We love coming here. The food is always good and the staff aid quick and super friendly. The decor is fantastic and saluting every member of our military branch. I get their spam breakfast and it's always yummy but this time I wanted to try their waffle. It was yummy and my husband got their special of the day a green chili egg something. I forgot because I didn't it but he loved it! Check this place out if you're in the area you will not be disappointed.

If you're a veteran, this is your place. SOS served on a metal tray. Small, unassuming from outside but definitely a man cave paradise in. Food was tasty. The owner lady was a gem

Stepping into this retro diner feels like time travel straight back to the 1950s! The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by that nostalgic, old-fashioned charm--red leather booths, checkered floors, and a jukebox humming in the background. It's the kind of place where the smell of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee instantly makes you feel at home. The menu is pure, classic American breakfast goodness--fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and eggs just the way you like them. It's not just a meal, it's a throwback to simpler times, where every bite is comfort and every moment is a slice of an American dream !

Paul's has been on my list for quite sometime. I saw the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode with Guy Fieri back several years ago. Right when we walked in the door we got a warm welcome and we're seated promptly. The decor was "small cafe with a heavy dose of military". Very cool. A server mentioned many of the items on display were donated by customers. For breakfast I had to try the country fried steak, it's a must for most new places we try. It was gigantic. It was pretty good. It was paired with potatoes and a biscuit with gravy. (This meal fed me 2 more times with leftovers). My husband had a chorizo omelette with fresh tomatoes as his side. He loved it. Especially the fresh tomatoes. We took our parents back the following morning to treat them and they loved it as well. We look forward to trying more items on the menu.

I've been coming here for years whenever I need my S.O.S. fix. Stephanie and the staff are always great! The military pics on the wall are great! The place is always clean. I've never seen a crumb on the floor. ...and the portions are still great portions! Unlike some of the other restaurants, Paul's hasn't resolved to smaller portions while raising the prices.
