It was our first time eating at this place. Food was delicious and service prompt. Will go again.

I liked how the place looked when I was younger just out of nostalgia. The food has always been about the same they used to only serve chicken and waffles which were horrible but now they have a much more hashed out menu. It was pretty decent I got the capns sub. The onion rings were way way too oily. The ice cream was fantastic I had a coconut and orange blossom milkshake. The service was extremely awkward I assume it was a young man who just started working as he didn’t speak up very much and I had a hard time hearing him but he was nice and tried his best. The service was fast and prompt. We were not paying attention to the time and stayed 15 min after closing and we were so sorry as time got away from us. It was a pretty decent place I don’t think it’s as good as it was when I was younger but then again maybe I’m blinded by nostalgia. Wasn’t able to get pictures this time aside from boba

First time since I've been here under the new ownership. The place was empty on a Friday morning. The waitress was attentive. The food was below par. My wife's pancakes were tough and my french toast was.just white bread with hard edge. We felt the food was a bit overpriced.The place was clean but didn't really feel warm and friendly. In the future this will just be our I've cream place.

I had the chili cheese dog combo and it was not at all as described. My biggest issue with the hot dog was the American cheese instead of cheddar. In addition we asked for toast and had to remind them that we needed toast 3 times. They finally brought it at the end of meal. The boba drink was not mixed thoroughly which resulted in a mouth full of matcha powder chunks and the boba was still hard in the middle. The restaurant was clean and seemed neat. Perhaps I caught them on an off day but it was a very disappointing experience.

On the menu drinks were advertised as $1.95 but we were charged $2.25 per drink. Not a big deal but the menu should reflect the true prices. Also, when our drinks were brought out the straws and stir sticks were already in the cups. So an employee had to touch my straw in order to put it in my drink. We were brought creamer for coffees shortly after, however, they took the bowl they gave us and gave it to another table so we had no creamer for refills. When our food finally came out 35 minutes later it wasn’t good. The waffles were obviously frozen and they were cold when they came out. The sausage was like school cafeteria sausage and not appetizing to look at. All around bad vibes.

I saw that they recently changed ownership so our experience could be reflective of that. They seemed like nice people but the experience overall was not impressive.

The best breakfast I've had in a very long time!! way better than everywhere else in town, even better than IHOP. I got the "Hungry" with sunny side up eggs and french toast both were cooked to perfection! The French toast was made old school just like the way my mom used to make them!! Highly suggest this place to eat! super clean too unlike other places around town and great customer service!

The chicken and waffles was overcooked but other wise very good and they compensated the overcooked food with ice cream so 5 Stars and I’ll be back again!

A nice, friendly little place. The food is very good, good ice cream shop fare but is served with a smile and a friendly face. On top of that we learned that orange sherbet and Mt. Dew makes a YUMMY float. ?????
