Waited 10 mins for a menu. Actually had to get up and ask for one even though diner wasnt busy. Perhaps they were training new staff. Food was decent diner food and staff, once they realized I was there were very nice.

This is such a cute diner! We went for the first time over the weekend for breakfast. The service is so friendly and super quick. My eggs were cooked to perfection and the bacon was crisped just right! My kids loved the hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream. Pancakes were just ok. Would love pure maple syrup to be offered, as well as a darker roast coffee with some punch to it. But overall, such a tasty and sweet place. We will absolutely go back.

Stopped here in a short road trip from the city with a few friends. The food was okay and typical of American diners. I was happy to hear that it’s a Greek American business! The environment and service was very hospitable.
