My waitress April was amazing and went over and beyond for us. What I didn’t like is what I’m gonna assume is the owner is when she made a racial slur about Mexicans
I had the French toast and cinnamon and bacon it was amazing very good service very quick

I'd personally just go to Stuffed Bun..
This diner charge 5 bucks for fries for non seasoned fries.
Chicken was undercooked and when I asked for a refund they said no refunds when there's no signs anywhere.

My hubby and I went here yesterday. We were greeted by a woman who spoke maybe four words of English. Seriously. She called chicken noodle soup “noodle chicken” and chicken lemon rice as “lemon…. Rice…” then ignored us for 20 minutes until the senior waitress came and rudely took our order. While waiting for our food we got to hear them either fire a waitress or her quit. Then we watched a fight break out between said waitresses. When I got my check, it was $64 for two people! I went up to ask for a carry out box and to pay my bill when I realized they had added $10 in gratuity on my bill. When I asked to have it removed the senior waitress yelled at me. Actually yelled at me. When I told her I didn’t want it on there she badgered me until “I finally said the service was bad! It was just really bad! I don’t want to tip you! You’re rude!” Her response was “service was bad, I’ll take it off. Any other reason I would not”. No where did they a say gratuity gets added to every check. That’s illegal! The waitress that quit/fired they were trying to force to pay things too where she kept saying “it’s illegal to make me pay for that, I just want my check” they kept refusing.
All in all my takeaway is this is an overpriced, low quality restaurant full of untrained and rude staff. It’s less than a mile from my house and this visit once again reminded me why I’ve only been here twice in over two years.
I literally had a panic attack in my car from how bad that woman yelled at me. I will never go there again!

Food was delicious service from Ashtin was great she checked on us several times and made us feel welcome. Thank you looks like this is a hidden gem. If we are ever back in Pontiac again this will definately be a go to spot.

The portions have gotten tiny. They are now adding gratitude into your bill. I tip good but if and how much depends on the service. That's my decision. I'm never going back and spreading the word

Really nice brunch place. We come from Canada and felt very welcomed right when we got into the diner. Its very cozy and definitely not busy at all. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the waiterress had lots of patience and was very kind. The food was delicious and there was lots of good sides that come with basically everything. Everything seems very clean and the prices are reasonable. Strongly recommend coming here.
Parking: Lots of parking space, very clean, and free
Kid-friendliness: They have a really cheap and good kids menu

Mid level breakfast spot near me. I've stopped in a couple times. I won't be going back since they started charging an 18 percent tip per ticket. As in they give you no choice it's just added in. The only reason I'm reviewing is because Google asked nicely. Nothing about this place is remarkable.

There was a dead bug in our food. The owner lied about being the owner and said he would have to talk to himself tomorrow about it, refusing to give any discount or make it right, after him seeing the bug. He was so rude and disrespectful about it, after he was confronted on lying. We've been loyal customers for years, coming once a week faithfully. They don't get enough business to be treating patrons this way! Our family and friends will never eat there again!
