I will never order takeout again. The girl didn’t ask how I wanted my eggs and charged me $11 for a $9 order. Pretty sure sure scammed herself a tip on top of not being friendly.

When I became a single dad, I relied on forming habits to
get through the struggle and adjusting to a new way of life. One of these new
habits was Monday nights going to the public library, going to the park and
having dinner at Red Squirrel. Over the next 2.5 years, this pattern became a
tradition. It helped us weather the pandemic and give us a chance to form a
bond. Our tradition became known throughout my family and friends, that my mom
would call if we changed up the order one night and she didn’t find us at the
park. The workers at the restaurant grew to know us and that my son ordered the
same thing every time. 3 pieces of French toast, whatever melon they had as part
of their fruit bowl, and chocolate milk. We would talk about whatever was
interesting him and I did my best to try and follow along. Over time the restaurant
changed ownership. Some of the staff stayed on, some decided to move on. I
believe those that moved on were the ones that made the restaurant familial,
welcoming. For the last year I have
broken from our tradition on Monday nights. It has grown hard to support an
establishment that was once a second home. I understand times are tough and
once new ownership comes in, they want to make it their own. I understand that
costs of goods and services have gone up and the restaurant business operates
on tight margins. What I cant understand is how a meal for a 7 year old can
cost $17. When the change was made to use regular bread instead of Texas toast
for the French toast, neither he nor I complained, we adjusted and ordered
another slice. But this breaks down to $4 for a slice of bread dipped in egg
wash and $1 for fruit, when we once paid $2/slice with the fruit included. We
are not talking about the best tasting French toast. That has never been our
reason for going. We went because it was our habit, we liked the staff, we were
welcomed. Now when we go there are more and more empty tables, young staff on
their phones and not at all welcoming. There is no sense of familial or even
warmth. All that’s there is cold and sterile
Don't get the corned beef hash!

Food quality down Prices up.
Ever since this "Investment firm" has taken over food quality has gone down prices continue to go up every time I go in. We used to eat here 3-4 times a month now it's more like once every several months and likely just going to be never. Quit raising your prices. It's a small "Family" restaurant take your firm and find investments where you can squeeze a profit with out ruining the place and running off all the loyal customers.

Came in for dinner and had the gyro. The pieces were dry, thick, and poorly cut like a caveman sliced it. My friend had the Reuben and it was pretty good. I would stick to the deli sandwiches.

Overpriced for a lunch meat sandwich. The service was good. The atmosphere is outdated and needs remodeling.

Very small portions for the money. Actually thought it was child size.
The room filled with smoke from cooking. Don't get the home fries, it's like scalloped potatoes without the sauce. Waitress was clueless.
Forgot silverware, etc.. wasn't busy either.Will never go back.
Would have gave no stars.

Service sucks, cold food, no refills, nor were we checked on. The server is brand new, and you can tell that nobody helps her or has trained her. Would not feed it to my dog.
