Great good. Very affordable! Service was friendly but was a little slow but it was also super busy. Bacon was cooked perfectly! Hash browns could have used a little longer on the flat top. Overall would recommend this place!

Now that I moved to Edison, I will be driving back there for my weekend ritual. I just can't give this place up!! And I'm not the only repeat customer! If you are in the area, GO!! You...
