I’ve been going to this diner for years when I lived near st. Lawrence Avenue I moved away years ago and missed their food then when I moved back to the Bronx I saw them on DoorDash and wanted to try their food again and it did not disappoint still tastes delicious and their portions are great and they are very friendly in there I’ve eaten in the restaurant a few times as well. I’ll never stop ordering from them they are amazing!
