Been a while since I've been here and it's still as great as I can remember. Amazing prices and still has the classic diner feel. The staff works as a team and the food is so good. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for breakfast.

I used to eat here when I was in grade school over 15 years ago. I had always wanted to try coming back again as I had such great memories of eating here. I finally had a chance to come back so I brought my father and grandmother. It was the exact same as I had remembered! My family was blown away at how delicious the food was. Comparing it to more expensive breakfast places but at a much more reasonable price. The atmosphere was awsome! My grandmother loved how it had a old-school vibe of a diner from the 50's. She really loved looking at all the old pictures on the walls. The skillet I ordered was SO good. The French toast was one of the best I have had. I use a wheelchair and they were happy to help accommodate me so that I could access the dining area. Its cash only. I would eat here every week if I lived closer. Overall awsome experience and just as amazing as I remembered. Bonus points that from what I can remember my waiter was pretty handsome lol. 😆🍳 😍

The soups here are great and everything is fresh. It isn't beautiful but its exactly the way a diner should be at the same time.

I was gonna give it a 6/5, because how could we have a set of food below $10 in this economy! 2 eggs with Corn hash comes with potatoes and pancakes for $9.25. And honestly it’s the best meal I’ve had since coming to Chicago. Not too salty, the beef hash balances the mildness of the potatoes. Good stuff until then… I knew it was too good be true. We each ordered a set of food and 2 coffees, but the bill stated $42.75. no matter how I calculated it, it sums up only to $36. Asked the waiter if this price includes tips? He explained that it was the price including tax, but not the tips. But 42.75/36 amounts to around 20%. How could the tax be 20%???? My dad still gave the waiter a 20% tip so we payed $50 in total including tips. The service and food was both great, but the dishonestly that they demonstrated was unacceptable. Why should we be so nice when they tried to rip us off??? I think we should’ve just payed them $45. Oh well…
Great dive breakfast place
