Started going here with Loui from the plumbing shop so many years ago. They have the best over easy eggs. I was 19 years old back then. Now I'm 60. I remember the friendly lady at the counter. She may have been Maria. I'm glad to see this iconic eatery still in business.

This restaurant was wonderful! It was suggested by a friend. The world was safe. As she had trouble choosing, our waiter was really helpful in suggesting what my daughter would enjoy. The service was fine, and our food soon arrived. For us, two thumbs up! We are certainly going to come back!
