Recent Reviews
I have lived in Lakeland for over a year and tried a bunch of breakfast spots. this has been my favorite to visit. The staff is very courteous, food is delicious, and they have unique flavored butters. I frequent the diner often and have tried most of the menu. Definitely recommend and will continue going regularly.

The service is great theyre always very nice and fast. Biscuits are really good, but you'd think a breakfast place could cook eggs right. I've ordered eggs 3 times and each time I ask them to cook them a little bit more and they always come out over easy with whites not cooked all the way. So this time I asked for scrambled...still runny! I've sent it back before, still uncooked. Cooking eggs really isn't that hard. Don't order them here unless you like...

Screaming children make a usually good place, somewhere you want to leave as soon as possible, David should intervene when it is a real problem
