Definitely one of the best local eateries we've ever been to. All I can say is we consistently go back❣️
From the outside you might not think much of it, but let me tell you it is worth the stop. Every seat was packed from the minute we walked in until we left. Service was fast and friendly. Portions were amazing and would fill up the hungriest eater! The BEC croissant came in clutch with 3 pieces of cheese as a standard! The chipotle skillet from top to bottom was chalk full of flavor and the tomatoes were divine! Next time we travel we WILL stop again.
Great family restaurant. Great staff always friendly foods always consistently good. Always the same friendly faces greeting you. Definitely one of the best if not best places in town.

Good portion size. Quick and outstanding service. Food was very tasty. Overall a great experience. I love every time I go here
I can never say enough good about Uncle John’s. Their staff is so friendly and attentive. The food is great and not over priced like everywhere else these days. French onion soup is one of my favorites and I grab it whenever I’m in the mood for it. Everything is always cooked great. They just never disappoint. Tonight I tried the fish fry for the first time. For $15.99 we got 4 decent sized pieces of Cod , veggies, coleslaw, choice of soup which comes with a roll and crackers, and choice of potato. I got baked and it was cooked perfectly!!
On a rainy Sunday morning, we parked under the old car hop roof and headed in. Wait staff were all very attentive. Prices were reasonable. Menu huge. Food good.
