Excellent service! The server was so patient and kind. We did not have to wait long for our food. Everything tasted delicious. The French toast was perfectly prepared. Great for family dining.

We are from out of town and at first we were a little hesitant about a diner in a strip mall, BUT we were pleasantly surprised to experience outstanding food. We ordered breakfast for dinner and each one of us was so pleased with the food, we are definitely coming back. GO! You'll be glad you did.

Been here three times. The first time the breakfast food was just eh. The second time I had lunch. Not bad. The third time I had another omelette but different from the first. It was very good until I got close to the end just to find hair underneath the omelette after I cut into it. 🤢 I'm done. I accidentally ordered the wrong omelette at first and was going to take that to go but I was so disgusted I left it behind. Averaging my 3 times here I'll rate it a 2.5⭐...
