Retro atmosphere, waitress was friendly. Cheese omelet was low on cheese. Cofee was good.

I ordered two eggs scrambled with bacon. It came with home fries and toast for $8.70. One Pancake was $3. And a diet coke was $2.25. $13.95 right? Well, my bill was $17.01. $2 difference. When I asked I was told that the eggs had gone up $.25 each ($.50) due to the bird flu and since I ordered a blueberry Pancake that was an additional $1.50. She apologized for not telling me about the extra charge on the pancake. Someone that reviewed this restaurant also had a price discrepancy. I pointed out that the menu says the price is right there...$8.70. "Yes, but the egg price went up by $.25 per egg a couple of days ago." RED FLAG. We can raise our prices anytime we want.

As I sat eating I was facing the counter. There was an employee cutting butter into slices to be given out with orders as I got one with my Pancake. I watched as she cut the butter and then placed the slice into a container with ungloved hands. RED FLAG. Unsanitary.

The waitress was very nice and polite. I gave a 3 star service because she failed to tell me about the change in egg pricing (Rip off) and the additional charge for Blueberries. A 50% markup for just sprinkling a few Blueberries on the batter. My payment alone covers the cost of Blueberries for at least two other customers.

The food was not something that makes me want to go back. The home fries were a combination of burnt and undercooked slices. The rye toast was burnt the first time so she told me it was getting remade. The scrambled eggs were ok. The bacon was very crispy but you could tell it had been made ahead of time.

I really wanted to like this place but I can't say that I do. I don't see a need for going back.

Did you ever notice that good reviews are usually real short. That’s because they’re solicited reviews meant to make you think that this place says anything like couth respect for their customers and good food. If that’s what you’re looking for don’t go here! I too had the eggs over easy with their burnt slices of potato that they call home fries. I was wondering why the customer Before me ordered french fries instead. He had enough patience to come back! If you’ll read yelps reviews, you will find at this place over and over again gets bad reviews. They’re rude, nasty self-centered individuals that don’t have the time a day to talk to you about how you could improve the quality of the serving of food that they try to give you!

I was so excited to try this place... I am sorry I did. I ordered two sandwiches and was told it comes with either a soup or fries. I declined and then changed my mind telling the waitress I will actually take one of each since they already come with the sandwiches anyway. And, I grabbed a Snapple. When I got home, I saw my order came to $31.96 (which also included an added service charge of $1.19!). I pulled up their menu and the prices DID NOT match what they charged me. The lady on the phone was incredibly rude and could not break the bill down for me and put me on hold, came back again with an attitude and tried to explain that only fries come with the one sandwich (which was not at all what she told me in person) and tried to tell me that $13.95 $8.50 and $2.95 plus the service fee is equal to $31.96. Hmmm... I don't enjoy writing negative reviews but getting ripped off is unnecessary and if it were an honest mistake, I would have left it alone however, with the added attitude about it on their end is the reason why I am here. Check your receipts people! And a note to their staff, if you're having a bad day and cannot remain pleasant about a discrepency... take the day off and stay home ;)

I ordered though Grubhub but its showing as undelivered in the app so I can't review it there.
I was not impressed at all. My grilled cheese and fries were cold when I got them. To the point that the melted cheese had congealed. The fries were a soggy mess and would have been even hot. I ordered a diet coke, they sent regular coke. I won't order from here again.

Came for lunch with my grandma and we loved it! The servers were all very kind and attentive, the decor was fun to look at, and the food was delicious. I got the Reuben special and my grandma got a breakfast sandwich (which was huge).

Great breakfast! Need a pit stop on your way down the shore? Great local place to have a quick meal. Blueberry pancakes and a Greek eggs Benedict did not disappoint.
