Great little restaurant in a little fishing village. Friendly service and a hearty breakfast. Our waitress was Tori, she's a bright smiling face as soon as you walk in. She's extremely friendly with everyone from the minute you walk in.I uploaded their most recent menu below. Looks like the last time anyone loaded it was years ago. I'm sure the food is the same, but prices have most likely changed.

Stopped in with a few friends. A hidden gem! It is so charming, warm and inviting. Counter seating at a legit old time luncheonette. You walk in, take a seat and the wonderful staff gets to work!The food is delicious and the portions are massive. I had the clam boat, only $11. The cole slaw was creamy and seasoned perfectly. Definitely homemade. It was so yummy😋! The service was fast. I forgot to snap pics of the menu.Great prices! Family owned and operated. If you happen to be in Fortescue make sure you stop in, you won't be disappointed!

We have been a customer for many years. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of retro diner, maritime nostalgia and home town coziness.The owners treat you like family and it’s the same with each person that walks in for a meal.We love it! And when life seems a little hectic, we take a drive to Fortescue to visit this old friend, just to step back a little and be in the moment.Try the Oysters 😊

A breakfast/lunch place and small convenience store and gift shop. I had breakfast there this morning and the prices were dirt cheap. Service was quick. However, the atmosphere was not good because there was NO air conditioner and was told that its been that way for 60 years. The breakfast was average- you get bigger portions and better quality at most diners. No chocolate chip pancakes.I mostly will not be back because of the air conditioner situation.

Great home cooked food for a good price. I've never experienced an old school luncheonette with lunch counters, so it was an experience for me! Very interesting place to stop in and get a taste of the past!

This is a Great place for breakfast or lunch. They are closed in the winter and close at 3pm during fishing season. It is a family owned and operated restaurant, with an attached bait shop. Early morning is a great time to get updates on what's biting in the bay!

Was looking for some nice blood worms to go perch fishing with 1 dozen jumbos for 20 bucks and they were huge and fresh,got an early start arrived around 7 and even though the wind didn't cooperate I still managed to box some nice size perch and had a great day out on the water.

As far as small town feel, by the bay luncheonettes go, zero complaints. Chill atmosphere and friendly staff are a plus.
