The food and service was outstanding! Was not expecting much after reading reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Prime rib was melt in your mouth, gravy and tomato basil sauce was obviously homemade. Reminds me that anyone can post reviews on these sites - even those with a personal axe to grind. Again, the food was excellent as was the service.

I went to this restaurant with a few friends who recommended it. After reading the reviews of this place was I reluctant to give it a try. I had very low expectations to be honest. When I arrived I noticed the home-style decor and friendly atmosphere.
The food we ordered came 15 minutes after we ordered it which was perfectly acceptable. One of my friends had the salad bar, which I thought was very small with only a few dressings, small salad topings and lettuce. My hamburger steak was on a piece of bread and covered with gravy. It was very tasty and the portion size was not "ample" but nevertheless reasonable for $8. The home fries were the frozen type which where just deep fried. I expected them to be pan fried and made with fresh potatoes as that is what I am used to.
Desserts available were a few kinds of pie and cheesecake. Each slice was about $5 and they were good sized portions.
An interesting note; the owner's name was Corson and the business card mentioned Mom's is a preferred dining spot for Darcy Tucker and Shayne Corson.
I never got to the point of ordering. I was so appalled by not only the way I was spoken to, but also by the lack of service up until that point. After waiting for about 10 min. to even be greeted, they felt that because it was the lunch rush, they had every right to be rude.
We went to this place on all that hype about Shane Corson and such. What can I say ? I will not go back.
The portions, with the exceptions of salads, are on a small side. The food was non-eventful - pretty much the same you will find in any greasy spoon, not really in line with all the hype about the place.
Peas in the soup were firm, and the soup itself was very salty. The gravy was the kind you would make from concentrate, again, generously salted.
Altogether - an ok place if you are desperate. If you have a choice, take your business elsewhere.
