Placed an order for Thanksgiving wanted the chocolate chip cheese cake ended up with plain pancakes for dessert. Called the lady said they were out of cheese cake. The more I questioned her .she then said I could come pick up the chocolate chip cheese cake. I explained I had no transportation and then she said yes again they had the cheese cake but I had to pick it up. So I said thanks no transportation so good bye.

I love the mom & pop feel of the diner. But it takes too long to place an order because they don't speak English. You have to use Google translate or point a lot. The breakfast is very good. Which is what usually come in for.
November 2023
Decent little hole in the wall neighborhood diner, nothing fancy. We got breakfast around 10am and it wasn’t busy. Service was good, food came out quickly, tasted good and was decent sized portions.
