I was wondering how this place could possibly be empty on a Sunday at 11 AM. Guys... you need to fix the food... Go back to the basics of a diner and this place will be packed... The Hashbrowns are awful... Clean place.

Skip this place. I have past by many times and finally thought I would check it out. Service was very poor and food was blaah. Sweet potato hashbrowns sounded great but somehow had all the flavor removed. Entire staff was on their cellphones at the same time. Very inattentive service. This is a rather large place that has clearly seen better days. Floor was dirty and furniture well worn. Lighting is very dim so from the outside it looks closed even when it is open. Stay away. These guys are taking up a valuable corner in a popular area. This could be a goldmine for someone who cares.

I should've known this place wasn't going to be a good experience when me + 4 friends walked in on a Saturday morning and got seated right away. Our service started pretty good but got worse and worse as time went on. We got our order in right away, but our food took sooooo long to come out. After it did come out - we were never checked on by our server once and had to flag him down when we were ready for the check. We ordered a grilled chicken panini, a burger, and killer hashbrowns. It was all pretty average, but the killer hashbrowns were the best, so if you do end up going here I would consider getting those. We also got orange, juice which we were told was housemade, but when it came out, it was clear that it wasn't and that our server lied to us. This wouldn't have been a big deal if it was less expensive and our server hadn't told us they fresh squeezed it. Unfortunately, I can't say I would recommend this place at all.

Holy cow! Server who was working at 2pm on Tue Mar. 19 should be fired immediately. Gave me attitude when I walked in the door and asked if they were open. Almost left immediately but I was really hungry for breakfast food so I decided to stay. One other man came in while I was eating and when that guy was getting ready to go, the same server gave that guy a huge attitude too that escalated into him screaming and cursing F words at the customer...I've never seen anything like it...totally unacceptable! I've been in the service business for over 20 years and have seen a lot of servers with attitude, but never anyone like this...he has no business being in this business. He yelled at the guy, "do something about it" among other things, so what I did was not leave him any tip on my meal because he needs to learn a lesson. Owners, again you should fire that guy immediately!!! That kind of behavior is not tolerable for ANY REASON!

If you want to wait 45 minutes for overcooked eggs that taste like plastic, then this is the spot. Order the egg nachos too, they taste like rubber tires and are fantastic if you want to eat soggy chips with eggs thrown on top. Servers were ok.

I live across the street and have always wanted to try this place but was hesitant due to the reviews. I thought just getting takeout would be fine to simply try the food but even that was an experience.I ordered through GrubHub on a Friday morning and walked to pick it up 25 minutes later (when my order was supposed to be finished) only to find that my order wasn’t even started. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all with just three other tables of people. Wasn’t happy I had to wait longer but at least my food will be fresh. A kind older gentleman (I assume the owner?) offered me coffee while I waited and I was thankful for the gesture. I ordered the low carb egg burrito with regular hashbrowns.A bearded gentleman who I assume is a server walk up and asked if I wanted cheese. I was just a little confused and said I thought it already came with cheese (the menu clearly says it does). He then said “It comes with cheese but you never said what KIND of cheese.” with a very condescending tone. The menu does not indicate cheese options so how would I or anyone else have known? I wanted to ask what options they had but he already seemed irritated at my existence so I just said cheddar to make him go away. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant and couldn’t wait to get out of there.I got my order and went back home. The burrito was like they made a folded omelette with cheddar and wrapped it in a tortilla. Not a bad thing, just different. It tasted okay but I could tell the eggs had no seasoning whatsoever. The salsa helped it. The hashbrowns were hot and crisp but were very bland. I understand letting people add their own salt and pepper but at least have some herbs or something.I was really hoping I liked this place since it’s so close but I don’t think I’ll be back.
Overrated restaurant, service is not great to say the least and the place old. (Dust on the jams on the table should give you an idea)They offer you protein and then will charge you extra… pay attention to what’s included in your order.For the same price range you can find better nearby.Not coming back.

A really classic diner environment and service with good home cooked meals! Really recommend the killer hashbrowns, tasted like a cheesy potato casserole. The omelettes and breakfast burritos are also good and there is a wide variety of ways to get them made. The portions sizes are also very large, definitely can expect leftovers.

Got a late breakfast here on Sunday morning & had a great meal and service. The waiter was very sweet and he always had a smile. Great breakfast sandwich on sour dough. I will need to go back to try their sweet potato hashbrowns - I stuck with the classic.

Service was friendly and efficient. I had breakfast. The bacon was really good, not disappointing like many other places. My waffle was perfect and the coffee good, hot and served in a large cup.
