Food was amazing! We Added a mimosa flight on to our breakfast which was fun because you get to pick any 4 flavors. We had a benny poutine, french toast with banana, and upgraded to loaded home fries. And the kids meals were a good portion of food. This was our first time here. No complaints at all and will definitely come back ! Bailey G was our server, she was great !

Our favorite diner around. Always great service and friendly staff. Yes, they are busy, thats a good thing. Have tried many menu items and they have all been delicious. They seem to be the only place that actually makes a good homefry potato also!

AMAZING FOOD AND PEOPLE service was on point and always there and place is atmosphere is awesome it is possibly my new favorite breakfast spot. Everything tasted real good and strawberries were fresh cut for the waffle it was all just perfect. And shout out to the owner for actually working and being around and helping, thats a boss.

Loved the decor. Lots of seating, even bar seating available. The menu is huge, very extensive, lots of options. The peach Bellini was very good. My partner loved the Bloody Mary. We ordered a milk flight and it was super cute. I highly recommend the breakfast corn dogs, they were delicious. The peaches and cream oatmeal was a very large portion, and also very tasty. The kids straws are bendy and fun. The French toast on the stuffed French toast was super thick, too much, which kinda ruined it for me. My partners eggs on the eggs Benedict were overcooked, so they did not have that classic runny yolk. We will definitely be returning. This new location is closer to home which is convenient.

Very busy busy place, once inside the line usually goes fairly quick It is pretty large inside... A great variety of items on the menu priced pretty reasonable... What you see here is the Waffle-Wich breakfast sandwich, bacon egg and American cheese It was very good... Other item pictured I believe was banana foster French toast also very very good.... A very friendly wait staff...
