It’s a local diner, classic greasy breakfast, 10/10 taste. Hard city water, so coffee is hot, does the job, but a bit off flavor wise. Great spot for that breakfast hit, cool staff too.

Great little place. Beware of the service charge though, even on debit Mastercards which is against Mastercard rules!

I came in today and stood at the first counter without being greeted. A server was there on her phone and didn’t look up once to greet me or even acknowledge my existence. After standing there for 5 minutes 1 foot away from her, I asked her if I could place an order and she told me to go around the corner to the other counter. As someone who never comes to this restaurant, a simple “how can I help you” would have avoided this rude interaction. As a former server myself, I’m always so blown away by poor service because it’s literally not hard. I honestly won’t be returning. I didn’t feel welcomed at all so I would prefer to spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

Went over for breakfast the other day while staying in the area. Not a fancy place, but good solid food. I enjoyed my veggie omelette and turkey sausage, although the omelette was a bit greasy. My wife liked her Alaska French toast and regular French toast. Our server was really good. She was friendly, attentive, didn't auction off the food and pre bussed our table. Prices are average and it's worth stopping by.

I found this cute little restaurant while I was staying in Kalamazoo. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the prices were unbelievable. Gia was my server all three times i came in, and she really went above and beyond. On my second visit, I also met Bre, who made this delicious treat for me, after I had a pretty tough morning. Thanks ladies! I will definitely be back.

so disappointed by the quality of the food I received ... I ordered the poor Richard's scramble one of the supposed signature dishes... the ingredients are not fresh they used canned mushrooms and bacon bits with 1 whole real piece not cooked thru.. The quality of the food has def gone downhill .. I frequented this place in my early 20s and it was great... have to say I probably wont go back

I used to love this place, but the service and quality have really gone downhill. I was in a good mood and I wasn’t in a rush. But 30 minutes wait time was enough time for my friends to convince me to meet up with them elsewhere. The place wasn’t even that busy.

Phenomenal food. Mushroom Swiss burger with bacon, matched with some onion rings and a pepsi. Amazing. Alyssa was super friendly and just a great person to have there.

Great place for lunch.

One of the workers was very rude. Behind the counter. She asked if we were ready to order. We misunderstood what she said thinking she asked if we wanted coffee. She got upset and leaned over the counter in a snarky tone saying that's not what I asked you. Answer what I asked you. It ruined the whole mood. Pancake was burnt on one side, you could barely cut it. The eggs and hasbrowns were good. But I personally will never come back here because of that nasty staff member.
