This used to be one of the best places in town for home cooked food from scratch.
I don’t know why but they now add some kind of mush or filler to their chicken fried steak, burgers, meatloaf etc.
They must be having financial problems because people are now bringing in their own hot sauce so they don’t get it watered down, they offer you one jelly etc.
It’s not a very welcoming feeling when you have to decide what flavor jelly you want when you place your order because you’re only getting one packet.
Haha(but it’s true) If that’s the case, compromising the quality of your food and reputation that took decades to build isn’t the answer.
This is, or was, the last place in town to get a home cooked meal.
I hope they figure it out.

The pot pie special was hardly any food and not hot.
Told we could substitute the pickled beets that came with the meal for slaw (no upcharge mentioned).
Got the check and was charged $3 for the slaw.
Just wrong.
Great for breakfast.
Lunch options not the place to go.

Great diner.
This is a must place to try when in Tucson.
My waitress Amanda was great,very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu,and the place it's self.
I was lucky enough to show up on rice pudding day.
As I was told by Amanda, it only happens occasionally.
The proprietor was present and working like any one else on staff.
I always like to see that at a restaurant.
I wish I could have got back for another meal,as the menu was very abundant with options.
Next year upon my yearly visit, this will be on the agenda for meals.
