This place does not have the best food, what is has is attitude. A great experience. The place is just a simple happy restaurant where you feel at home.

Our waitress and her daughter were just outstanding. The food was served hot and fast.

Just a good time

We were hoping to find a new local gem, but the food was disappointing. The eggs were watery and the pancakes tasted strange, as if there was too much baking soda in them. Not sure if it was a mistake that day or just their recipe. I would give them another try though!

Classic old-school diner. The breakfast burrito was wonderful and the service very friendly.

Favorite lunch spot.

The place is a joke… here’s a plain example…. Just a toast alone they give you butter to put on yourself…. I’m not paying you to have me do my breakfast and that’s just one clear example of how pathetic this places.

I rarely leave a review unless the experience has been really positive or vice versa. In this case, I sat down at the table and mentioned I want to place a “To Go” order. She immediately turned around and asked me to get up from the table while adjusting the napkin with cutlery on the table, hinting not to touch anything at the table. She then proceeded to place the menu back on the menu stacked next to the counter on a table and asked me what I will like to order. I told her I need a menu. She pointed to the stack of menus and asked me to go look at it. Mind you, she took the menu out of my hand when I said I wanted to order a “To Go” order. I went ahead to place an order while she rushed me through it. There were 3 people for Breakfast in the morning so I did not see a reason for the rush. She asked me to get my stuff to the counter before I ordered. I did have a big bag and my backpack on me. She took my order and the order came out quick however the pancakes were burnt. Overall, I thought the lady at the counter was rude and I personally would not go to a place where customer service isn’t prioritized nor is making sure that the food isn’t overcooked.

Noon on a Saturday we were able to get parking and got in and seated right away. This place is the perfect size. We had two omelettes and I had the 2222. Everything was really good, and those pancakes were amazing. Star of the place and I'd come back a dozen times just for those. All in all 5/5 glad we stopped by and we'll be back again!

Nice little diner. The food was good and the chef did a good job at making sure to cook my food separate as I am gluten free.

The place was mostly empty but we didn’t get our (very simple) egg breakfasts delivered to the table for over 30 minutes. I asked for crispy bacon (which it wasn’t) and eggs over easy, which were over cooked. The toast came out right away but it was also cold. I feel sorry for our server because it seems like it wasn’t her fault, but the experience was not something I would ever repeat or suggest to anyone else.
