This diner is amazing. From the ambience to the presentation of food it's all delightful. Service was very good and the food delicious. We've tried many breakfast and lunch options all very good.
Cool diner, got the Classic Breakfast with a side of sausage gravy! Wow. Our server Ava was friendly and efficient. Also, try the pancakes... THE best.... Ever!!
We had a reservation for 1:30P. Got there on time to be seated right away. Waited 25 minutes with no one speaking to us except the people next to us that were themselves waiting for the server the return. We ate there a few weeks ago and loved it and we'll probably give them another chance at some point, but we left. No bueno.
Wish I had the chance to try the pancakes! We had a 9:30 AM reservation and arrived on time. There were about five people ahead of us, which didn't seem like a big deal initially. We were greeted around five minutes into our wait, but then things stalled. It looked like there was only one person managing both the front and all the tables—about eight inside plus a few at the bar. Understandably, she seemed overwhelmed, and that raised some concerns about how the overall service would go. After waiting for a bit longer without much update or movement, we decided to leave. Hoping to come back at a quieter time because the menu looked promising!
This was our first time after seeing a review on Instagram. It did not disappoint. The Spaceballs 3.0 are delicious and so well worth it. Rich and peanut buttery-we took five of the seven home and they're good heated up as well. I had the egg and cheese sandwich and added bacon-one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. That special sauce-chef's kiss-no notes. My wife had the regular pancake and a side of bacon. The pancakes taste like yellow cake and it was absolutely awesome. Also good as a cold leftover and reheated. We definitely took stuff home as portions are a good size. Food was 10/10 and our server, Toby, was so kind and patient with us! Will definitely be back. Worth the hype!
It was a great meal. We really loved it. The home fries were fantastic and the omelette was delicious 
Fun, lively creative and unique atmosphere. Great food, excellent portions. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items.
what a fun place!! we had a reservation for 2, but we had 3 people and they were able to accommodate us with little delay. great menu - lots of interesting items. and it was all SO good!!!
Great place. The food was amazing,. The service was great. The back in the day soul music match the vibe of the restaurant. definitely check this place out.
Everything we had was delicious! I went with the Space Cowboy Burrito, and while I didn't love the salsa that the chips came with, it didn't matter, everything else on the plate was excellent! My daughter had the Mediterranean Moon and I had a few bites of that as well- and loved it. Portion sizes were generous, the staff was friendly, will definitely return! Oh, and the banana bread for dessert was out of this world!

Besides the food being out of this world, the service was truly a cosmic experience! 10/10 would recommend. CANNOT wait to go back and try more menu items! We tried the burger, BLT, loaded fries, egg sandwich, pancakes...... EVERYTHING was delicious and so flavorful. I'm still orbiting!!
I ordered drinks 30 mins ago and they haven’t even brought me anything

i’m not sure because we’re 50 minutes in and haven’t even gotten our drinks
My wife and I love to support local businesses. We looked up the restaurant recently and decided to take a trip to this establishment. So let me start off the positives. The potatoes were absolutely perfect. Seasoned and fried to a crispy perfection, the gravy also gets the high marks as I love good biscuits and gravy. Now, my biggest complaint was that the biscuit was cold and dry, and no amount of gravy could've saved it. Also, I never received my bacon that was placed with the order. We will return as the atmosphere is trendy and the staff is friendly. I will try something different next time.

The good was ok, the service, and the atmosphere were good, but this place is just way too expensive. It's hard to stomach $50 for two people for breakfast. I came here seeking a diner, someplace to wait before I went to the Municipal Court in downtown and it was a good way to waste time.
