It was a chilly day and I was looking for some soup. Found some excellent, hot soup (clam chowder) and sandwiches. Everyone was very welcoming and gave great service. Menu is extensive and a good value!

An absolute gem. Excellent unpretentious food, outstanding service. Complimented the owner and he told me he'd been in business for 31 years, so I guess they're doing it right. If I lived closer I'd eat there all the time.
