The lemon ricotta pancakes are pretty awful. Straight up CHALKY

A standard diner experience - their pancakes are very yummy but the waffles tastes like grease! The breakfast toast (Calabrian chili plus corn cheese) is so delicious. The soft scrambles eggs are cooked with butter so that's always a plus!

Went in on a Saturday for brunch with friends.
They were very busy and did not take reservations. We sat after our full party had arrived. It was my first time here and I felt it was just okay. They didn't have a lot of options on the menu. I ordered the bagel plate and shared it with a friend who ordered the potato cakes. The bagel was good ( hard to mess up a bagel!) but the potatoes were bland.
We also stopped at the bakery attached to the restaurant. I got cookies and brownies for the family. We all had the same opinions of very dry and not good for the pastries.

To even “wait” for a table you have to surrender your cell number and fill out a multi page electronic form. Try doing that with a kid in your arms. The seating system allows people who arrive long after you to claim a table in their tiny dining room with limited tables, even if all of your party isn’t there . Even the food servers say it doesn’t make sense. Bottom line vibe is this place cares way more about itself than you.

Yum. Food fresh and made to order. Bring back sourdough pancakes please!!!! Love this place.
Fantastic old-style diner to go for brunch. The staff is great and the food was great, but if you don't like very spicy BloodyMarys, don't order it. I recommend the California breakfast, the eggs rancheros and the late (the "bartender" is wonderful).

This is a very charming little place nestled in a place that off the beaten path. Had the souffle and it was incredible

Are you looking for a typical American dinner to have your breakfast between workers accustomed to the house and policemen ready to start their work? You are in the right place ! Delicious food and typical decor. Friendly and efficient team!
Very long wait for everything. Even to pay the check.
Service is bad enough to make you forget how good the food is.

I was picking up my online order at 8:30 am on Wednesday 7/24/24. They forgot to include my dresserts orders as they did the last time as well but didn’t make a big deal out of it. But today the lady staff at the register is giving me this look like she was bothered that I ask for the forgotten items that the diner forgot and making me feel bad ?. The food is always great I use to always love coming here as I live just steps away in the neighborhood and never have problem with customer service but today was the worst.

Wonderful food, poor service. The waitress was quick to drop the check moments after we got our food. Didn't follow up on drinks, and had a poor attitude about our dog. As we are finishing up she made a snide comment about our dog who barked at her every time she approached the table. I guess she gave him bad vibes. So take it for what it's worth.

We were looking for a place to have lunch in Berkeley on 4th street and tried this place. Got a table quickly which was nice but the place is small and we were kind of crammed into a corner. Service was okay, but the food was mediocre at best. Waffle was super thin with one strawberry on top. Vegetable soup was tasty but nothing to write home about. Would not go back.
