Reviews
"We first arrived, and we noticed seating outside with a large canopy and some with umbreallas. We went inside and asked to be seated, and we were told to sit anywhere. There was no seating available inside. There were a couple tables under the canopy outside but no chairs at those tables. We chose to sit outside at a table under an umbrella. We noticed the sun was beaming down on us pretty badly, so we adjusted the umbrella ourselves to help with the sun. Someone came by with menus and asked what we'd like to drink. We both ordered coffees and iced waters. I loved that they had flavored creamer in a dish when a lot of places don't. The server came by with our coffees and waters and took our order. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict with has browns, and my husband ordered a country fried steak with hashbrowns and sourdough toasts. We noticed the couple seated next to us left. As we waited for our food to arrive, the dishes sat there at the table next to us with nobody in sight attempting to pick it up. The server brought our food to us and refilled our coffees as well. We saw they brought my husband's sourdough toasts with 2 little strawberry jelly packets, but he never was asked what kind of jelly he wanted, and there was no jelly at the table like most restaurants have. For my husband, it didn't matter cause he didn't even use jelly on his toast if there was butter on the toast already. We both enjoyed the coffee. It was fresh and strong just like we like our coffee. My eggs benedict was okay. The hollandaise sauce was very bland, I even had to add my own salt to it. The ham steak that came with it made up for the tasteless hollandaise. The ham steak was very delicious and a thick cut. I also liked the hashbrowns as well. My husband liked his country fried steak and hasbrowns but says it was nothing to write home about. I'm not sure if we would come back, but if we do, I would try something else and not get the Benedict again. Overall, it was "decent" diner food and a good price."
"Came here once, now a regular. Who needs Denny’s & IHOP when you got Shirley’s. Food is amazing, service is excellent! You can’t beat the prices. Only thing I would recommend for the business is adding blueberry pancakes or some banana foster french toast on to the already fantastic menu (;"
"A nice small place with amazing food, and the service is great."
"I love old school diners and randomly found this spot on Google maps. Parking in the lot is limited, so we found a spot on the street. Our friendly server took our order of Seafood Omelet, with hash browns and sourdough toast, Country Scramble with a side of pancakes and 8 pc. Batter fried fish, with fries, coleslaw and a bowl of delicious clam chowder. 2 cups of coffee. My Seafood Omelet was ok, but my hashbrowns were way too crunchy. Good toast bread. My friend enjoyed her fish entree and had plenty of everything left, to take home for lunch. Her favorite was the delicious clam chowder. My daughter really like the pancakes (not pictured) and she said her Scramble was good. I would come back again, but probably try something different on the menu. All n All we enjoyed our breakfast and the portions are huge. Total bill w/o tip, $69"
