Best breakfast in the world, period. I lived in Durham for 4 years and this was my go-to breakfast spot for the entirety of it. Every time I visit, I make sure to hit it up. Absolutely amazing service and atmosphere and food is always cooked to perfection. Omelettes are incomparably fluffy and fries are always deliciously crispy. My fav is California omelette with home fries and sunflower toast!

really solid diner foods, served by kind and fast staff. it is underseasoned but they give salt and hot sauce for a reason.

giving the service 1-star because they don’t take AMEX. cmon it’s 2026. the anti-AMEX sentiment is a boomer take.

The Southwest bowl is tasty, but did not live up to the spicy label. Very crowded on Saturday morning, but they were moving tables quickly and service was fast.

Love the creativity on flavor combinations. Has a great feel to the place...relaxed and comfortable. Great people, great food, wife and I no longer search for new places to eat when in Durham unless rhey have closed for the day. Our new go to place, been there three times so far.

This little place is a hidden gem!!! The food is wonderful and reasonably priced. The only set back is the lack of table space. We had a party of 5 sitting at a table for 4. We all loved our food and service! I hope to return soon.🙂
