3.0 of 5 stars. The sign says "since 1936." I think it refers to the last time the place was cleaned.I've had great breakfasts, even a great dinner once, but, how to put this, I usually wind up in some distress. It's...

Ripoff Warning!

After enjoying our dinner I hand my bankcard (VISA) over to the server. She looks at it and says, "Sorry, we don't accept it, but we do have an ATM." She then says, "I've had complaints about this before and asked the owner about it. Between you and me...the owner owns the machine!". Then, already upset I go up to the ATM machine where I pay $2.00 to get cash (and my bank charges ANOTHER $2.00), to pay a lousy $24.00 check. I go to to pay at the register and tell the gentleman that it's unfair they don't accept credit cards. He then gave me a little attitude about it and then said, "Yeah, I've been yelling at the owner about it for years!". I then proceeded to tell him to tell the owner that they just lost a regular customer. He said, "Will Do!" Little did the guy know that I knew(and I'm pretty darn sure), that he was either the owner or one of the owners.) The whole point is...don't rip customers off! In this day and age who doesn't accept credit cards? Talk about a trap to get you to use their ATM. Appreciate your customers and treat them well or they won't come back ever again. Case in point - We went there 3-4 times (with cash and never knew about the issue). This was our last time. Food was decent, nothing special, but this took it over the edge for me.
