First time, my daughter had egg shell in her eggs. The waitress said it's because it's busy and the eggs are in a bucket and ladled out. Pretty gross.
Second time, I had a long grey hair wrapped around my potatoes in the corned beef hash. "Manager" said it happends and took $3 off our $67 bill.
Third time, After waiting 45 min to order, overheard the staff talking about drugs and who had sex the night before, with my 4yr old daughter sitting there so we left.
After hearing it was under new management we returned, same wait staff. A lovely little girl brought us coffee &the meal was perfect. The prices are decent, but not the cleanest. Killed 4 ants before eating, but would return because they seemed to correct the past issues.
