I stopped for a quick bathroom break while working In the city and decided to stay for lunch.

Family Diner setting, very clean. Great staff, very welcoming. The burger was amazing! You can tell that they cook and serve with love.

Will return.

This is the type of place that I break my diet for, once a year. I was ravenous after a long work day and this restaurant was right by my dermatologist’s office. I had an hour to kill before my afternoon appointment and stopped in for lunch. The menu is standard diner fare- burgers, fries, breakfast options, and a couple of salads. I ordered one of the “John’s specials” offerings, a super stuffed chicken burrito with green sauce, and half and half fries and onion rings....

Just happened upon this place and saw the sign saying they had the best breakfast burrito in town. So we went in, and there were so many people sitting down and eating, and another crowd lined up behind us. I figured it had to be a good place at 11:30 in the morning.
I was not disappointed, and I think they have the right to have that banner hung up!
