My favorite diner in Chicago!! A tiny little place that puts out some wonderful food. Seems to be family owned and operated and they are all a delight! I will definitely be returning!!

I just left the establishment and A LOT has changed. The food used to be great and the service was awesome at one point. Today I walked in to order something, and the lady told me I had to pay upfront or they couldn’t even fix the meal! I haven’t been in this place in over 2 years.
I used to be able to sit here and pay afterward and also a few times in the past that I’ve ordered at the cash register. They went ahead and made the meal and then I paid for it. .The lady was very short with me and downright dismissive and rude, but cook was very nice , so I just took the takeout menu and left , im guessing due to the circumstances in the neighborhood,( a large homeless population?) it has gotten to the point where not only you’re not even talked to in a respectful manner you are rudely dismissed! I was taught to treat people with courtesy and respect . Little do they know , Im financially fit enough not only to buy a meal I could probably rent the place !! Sad???

Worst restaurant I have ever been to. When there open, which is not often or by the house posted on the door, the staff member was so lazy she wouldn't even walk over to where I was sitting at the counter to take my order. She wanted me to come to the cash register. I got so fed up I left and went somewhere else.I read your reply. First, when the employee said I had to come to the register to order she started to get an attitude. Second, I do NOT pay for food in any restaurant before getting my meal. I know of no other restaurant that demands this. Third, when I informed the employee I am hearing impaired I got a nasty look. Forth, I have trouble walking do to injured knees, this made no difference. I have walk past the door at 11am on a Saturday and the closed sign was still in the window and on your website it states tho opening hour as 9am. I will never patronize your establishment again.This is the last time I'm going to waist on this post. I did not yell or even raise my voice in the restaurant. Also, it seems you have an excuse for everything that I wrote. It also seems to me that your posts were on the side side. So don't worry, I'm not about to reenter an establishment that lacks common courtesy.

Old school diners are rare these days, this is one of those places. The staff are lovely and it's a great place to just chill, have a nice meal and shoot the breeze.

Best 10$ Ryb eye steak sandwich!!! Happened to stop by this place by accident, and boy, i was happy i did. Dont let the design of the place fool you. The food is really good, has very affordable prices and service was great! My steak sandwich was nothing but amazing and healthy. Loved it, delicious!!! If you are in the area, give them a try. You and your pocket won't be disappointed

Classic Chicago Dinner with real Chicago people. Not many of these places left and that is so sad. This is a must stop to enjoy some of the basics of the past, great food and good

I’m not sure the woman’s name who typically works there, but she is so lovely. I go there mostly just for her. She is so kind and it makes me feel like I’m back in a small town. The food is good too, don’t get me wrong, but the great service is something that is rare to find in the city.

I have been ordering fairly regularly for a few months, they used to have the greatest french fries, but as of today, September 18, 2023 everything has changed. What I was served today was absolutely horrendous. I’m shocked they would let such things go out the door. Very sadly I will not be ordering from them again.

First time visiting. This place may not appear to be anything special, but the food and service are great. Awesome veggie burger and plenty of fries to go with it at a reasonable price. The people working there are very friendly and helpful.
Vegetarian options: The veggie burger was great
