Crazy busy the day we visited, sat at the bar area cause there were no seats left. Drinks came fast. Friendly staff. There was a dog being held by a man when another dog came in there. There was some noise, but all settled down fast. Overheard the staff saying they never heard the dog bark before, so I assume the guy was a regular. Odd having dogs in a diner so if you have an allergy be aware. Food was good.

Couldn't see what to get. Breakfast all day. Reuben's, chicken sandwich's, Cheesesteaks, Salads. And love, homemade chips. My favorite not a lot of salt which we liked. We definitely will be back.
