Overpriced. Diners like this are special if they are affordable. You can easily go to a more trendy spot and get better food and a better atmosphere. Such a let down.

Great little breakfast dive bar. A place you wouldn't expect has great food and service. Don't overlook this one from how it is on the outside. Service was awesome and food was amazing. Looks like they did some work on the inside as well. Love it

It is a typical OLD style restaurant. Emphasizing the OLD. The decor is not only outdated but many booths have stains etc. The service was generally OK. I watched the person who i believe is the owner serve others with the enthusiasm of a knat. He clearly has no personality and should really stay in the back of the house. Somebody needs to teach him the isnthe hospitality industry to which he clearly has none.
Prices are definitely premium for average at best, although ok breakfast. Over $30 for an omlette and hash browns is crazy. Itoo agree with many other comments that the hash browns should be included the higher prices being charged. What is however outrageous is not the gouging for the hash browns. He adds $3 dollars for $1 of hash browns. This is bad enough but what is implied as a upcharge to poutine hashbrowns for what the menu says $6 is in fact and additional $6 with a glob of what tasted like instant hollandaise sauce added to the already $3 upcharge for a total of $9 addon upcharge. I dont get how these places stay open. I get why thier reviews are what they are. I would suggest anyone who wants to pay less for more go across the street to Ricky's Grill. At least they are up front and don't addon for what everyone else includes. Nuts in my opinion.

I ordered skip the dishes. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet. I had more ham, hardly no cheese in there and my hash Browns were supposed to be pan-fried and I got cubed, and they were so hard I couldn't even eat them.i have a picture to
it is always such a cute place to eat. feels very small town loving diner/twilight vibes if you know what i mean. food always comes out hot and within minutes! ALL DAY BREAKFAST! And Mr. Alice is just such a lovey man. the bathroom does have a slight rustic murder house vibe but always stocked with the necessities! we will be visiting again ❤️

Real old school diner vibes, great atmosphere. Only thing that would make it better is if smoking was allowed indoors

Reliably filling servings, good cooks and affordable prices more than make up for the dated interior decoration.
