Incredible cafe. I’ve been coming here on and off for 8 years and it’s always great. Food is consistently good diner-quality, service is great and it’s a perfect place to grab breakfast or lunch. The only problem is it closes at 4pm so night owls will lose out.

Very good food and great prices! This spot is a favorite on a hungover sunday. My roommate and I got omelets and then split the buffalo tenders as well and all were satisfying!

I love this place. The food is always fantastic, the price point is the best, and I love the no-nonsense attitude you get from the staff.They know you’re here to eat and you know you’re here to eat.The vibe is basically “let’s just make this happen and move on”. It may not seem “friendly” to people, but they are consistent and always deliver exactly what you’re asking for. I cannot recommend this place enough.

First time here food taste amazing, great friendly service, fast service mind you, cheap prices, and even the coffee taste good. I usually go to Union but this diner is better. 4 out of 5 bc it’s not the best looking place but definitely my new favorite. I’ll be back !!!

Potion for price was great! Their potatoes are bland. Mine were not hot. The toaster apparently doesn't toast English muffins well doing.

Loved the old diner atmosphere, the food was delish, hot chocolate was especially good. Will be back, the sun light coming in in the morning is so nice.

Excellent cheap diner with friendly service. Don’t come here if you want fancy food, they do regular breakfast options great.

Quick service, good food and very nice staff. Right before my lunch break, I ordered two cheeseburger and fries. It was ready shortly after the time I arrived.

Best grilled chicken on Greek salad! If you love breakfast and quick lunch this place is great place to make your tummy happy.

The service here is absolutely terrible. Example: I asked to substitute a topping for the pancakes and the server looked at me like I was insane. Their face was in disgust, and all the while I was still trying to explain my order. I just wanted to add blueberries and chocolate chips to my pancake, jesus. She also brought the bill early, even though we were still eating.I've been here a few times with friends, and always this one server (potentially the owner as well?) has terrible customer service. I have a hard time recommending this place after this experience.
