busy. Servers were both super nice. They give you raffle tickets to fill out . If you win, you get a free meal for a week. If we were locals, we would have done it. We had 3 meat club and a Philly cheese sandwich. Cole slaw was really good. Sandwiches were awesome!

I visited an Auburn restaurant for the 1st time since moving to Indiana in '95. It was listed in the Top 5 Breakfast Places in Auburn. Good thing I had GPS bcuz it was a bit off the beaten path. It reminded me of a 60's & 70's diner,very friendly, and had a Home Town Atmosphere. Give it a try,tell them CheeezHead sent you.
