Service poor. Not attentive if we wanted more water. Did not ask how our meal was. Wife received a great portion of fries as a side dish. I received nowhere near. I asked the server why I did not receive the same portion. The server’s answer was as though I was being scolded as a child. Oh by the way French fries was prepackaged and the veal was frozen packaged and then heated. Do not recommend going here. You get what you pay for. Let alone the restrooms. Which was another negative experience.

Went once, wouldn't go twice. After waiting to be seated for a few minutes was told to sit down like i should have seen the non existent sign. Weird place , kind of a dive, not very clean. Watched cook standing on a peice of cardboard in the kitchen while I was staring at someone else's food left on my knife.
Coffee was ok , homefries were greasey , bacon over cooked.
Will be going to any other breakfast place next time

Love this place. It’s been there for 3 decades. That says it all.

Very unclean, the tables, windows, washrooms and kitchen. Terrible service and poor food quality as well

Cheap food and decent quality but worst service I have ever seen. Do not order water as it will never come (8-10 occasions). Tea has so much grit in it as they never clean their hot water heater and the scale will almost clog your throat! If you ask for something again that was forgotten, she will attempt to embarrass you in front of all the other patrons by yelling you are being rude because she can't handle a few customers for the last 30 years. Medication comes to mind. The "sloth" needs it.

Delicious pancakes, coffee wasn't bad, great prices, very fast and nice service. Would definitely come again. Great Sunday breakfast!

One of those hole in the wall type places. Literally best breakfast I've ever got.

It's ok.

Great breakfast ! Yummy!

Food is ok for the price. It’s definitely more worth it than a McDonald’s breakfast.

Wasn’t happy when waitress gave me three options for toast and didn’t say it’s extra charge if I pick the third option of rye which was bland and hard.

Dont recommend the coffee even though refills are free cuz it’s watery and bland.

We come here fairly often and it's a good price for breakfast, but sometimes the bacon is overcooked, and the eggs are covered in oil... so for that reason I am only giving 3 stars. I'll continue coming for the price. The staff is friendly. Not many healthy breakfast options. The breakfast potatoes are delicious.

The best clubhouse sandwiches. I wish your hours would be open longer perhaps a weekday & Fridays at least til 5 or 5:30! 3pm is way to early if you don't want breakfast.....more brunch into dinner. Thank you.99

Food was delicious and service was good
Has an old school vibe which I love ❤️

Terrific staff and food, a true stand out as a family owned local restaurant
