Great place with a super fun atmosphere. If you are looking for a classic diner, this is a great option! I got the Tex-Mex Burrito and it was tasty with a healthy portion size. I also had a pancake which was excellent (and big). Neither was mind-blowing but still very good. The big drawback is the price. All entrees are around 17 dollars which isn’t insane, but definitely on the expensive side for a diner. Overall; good spot with tasty food but expect to pay around 24 or so per person all in.

The Hi Top Chicken Donut is a 3 out of 5. The chicken itself was well cooked and delicious, but the donut was too bready. Did not taste like a donut at all and it's bland thick bready texture ruined the dish. If they served an actual real sweet donut with it, the dish would be so much better because of the salty and sweet combo. Overall, it was not a good dish and I won't recommend that particular item to anyone.

Majority of items on the menu are so expensive, it's not a diner I would frequent on a daily basis but probably just stop by once a year. But great service, very lovely and friendly waitress. Great retro design and plenty of classic booth seating.

Smashed burger at Minneapolis Airport 10/10.
Their burger sauce they use and how the bread / meat is done. Is perfect.

Wait a biscuit! This was a delightful discovery. The food quality is excellent and the homemade biscuit amazing. Don’t let the ‘diner’ idea throw you. You won’t find a better breakfast and we were so pleased that gf options were available . Everything including the service was executed with perfection, and right down to the perfectly crispy hash browns. Something is working here and not one to be missed . Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The service was great but the food was terrible. The price for two pancakes is about 18 dollars and I couldn't eat them they were doughy and had an after taste of backing soda. I can say that I enjoyed the drink I had but I don't recall the name of it. It had ice cream in it and was pretty yummy. The French toast was okay but soggy and the turkey bacon tasted like cardboard. They were kind and understanding of our complaints and did refund the food we didn't eat at all. Like I said great service not great food and for the prices they charge they should do better.

Lots of character in this diner car restaurant. Food was delicious, I loved the Cuban Sandwich, and the donut was freshly fried and glazed.

You must try this spot. We pick a diner in each city we visit and this was up there. While the price seemed a bit high, the portions made up for them. The food tasted great (we had breakfast dishes). Very nice service and strong coffee.
