The ham and cheese omelette was good. The home fries were not. Definitely over priced.

Exactly what a diner should be. Pleasant and efficient staff and great food. Best patty melts and French fries around, great breakfasts also. A bit pricey now, but seems like everywhere is.

This was a treasured after hours refuge back in the day. It still has great food and very friendly service. But prices are out of control.

It’s been my first visit although I have been in the same vicinity for several months when visiting from Canada! I liked the retro look of the place however the stalls are very small and confined thus not allowing one to be comfortable specially a large man like myself who has trouble sitting on tight spaces! I barely fit today in the small booth surrounded by plexiglass windows… sorta reminds of when we were under the COVID pandemic and isolating in tiny spaces… the coffee was excellent, my eggs and toast were fine, the ham was a bit over cooked , grits were a bit dry and the sausage patty I ordered extra was not worth the price! I don’t think I will be coming back…

Do not go to this diner. No reason for the prices to be this outrageous. 20 dollars for a Mediterranean omelette? Come on people. There are better options in Ithaca, NY. Lincoln Street Diner and Sunset bar and grill. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The food was just average. My grandsons burger was over done. They waitress was attentive. Automatically adding 20 % tip is sneaky. We will not return.

Old American-style diner. You don't see this often in NYC. Staff are friendly. Food is good.

Breakfast was good. I was just little shocked on the prices. But I understand. Also the meters actually work so bring some change for parking on the street.

It was busy and the waitress was stretched too thin.
