There is so much to say about Vicky the owner- but I’ll start with saying I was one of her tenants for over a year. Her and her husband own the restaurant and the 3 buildings next to it- including 2 Apt buildings. Vicky likes to pretend she is a kind “grandmotherly” type, but in reality she is all about the money regardless of human safety. She lied to my partner and I about the eviction of criminally violent basement neighbors- in that she had not started the eviction process- so we suffered 2 months living above a mentally unwell family that verbally abused and threatened us, along with causing extensive property damage like breaking glass on the back steps so us and our dog would step in it, pouring grease on our stuff outside, and beating on the floors all night. Cops were called endless, and the main aggravator was arrested repeatedly but was always released. During all of this Vicky did nothing, only filing for eviction after a month of us begging to break our lease. After rocks were thrown at my window, I could not take it and begged Vicky to let us move to her other apartment building. It was right next door, so the harassment continued, but at least we weren’t above the criminals. Then Vicky became rude and aggressive about every little thing she could find- like that we left the old apartment dirty when we fled it, or that a screen door used by all was left open at the new place, or that a stairwell bulb was left on- again in the shared stairwell. All while still being verbally abused by the old neighbors until their eviction 6 months later. I received accusatory and rude texts for months, until finally we noticed our extremely high electric bill, and turned to our new neighbors about the cost. By the way, our new neighbors- the ones upstairs- were also tenants chased out by the old criminal neighbors, they too had fled one building away because it was the only affordable thing after a move. So Vicky already knew it was dangerous, and let us move in anyway. But the last straw was actually finding out that in our new place, the apartment she so graciously “allowed” us to move to, the electric meter was hooked up to 3/4th of the whole building. Our bill covered the entire basement unit of other tenants, the coin washer & dryer used by all, the storage area, back stairwell lights (yep, the same ones she harassed me about leaving on) and part of the upstairs apartment. So we moved again. And Vicky I know you’ll probably never see this or care, but I hope it you are looking to rent from her you see this and don’t. Do not do it. Also the food is mediocre, they don’t wear gloves, and she charges you for absolutely everything- including putting stuff on your table you didn’t ask for like coffee and making you pay for it. So maybe don’t eat here either.

Came in with my girlfriend on a Saturday for the first time before going to work. I had the skirt steak and eggs while she had a veggie skillet. The steak was amazing. Very flavorful and on point. My girlfriend was impressed with her skillet. The veggies were fresh. Not over cooked, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back for more. Highly recommended.

Vicky, the owner is a star. So welcoming and kind. Thank you!I would recommend to come here if you need a break, have a coffee and some food. Always great.
Lots of classics and favorites done right, but their creations are amazing! We stumbled across this gem one day. Come frequently now! So much food for the price!
Vegetarian options: If you are wanting something and you do not want the meat, they will happily substitute it for you!

Everything was great, and perfect cheeseburger ?
Dietary restrictions: I avoid MSG made from soy and so didn't use their catch-up or mustard. Normal for me.
