Upon arrival I noticed the place was empty and found out why. The food is nothing short of disgusting. So disappointed.

I've been meaning to come here for quite some time, and I sincerely regret not doing so sooner. It's such a delightful, charming, and welcoming spot — the platonic ideal of a diner. The food is incredibly reasonable, and the portions are perfect. Friendly service and vintage decor make you feel right at home, so make sure to stop in!

Lots of charm potential. Ultimately run down, uninspired service, cleaning and organization needed.

Everything was very dirty and sticky! Service: what little we received was very rude and rushed. The menu was hand written on cardboard which was barely legible. when out plates were being brought out the server demanded to know "who had the ham and cheese Omelette! it was one of you!" turns out that was the willalby's Omelette that we had order. At some point while eating our greasy under cooked food a crumpled up grease stained hand written receipt was tossed on the table. When it came time to pay they took my card and demanded to know what there tip amount would be. Apparently you just tell them so they can go put it in for you. We regrettably blurted out 20% in order to escape this establishment as soon as possible. Will never return unless it is to take up a parking space and grab some Sala Thai next door.

Wonderful little gem. Amazing food and best prices in the area by far. I felt like a little kid again, getting breakfast with my uncle before spending the day fishing on his boat.

My honest review. Been going by this place since I was kid and was always curious how it was. Back on the east side as an adult and here we are I was pretty happy overall with the food and service friendly staff is always good. My Denver skillet was super good tasted like a real homecooked meal but I did find a hair in it but hey it could be a lot worse and didn't stop me from finishing it nor will it stop me from coming back.
Old school diner. Tasty grub, excellent atmosphere

Good, standard fare at this authentic "old time diner."The charm is obvious, as it's presence in the midst of a old eastside Madison neighborhood takes you back to the days when such neighborhood diners were common.Once inside, one is transported back in time as it's small, has a counter with stools, a chalkboard with the day's specials, a few tables and a friendly waitress and owner.The food is great and speedy. The owner friendly & congenial. Prices are average for a small, Madison diner.Go. It's worth it.
