"What a charming and cozy neighborhood breakfast spot! We had the large three-stack pancakes, which came topped with fresh strawberries, as well as eggs with corned beef hash. We also ordered ham and eggs, both of which came with a generous serving of potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The portions were so big that we even had leftovers to take home. The total came to just under $50, which was more than reasonable. We'll definitely be back. We really loved this place!"

Super disappointed, I got the country breakfast the most plan gravy I ever tasted no flavor what so ever and there was like no sausage in it what so ever 15 bucks for nothing I couldn’t eat it
The best diner in town! Cute atmosphere and the wait staff are so kind and genuine. Also they have really good spaghetti which I know sounds weird for a diner but just trust me on this one. Everything I’ve gotten here has always been really delicious and fresh. Couldn’t recommend more!

I absolutely love this place. It's exactly what you would want in a no frills diner. Super fast service and consistent food. The patio is also great once it warms up.

A Northside gem! Feels like home - cozy and inviting. Food is always good, but I seriously recommend the omelettes and the corned beef hash!!

Always a good breakfast here, but I usually get the same thing every time. Coloring books for kids, and outdoor seating in the warmer months. Sometimes a wait, but not too bad.
They are known for their potatoes, but the omlettes are great as well. Our kids always eat the pancakes. They can do fruit on the side and no whipped cream for parents if needed. They do their best to accommodate all, so just let the staff know what's up.
All sorts of memorabilia on the walls, so always something new to see. Patrons are friendly, and you can start a conversation or just eat in peace.
Worth repeat visits.
If you are portion conscious, 1 molester with potatoes and toast is good for sharing. Pancakes are very large.

Such a fun place! Love the posters and art on the walls. Love the colors of the walls and ceiling.
The host is very friendly as well as the staff. Busy place, even on this day when it's about 7 degrees outside. Brrrrrrrrrr!
The food is very good. I ordered the eggs and homemade beef hash. Very tasty. The side potatoes needed salt but that was fine.
Husband ordered the salmon Benedict and said it was tasty, but the sauce needed more acidity for him.
The menu is large and many dishes appealed to me, so we will be going back!
Kid-friendliness: Very.
