[quote="Guest"]This just shows different people have different opinions. A business no mater how good it is cannot please all customers. But if the majority of the visitors there like the food and services, then it will be a successful business. The true test is time.[/quote]

My wife and I go to the Ameriana and the cost is always around $28.00 excl. tip (pancakes, sausage, HC, an omlette, 2 OJ's). Teddy's is a bit less.

If you eat at McDonalds it is more expensive by a few dollars a meal. <br /> <br />We're not talking major differences.
