We were there late morning on a Tuesday. The waitress Sharon was very friendly. We started with the coffee. It was very good and I don’t normally drink coffee. It was a cold day in December though. Needed something to warm me up. I got their 10yr anniversary skillet. Highly recommend it. It has scrambled eggs, spicy Italian sausage, potatoes, green peppers and mozzarella cheese melted over the top. DELICIOUS! My wife had the #3 which is scrambled eggs, home fries and choice of meat (she chose turkey sausage) with Texas toast. She said it hit the spot. Definitely going back again.

Food was diner food. But better then. Dennys or ipod diner food.

Wait staff was fine. Overly friendly made lots of dad jokes. Its what ever they were very attentive

Its a diner in Buffalo in a not so affluent part of town. Its not bad its not the Ritz. Would definitely go back if I was in Buffalo again.

Excellent small spot on Hertel. I ate here about ten times over two weeks when staying in Buffalo recently. Food is freshly cooked and the menu has plenty of options.

Visiting Buffalo. Google didn’t let me down!
Fabulous little corner Mom and Pop type place. Really good food, really really fresh, great prices …..wicked combination. Ask for Jen she’s the best. Right from the start… You get told you can have anything on the menu anyway you want. I had a toasted red pepper with spinach, bacon and Swiss cheese on Texas toast . No take home today. Just crumbs left. Real good old-fashioned Customer 🥳
Thank you!

Me and my kid came here for breakfast today! I got the sausage gravy special & my son got the kids breakfast sampler with a funfetti pancake. It was all very good! My son said he had the best chocolate milk ever as well. Service was very quick and friendly. The cafe was very clean, small but cute with option for a covered outside seating area. We grabbed some donuts on the way out and they are amazing, old school,not tooo sweet,but perfect(especially to pair with a coffee). Everything came out to about $30 with food,drinks,and sweets together, which in 2025 is an AMAZING price. We will be back 🙌🏼

The food is quick to be served. Never had a meal there I.haven’t liked. My favorites are the chicken, quesadilla, the sunrise, quesadilla, the tuna melt, and the mushroom Angus burger. My family is in town for a family reunion from three different states and they all loved the food. Everyone continued to comment on how reasonable the prices are in comparison to other restaurants in the area.
