HoursDaily 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.; closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (restaurant's own site)
Good to knowBreakfast, lunch and dinner (opens 8 a.m.); not dinner-only. A Kids Menu appears on the restaurant's own menu as transcribed from its website — Kids chicken tender basket, Kids cheeseburger and hamburger, Kids hot dog and Kids grilled cheese, plus a Kids Breakfast (pancakes, scrambled eggs) — re-check on the official menu at merge (see report). Flag for sensory-sensitive children: the act is deliberately loud, with servers performing dance numbers on the counters.
Dietary notesNo vegetarian or allergy statement was verified on the restaurant's own pages in text fetched, so no diet tags are claimed. The diner menu includes pork items (bacon, ham, sausage), so pork-free diners must ask the restaurant directly; pork-free guarantee NOT confirmed.
