Today I found the best diner. Our server asked questions and asked the chef for details on a dish she wasn’t as familiar with. She was new, but excellent.I had a Pittsburg cod sandwich, fries and coleslaw. Great sandwich and their fries are awesome. Everything was hot.I am really picky about coleslaw and ordered it on the side as it came on the sandwich. I didn’t have high hopes but today I had perfect coleslaw. The exact crisp texture, ratio of tart to sweet, liquid to solid and finely chopped cabbage exists. Never change that recipe. I even took a side home for later.My husband’s burger was big, cooked how he likes and on a Kaiser, not brioche like everyone is doing. He doesn’t like brioche buns so this was a pleasant surprise.Everyone was friendly and the whole vibe was just positive. The diner itself is pretty dated but it’s comfortable and prices are reasonable. They even have a bar so that was nice. Go check it out.

You’re standard greasy spoon diner. Nothing special about this place but the food was good. Prices are average.

Every time I go I have a great experience! Food is great and service is great. The one hostess, Rose is so sweet. Even though they were busy I was in and out in 30 minutes. I like coming up here before going to work. Not many places anymore you can get breakfast for under $20

The food was good, and it definitely felt homie here. I was surprised by the portions because it looked small. However, the food was filling! I couldn't finish my breakfast and had to takea box home. It's a good place to stop by for a quick visit.

Burger was amazing! I substituted fries for the chips. The turkey bacon was perfectly crispy and flavorful. The egg was cooked to dippy perfection.

Classic diner in all respects. Excellent food - try the pork and sauerkraut, and the baklava. Staff is helpful and friendly. Booths are comfy, everything's clean, and the vibe is cozy.
