Staff was extremely rude. I stopped in with a friend while we were in the area. I quickly used the bathroom before checking the menu, but then decided to look around the neighborhood first. Two staff members literally ran after me in the street, saying I had to pay for the bathroom. I hadn’t realized that was their policy, but I immediately agreed to go back inside and pay. Instead of handling it politely, the staff member typed in a random charge and told me “nothing is free” in a very condescending way. The attitude was unnecessary and uncomfortable. Definitely won’t be returning.

Absolutely the best customer service I have ever experienced. No doubt would be coming back. Took the order via grubhub and even labeled each meal with the persons name under the special instructions. Didn’t even ask for that. Dealt with 60+ orders phenomenally.

Decent service and comfortable seating space, but the food seems just okay here. The quality seems low, but I guess comparing the prices to other brunch spots nearby and Manhattan diners, it makes sense. I still wouldn't pay the price for what we got though. We got pancakes (regular and chocolate chip) and they were just alright. They were thin and floppy (not very fluffy, but they weren't dry). The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip pancakes saved the flavor, but I can imagine the plain pancakes being unappetizing/unsatisfying to eat. It looks unapparent from the outside, but there was a good amount of chocolate chips embedded near the center and inside of the pancakes. They provide a lot of packets of craft syrup and butter. Unfortunately, maple syrup is $2 per packet.

I've also tried some of their toasted homemade muffins, which were alright. The corn muffin was a bit dry, and the blueberry muffin was a tad bit too sweet for me.

I feel like I need to try some of their other dishes like omelettes or eggs benedict to fairly comment on their food quality, but I don't know if I'd come here for that when they don't appeal too much. I would say the quality is comparable to City Diner and Manhattan Diner.

Other notes:
- The handwritten check can be a little hard to discern.
- We go up to the cash register to pay
- They have a separate gluten-free menu

Came here tonight for dinner with my son. I ordered fish and chips and my son ordered a chicken deluxe sandwich. It came with honey mustard on the side. The honey mustard was in a little plastic container that they give you when they deliver. My fish and chips was one skinny large piece of fish filet that tasted like it was frozen. It was horrible. The tartar sauce was not fresh, it was in a packet. I took a few bites of the fish and left the rest. My son’s chicken was so over cooked that he choked on it and coughed it up after the second bite. He couldn’t eat anymore. I didn’t want to make a stink about it so I paid the bill, plus tip and left. Our waiter never asked us why we left all the food and why my son was choking. I will never come back here again!

I had breakfast and dinner here on my recent trip. The open-faced hot turkey sandwich was JUST what I needed after a long day of traipsing around the city. The French toast and scrambled eggs were great, and I don't know what brand of coffee they use, but it was SO good. The staff was great, and there were a lot of regulars there, which is always a good sign. I have another trip coming up soon, and I'll be sure to visit!

Woke up craving pancakes and found this gem! Fluffy buttermilk stacks, crispy bacon, and the friendliest service. The veggie omelet is stellar too. Now my weekend breakfast spot, worth the wait if there’s a line!

Simply: Diner feel, diner menu, diner food.
That said, they do have a separate 4-page gluten free menu that, surprisingly, offers a wide variety of GF options (not just salad) all the way up to dessert.
Service is very good and we seemed to have more than one person tending to our table.
The inside is small and crowded, but they do offer outside seating.
If you have a gluten allergy, definitely a place to add to your list.
