I mean… the place itself is a vibe. But after driving for 3 days to get to NOLA, we’d hoped for more. The server attitude was not what we expected. In fact, the new server in the section beside us looked like a breath of fresh air from what we got. Forced smiles and insincere service, floors so sticky my shoes stuck to it (yuck), bathroom door also sticky (I mean?), overcooked eggs, one plate so hot your couldn’t touch it, the other three meals were served cold. Coffee was abysmal, food was beyond average. The other servers were also giving the impression they wanted to do anything but serve you. We did get a nice smile when the bill was delivered though… Go somewhere else, with so many options, this one should be a pass.

Place was dirty. The server was rude. The food was cold even with two tables of people inside eating. Eggs were overcooked. Hashbrowns were overcooked. Bacon was cold. Grits were not done and very dry. Didn't touch the food and asked for the check immediately. The server didn't ask what was wrong with or for them to remake anything. Usually go to Camellia and gave this place a shot. Never again! Waste of $40

Super funky spot with great diner fare elevated with some extra imagination on several of our family's dishes. Extra incentive to pass around plates so everyone could try some.

I had Father's Day Brunch here with my daughter. It's a classic diner, and the food does not disappoint—good menu and good service, not to mention a fantastic soundtrack overhead.
Plus, it's BYOB; yes, bring your own Champaign and OJ and make your mimosas.
It's right on Magazine Street, so after breakfast or brunch, you can spend time strolling the shops on Magazine.

Amazing orleans slam! So much but so good so go hungry! Pancakes are massive and so fluffy! Reasonably priced and fabulous!
Love this place! The service is always great and quick. I would normally give a 5 star review here but Ive been here so many times and have noticed a slight inconsistency with the food portions but regardless always delicious. Also- I love the quirky menu descriptions, it adds to the eclectic charm of this diner.I love the greek omelette and my partner loves to get the sinkhole omelette (which has just about every ingredient offered inside of it; no modifications allowed) and we’re always pleased!ALSO on a beautiful day don’t miss out on the patio seating, perfect for larger groups! I had some friends come in town for Mardi Gras. We were sat in under 20 min on a busy Saturday, during the peak of Mardi Gras. You’ve got to try this place!!
Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options and other options pretty easily modified to accommodate
Wheelchair accessibility: Its a compact diner but definitely still accessible in a wheelchair, you pull right up to any of the booths with no issues.

I wanted to love the food after seeing this place on a recent food list. But it left me so disappointed. I ordered takeout and the bacon was so overcooked that it was tough to chew. The grits lacked any flavor whatsoever and they charged you extra for utensils with condiments. The eggs also lacked flavor and since they only gave me one condiment packet I had to choose whether to use it for the grits or the eggs. The pancakes were super ordinary and tasted like the kind from a box. They charged for syrup for the pancakes. The orange juice did not taste freshly squeezed. It was such a disappointing meal.

One of our "must visit" spots when we visit NO. Great hearty breakfasts, with creative preparations of familiar meals... Adding latkes or creamy black beans, or crawfish etouffe. Everyone is super friendly, the back patio is a relaxing patch of greenery.
