“This is my first time here, and I have to say I absolutely love the atmosphere! It is so pretty inside and it's so clean. The staff was super nice.
The only negative thing that I could say was that it did take a long time to get the food even though we were the only ones in there and for what we bought it was really expensive. I thought we were going to get these like full sandwiches and they were these little tiny bitty appetizers.
We also ordered drinks the refreshers and they were so good. I highly suggest to get them with water not with lemonade because they are very sweet. But my first time there and I definitely will be going back. Also you can sign up for points and earn free food.
Good place!“

“This is clearly one of the last diners in Blue Island or surrounding neighborhoods. It was SO nostalgic inside, right down to the kinda-padded seats on the booths. The food is tremendous in taste and price and so was the service! I’m glad to see “staples” like this have survived and could give lessons in good old fashion dining. Thanks DeMars!💛“

As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and even offered us complimentary soups while we were waiting for our meals, which arrived quickly and tasted absolutely amazing. For the quality of the food, the prices are insanely cheap. The monster cookie is to DIE for. Highly recommend you stop in and check this place out if you need coffee or a good healthy morning or afternoon meal!“
