Amazing french toast with eggs and sausage. Would come back. Friendly owner/chef, and good coffee, also good value.

This place is great! Owner/operator is a cool and kind cat, a retired chef with lots of great stories if you ask him. He slings delicious eggs and will get you in and out quickly if you need it! The atmosphere of this little triangular hole in the wall diner is, true to form, golden.

The Utica burger is outstanding, if you don't like it something is wrong with your mouth.

Best burgers in town. I mean like nothing comes close. Jeff makes other stuff too which the wife loves, but I never get past the burgers on the menu.

The good stuff: the chef and owner is a world-class chef who got tired of making hundreds of five-star meals every night, and focused his locally sourced foodie genius on the most humble of dive bar diners. He grows or forages much of what he serves, and is a damn interesting guy on top of all that.

The bad: it's SMALL. A counter that sits 8, and two small tables. Come during off hours if at all possible. But... come.

Love this place. The house fries are some of the best I’ve ever had! Everything is delicious!

Alex Bennett

Nice little homey place. It was so nice to have a delicious meal after a long drive for work.

Best diner food, kindest owner, cutest corner shop. MUST SEE when visiting utica. Highly suggest getting the cannoli french toast and the full english- the sausage is to die for.

These are the places I like to find. This little gem will not disappoint unless you want takeout, which they don’t have from what I’m told. Jeff is the owner, chef, prep guy, server and dishwasher all in one. I gave him 5 stars across the board including atmosphere. It might not be a 5 star restaurant atmosphere that you’re paying $100 a plate but it’s great for this little place.
I had breakfast here and I’ll be going back later today for lunch. To many things that I have to try in the short two days I’m in town. The food was delicious and it was like my mom or day was in the kitchen cooking it for me. This is a must try. Open Monday thru Friday 7-2. Come get you some good food cook fresh daily.
