No parking, slow service. Not a good idea to bring kids. Duchess will be a much better option.

A real trip back to the 1950s and it's great from the music to the decor... I feel like Marty Mcfly will be stopping by. The food is really good,big portions and delicious. The staff here was attentive and felt like home. This is a must stop by if you are in the area, you'll be very happy.

This dine in eatery is a good attempt at a 50's diner, but missing the music boxes. Some interesting antiques that are not for sale. Good place to go for breakfast and they have parking on the side and front.Price is affordable, everything is made as ordered .My last order was as a to-go, I got the Eggs Benedict and it was delicious, the Canadian bacon was cut thin and not chewy like most places, the potatoes were as ordered - well done and crispy, I ordered a side of corn beef hash well done, and it came exactly as ordered, crispy and well done.The menu is varied but has a mexican flare to the dinner items.The location is not good but if you can get past the front door your in!Parking: Parking on side if front is full.

Seems like a small family run business, nice 50s atmosphere, and large menu. The burger as a whole was decent. But the burger patty was tasteless and possibly cooked 50s style (boiled/steamed?). Pickles were too sweet tasted like sandwich pickles, not dill/sour spears as expected with a burger. Fries tasted like frozen out of a bag, maybe seasoning would help?Unfortunately, the service is what really needs work here.Came in about 1pm for lunch. the restaurant was completely empty and there were 2 dirty tables that had not been cleared yet. During the lunch, they proceeded to vacuum near us while we were eating. When we asked them to shut the vacuum so that we could have lunch in quiet so that we could hear each other talk, they started sweeping the rug near us kicking up dust and dirt into the air while we were eating.I used to work in restaurants and the staff here could really use some training. Cleaning should be done when customers are not eating. Before the rest. opens or after it's closed. All in all, I will probably return because the place is in the neighborhood and the food wasn't bad.

I walked in & the first thing i see were dirty tables with left plates of food from previous customers while the whole crew was sitting at a table hanging out, 1st red flag. We order and get our food and there were 3 flies flying around trying to get at our food, 2nd red flag. We start to eat our horrible tasting bland burger and bland fries. One of the workers starts vacuuming next to us, we politely ask her to stop as its unprofessional to vacuum while people are eating at a restaurant not to mention we were having a conversation and couldn’t hear each other . She then proceeds to tell her crew and they all start laughing mocking us. The girl proceeds to start cleaning again this time sweeping the rug right by our table. Totally unsanitary and unprofessional ! Will never return again.

I usually go here occasionally for lunch, the food is a hit or miss depending on who's working. The service is usually quick and friendly, I always tip because of the great service. I love visiting here because there are parks nearby and it's in a relatively safe neighborhood. The inside of the restaurant gives off a 50-60s vibe and I just like it. It's GOOD. That all said and done, there are some complaints I have, one day the food would be extremely greasy or uncooked and we would have to take it back. I would recommend but beware it is a heavy hit or miss.

Staff is very pleasant but the food was not worth eating, never got some of the food we ordered. Decor could be cute but looks kind of dingy, seats are all ripped etc.

Convenient location, easy parking, fun 50s decor, great friendly staff! It doesn't look like much from the outside but I was so glad we went in. Thanks for everything!!

A combination Mexican restaurant and 50's themed diner what could be more charming and whimsical?
