I saw a post in the Waterloo Foodies group about crab rangoon nachos and dill pickle soup. ummm count me in!?! i could not stop thinking about it. the images and thought literally made my mouth water. told my husband on our next date night I want to go there for those items. he thought maybe they would only be seasonal so he called to place a take out order. food was ready in less than 15 minutes. super friendly guy when it came to pick up. he said they are working on getting these items added to the website and door dash menus. even packaged the nacho toppings separately so they wouldn't get soggy (super appreciative) it was phenomenal - and I don't use that word often. I already can't wait for date night so we can order again đđ˝đ 11/10 no disappointments.
went for a birthday brunch & will not be returning. as someone also working in food service, i know there are standards and this waitress is oblivious to them. lady with colored hair & bangs if im remembering correctly. asked what i wanted in my b.b and yelled at me for not saying it in the order she wanted. disabilities are valid but she definitely shouldnât be a waitress. the attitude reflects the business.

Great experience! Went for brunch with my mom and we had a great time! The drinks were great! The food was amazing! We each got the breakfast bowl but have had other items and have never been disappointed. The service was amazing! They have a great staff here. You will not be disappointed stopping in here!

Back in July my family and I had a group of 17 the diner was so packed inside and out. The first server to acknowledge us nice greeted us with a warm welcoming smile perfect for an old style diner she was very attentive made sure we were okay with the wait and was sure to make sure we were seated around the 15 minute wait she ended up being our server we sat inside while she was still very busy taking tables outside however she did perfect! We asked for food recommendations and she lit up while speaking her favorite items which made us comfortable trusting her. We noticed she had a lot going on but she never ignored us we were out of there within an hour her service was amazing! Went back this past weekend she was nowhere around this time we were informed she doesnât work there anymore it was only 4 of us and our server was horrible!!!!! She forgot about us messed up our order then the bloody Maryâs are disgusting idk what they are going wrong now but no good! I wish I knew where the old server was would definitely follow her to next location! Great servers are hard to find someone that makes you feel like home they should have kept her!

Ham omelets, hash browns, were ok. Biscuit and sausage gravy were excellent. Bliody mary was not so good. Whatever mix they are using is terrible. Waitress seemed not a people person and may have been new.

We prefer the outdoor seating. Inside is usually freezing cold. We tried to sit at the counter thatâs facing the window, but it was covered in dust and bugs. They donât have enough staff so our super simple order for just my 4 year old and I took over a half hour. She was kind, but slow. Hardly checked on us. It wasnât super busy.
Parking: There is maybe 10 spots that are free but staff parks there too so more like 6 that are regularly available.. more paid street parking.
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with crayons.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is one entrance that has a button for automatic door and itâs the one thatâs difficult to access for those that need it. Itâs on the side where the patio is that you have to navigate through the tables to get to it.

We stopped in for a Bloody Mary and ordered Sweet potato chips too. The bloody had good garnishment but lacked flavor.

Went on a Thursday night and had the patio completely to ourselves on a beautiful evening! Service was quick and attentive. We ordered the make your own mac & cheese, adult grilled cheese and BLT, with parmesan fries. The food was hot, delicious and HUGE portions! Only slight complaint was that the mac & cheese used velveeta (we assume due to taste) and is not our preference. Everything was very good otherwise! Great vibe and decently priced $56 for three of us (with NA drinks) with plenty of leftovers.
Parking: We found street parking (free after 5) but then realized there is a private reserved lot for restaurant patrons. Next time!

My friend and I went to Newtonâs this morning for brunch and had the best experience! We were promptly waited on when we sat down and our food came in a timely fashion. I ordered the breakfast bowl which was amazing and my friend ordered the chicken fried steak which was HUGE (and also tasted wonderful). The general manager was kind enough to come to our table when we were finished to chat with us about our experience and the place just had a nice vibe - all of the staff and patrons seemed happy. I also felt the menu was reasonably priced and had a lot of things Iâm going to have to come back in and try. Would definitely recommend going if youâre looking for a brunch spot.

New menu is overpriced. I ordered two BLT sandwiches and they were both 12.99. They did not come with any sides. Definitely wouldnât recommend. It is definitely a dive. Morgs is a lot better and has amazing service.
