Everything was great!
I had over easy eggs with toast and home fries. Food was cold and I had to use a knife to cut through the egg whites which weren’t white.
The atmosphere is great. Such a unique place but the food was horrible. The man that waited on us was very nice until I asked to have my food taken away from the table. I even told him I would pay for it I just didn’t like it. He asked what was wrong with it and I politely told him the food had no seasoning on it and the pita was stale and falling apart. Just wasn’t worth the calories to me 🤷🏻♀️ he got very offended and scolded me with looks. I’m sorry but will not ever return there. FIFA way too overpriced for the quality of it.
A great diner with good food and friendly staff.
Get the apple fritter French toast!
Never again the owner didn't give a shit . We didn't get what we ordered . Waitress didn't have a clue . The place was total Kaos what a joke . Owner called patrons a bunch of Karen's . They couldnt even handle coming around with a coffee pot .
Great menu selections dnd exceptional service
First of all the food was good. The prices were good. But too much upselling.
I won't go back simply because of the waitresses upselling. Maybe it's her job but I sure didn't like it.
All I want is eggs and toast. Which was reasonable.
Good breakfast good service

Food was not good...hot turkey sandwich was made with thin sliced cold cuts that tasted off...bottled or canned gravy and cornbread stuffing was old and dry and tasted like it had been warmed up in old rancid oil. Only good thing were the French fries. My companion's turkey wrap made with same cold cuts. Was also charged over the menu cost for the added stuffing. I brought it to the owner's attention and he returned the money in coins. Would not go there again.

Good breakfast
Eggs Benedict was cooked very well. Hollandaise sauce was creamy. I added some Sriracha to give a kick! Poached eggs were done wonderfully.
Delicious breakfast with 2 pieces of French toast, eggs over easy, sausag3 and bacon. Coffee and OJ. All in all God quick Diner location.
The restaunt has operated at that location for 13 years but has been in the city of Scotia NY for over 45 years!

I am regrettably writing a bad review for this place. I have been coming here for almost 20 years even before to its current location. It was run by nice older couple and son cooked. Been there for many years after with both good and bad experiences. Went in for lunch today and the son/cook/owner took our order. Everything was fine when ordering except my father changed his order once I ordered to my order as it sounded better for him. Unfortunately, the owner did not like that and decided to kick us out and not serve us after showing his frustration and stress. I know this sounds like it’s missing something to the story but it is not. In recent years this place has been lacking and I understand having a bad day but I tried reason with him but his actions and behavior was totally uncalled for. I will unfortunately not be returning this place again. And I am going to assume it won’t be around much longer if he can’t control his anger.

The moment my 2 girl friends and I walked in, we felt really unwelcome. We got a lot of stares and were seated at a table in the middle of the diner. We politely and warmly asked if we could move to a booth—there were plenty available, no wait—and were met with an unexpectedly VERY rude and mean response. Despite our friendly and warm approach, we felt like we were being treated differently. Eventually, a more kind waitress came along and moved us to a booth, but at that point, we felt so uncomfortable. It seemed like the staff might have preferred locals or regulars, which was confusing since we all grew up in Scotia. It’s a shame because we were really hoping for a good experience. Sadly, we won’t be coming back.

When trying to go out for a family breakfast today, we were disappointed to be refused service because there are seven of us. We had three young children and offered to squeeze into a round corner booth to which they refused and just simply said they could not serve us. No offer of waiting or accommodating by putting other tables together.

Wouldn’t seat us. So I can’t tell you about their food. Don’t take kids there apparently?
