Had a small birthday get-together with friends here and absolutely loved it! The vibe was warm and welcoming, the food was amazing, and most importantly, Jenessa, who was taking care of us, was incredibly sweet and attentive. She made the whole experience even better. Really loved the energy of the place and would definitely come back!

We were craving a true diner brekkie and we GOT one!! 💜 The service was outstanding, our main server was an absolute delight and the entire staff so attentive. Servings large and plentiful, unlimited coffee. Pleasantly surprised at the veggie options! They even have beyond meat sausage as an alternative which is a great touch.

I can’t lie, the milkshakes are great and the atmosphere is cool. The service was alright but the food was terrible. I found a huge piece of plastic probably 8cm long in my Caesar salad. When I confronted the staff about it, they laughed and made an excuse that it came from the pre made salad bag. Anyways, I will not come back and so will none of my friends.

Standard diner fare with a touch of retro and old charm. Food was priced average but also fair in regards to the taste and quantity served.

French toast was delish!

Cozy little diner, servers were incredible & accommodating for a group of 7 for a birthday dinner. I had a lot of fun & the milkshakes were absolutely delightful! I don't recall the name of our server but he was such a joy to be served by :)

Classic 50's diner's vibe that's an institution in Waterloo. Great value, big portions, good gluten free menu.
