To keep it simple I've never had a bad meal here, the service is great, the food is fantastic and the coffee is always fresh. Would recommend the Cajun eggs benedict and when in doubt get a churro waffle for the table

Local hidden gem in St Paul’s West Side never disappoints. They opened in 1993 and kept it in the family until 2018 when it was sold to another great family.

Generous serving sizes, fresh ingredients, flavorful food. Ample free street parking. Simple furnishings and lots of holiday spirit (every season). They make everything from scratch and close at 1:00pm. Help keep their costs down by paying in cash. As of this posting, they do take debit/credit cards.

Not the best food I have had at a diner. I had a Monte Christo which was served with strawberry sauce not the traditional cranberries. The sandwich was grilled, hard and not dipped in eggs before it was grilled. Just not what I expected.
