Delicious diner food at fair prices served by a very friendly and attentive staff. I had a breakfast sandwich and pancakes and both were very good. The sausage patty on my sandwich was nice and crispy and the pancakes were super fluffy. The coffee was fresh and pretty good. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. The food is good and the retro stainless steel aesthetic is very fun.

Definitely a hidden gem. Hehe, it’s a very good diner. Nothing crazy is going on here. But they are very good.

Really good food, and fast, courteous customer service. A must-stop place when in the Syracuse area. I had chicken fried steak with eggs and homefries, and coffee. Tax, tip and all was about $24. There are many options that are reasonably priced, but mine was more expensive because of the steak. I'll go again, and bring others for a business breakfast, lunch or informal meeting. There were plenty of seats, though I was there during a weekday.
My partner and I went here for the first time this weekend for breakfast, the chicken for the chicken and waffles was dry and seasoned with Italian seasonings. Not what you would expect for breakfast 👎 The server seemed so unhappy and the vibes were just NOT diner vibes. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone trying to have an enjoyable experience. We started our day here and couldn’t wait to leave. The food was not great, should have just went to McDonald’s for a better meal that would have cost less. 🤷🏻♀️

Just an awesome place for a hot made from scratch breakfast on a cold December morning.
Hash Attack plate is worth it as it warms the soul 😁.

Parking was easy for lunch on a Wednesday and we were seated immediately. Place was clean though a window decoration fell on me after the tape that held it up gave way. Ordering and food went fine and coffee top ups were attentive. Waitress wasn’t particularly friendly but guess that’s ok. Pancakes were dry and butter comes in packages. French toast was good and so were fries.
