★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Adelaide Williams · Nov 2025

Our waiter had a pretty great name. Hands off to the staff being so attentive as soon as we walked in, Agron was very polite and incredibly patient with us so he’s the only reason this review gets an extra star. We asked a couple times for extra time since the menu was so extensive. However, the food for a place that is constantly having people park across the street and walk to the diner because their parking is always so full was disappointing. We expected decent food from somewhere always packed. The French fries? Hands down great! The sandwiches barely held any meat on them, was disappointed for diner food; the soup was salty and had a strange taste, salty & sour but not super sour. It also didn’t taste like a traditional French onion, like something in the ingredients were either adde

Ordered Burger with cheese, medium hot well done. I ordered meat loaf platter. 3 very this slices of meatloaf , thinner than a slice of bread I kid you not. Flavor was ok, the spinach was good. Our waitress got our order quick gave us our food and drinks, never saw her again? Not once in 40 minutes? Never came to see if we needed anything? Or if everything was ok? It was lunch time, but not super busy? We couldn't even find her for our check? Had to finally go to the register and pay. The place was clean. The food was pricy for what you got. It was over $ 44.99 for a burger and meatloaf no dessert no refills on drinks cause waitress was MIA

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Danny Panzarelli · Dec 2025

The good! The service was very quick. The waitress wasn't very friendly but I can live with that. The place seemed clean. The BAD, the food was VERY bad. We got the tomato and mozzarella sandwich. The tomato wasn't even close to being ripe. The bread was a warmed up low quality roll. We also had the grilled corned beef and Swiss on rye. A staple for any diner. The corned beef was like rubber. I couldn't chew it and it was even difficult to cut with a knife. The French onion soup was the worst we've ever had. Another diner staple. On top of all of this, it was expensive. They took the corned beef sandwich off the check, so we only got charged for the tomato sandwich, the soup, a water with lemon, a hot tea, and a diet coke and it was $30 (tax incl) I get food is not cheap anywhere anymore

Let’s see I ordered a medium rare bacon cheeseburger. The only thing good was the fries. Then again that’s hard to ruin. The burger was overcooked. I guess it’s hard to get a medium rare burger when it’s a frozen burger. No red or pink at all and one side was charred burnt. 🤮. One small ass (meaning REALLY small) piece of cheese that wasn’t even as big as the top of the bun🤣. So it was take out. I went to pick it up and I thought the place closed down. Not a car in sit. Completely empty. So one would think the food would be good. 😊 👎. It wasn’t. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Tiny pieces of bacon. So I got there and it was already ready waiting. I got two pieces of cake…sorry slivers. What happened to this place? Their burgers were always good and filling. Cake pieces were normal. I went to Weiss and got 2 pieces

★★★★★ 5.0 Bruce White · Feb 2026

The food was fantastic. I ordered the Atlantis eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The team was also incredibly kind to my 15 month old, even during a bit of a crying spell, which I really appreciated.
