“This is a must go to anyone coming through Mount Vernon. The friendly staff, atmosphere, and classic food with good sized portions are here to welcome you as soon as you open the door.

Beef & Noodles*

$10.79

Beef and noodles come with a required mashed-potato choice.

“Food always has the feeling it’s how grandma makes it with plenty on the plate. I’m a big fan of their beef and noodles over mashed potatoes, but they have a large menu to choose from, and it’s all good especially if you like “breakfast food.” I’ve never had bad service here and their milkshakes are fantastic.”
