In 2004, Originally established as “Dina’s Place” in the Waverly Auto Mall, Dina created a brunch/lunch menu that captured food lovers with her homemade burgers, wraps, soups, salads and sandwiches, such as her mouth watering Reuben!!

Here, the promise of delightful dishes and unforgettable nights comes to life, creating a sanctuary for those who cherish vibrant gatherings and soul-satisfying meals.

Our menu is a celebration of freshness and tradition, crafted from recipes that have warmed hearts and filled bellies for generations.

Our lunch menu, specifically designed by Dina, offers a delightful midday retreat with dishes that combine local ingredients with family traditions, ensuring every bite is a tribute to culinary excellence.

Beyond the plates, our venue springs to life with the energy of local talents, offering a stage for everything from strumming guitarists to stand-up comedians. It’s a cultural hub, pulsating with the rhythms of creativity and community spirit, encouraging everyone from seasoned performers to first-time mic handlers to share their art.
