My wife and I decided to try Mom's Diner for a mid-morning breakfast. We walked in and no one was at the cashier/counter and there was no sign saying "Wait for Hostess to Seat You" or "Seat Yourself", so we just sat ourselves, since the place was not busy at all. One waitress walked by us 3 times and then the owner walked by twice and yet no one greeted us or waited on us. Then the waitress and the owner gabbed about a big party coming in, but still no one acknowledged us or gave us menus or water, etc. After awhile, I told my wife we are leaving, so we got up to leave and I told the owner we were leaving because no one waited on us. Well, then she got all apologetic and said "let me buy your coffee". forget that, we walked out and will never go back. Poor customer service!

This is the place for a fast, friendly, filling breakfast. The waitresses are all awesome. Just a great restaurant. Bring cash, they do not take cards.

The main food they make here is fine grained hamburger on a bun. The food is very good and the staff which has changed since the last time are still a group of friendly, excellent servers. The breakfast is still good. The sandwiches are always consistently good. They serve the " loose meat" sandwiches wrapped to go, but you eat there and you get a spoon with your sandwich to get ALL of the meat. A nice friendly place downtown.

This restaurant is connected to Days Inn. I was guest, and hotel gives guests discount coupons to restaurant. Ate there twice, food was good both times. Must say, had friendlier service sitting at bar compared with when I sat at table. Has a handful of TVs. One note, seems usually is just open for dinner.
