Customer Reviews
Delicious diner food at fair prices served by a very friendly and attentive staff. I had a breakfast sandwich and pancakes and both were very good. The sausage patty on my sandwich was nice and crispy and the pancakes were super fluffy. The coffee was fresh and pretty good. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. The food is good and the retro stainless steel aesthetic is very fun.
Amazing. In town, looking for breakfast. This popped up, took a chance..what can I say it was amazing. Busy, and as a Englishman in New York surprised as to how busy. Got a seat at the counter ( bucket list ) and was served by friendly and attentive staff. The accent caused a bit of a stir and spent most of the time chatting to an ex Veteran. Oh and the food was amazing.
Omelette tasted OK but nothing stand out. Was a simple American cheese and spinach omelette. There is a lot of advertising in this place coffee cups, menu, and seats.
Really good diner. My Hash Attack was awesome. The pineapple pancake was delicious too. The gravy was really good and the biscuits were fresh. I’m so glad that we made it here. The service was excellent and the menu is large. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cheerful. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.
My partner and I went here for the first time this weekend for breakfast, the chicken for the chicken and waffles was dry and seasoned with Italian seasonings. Not what you would expect for breakfast 👎 The server seemed so unhappy and the vibes were just NOT diner vibes. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone trying to have an enjoyable experience. We started our day here and couldn’t wait to leave. The food was not great, should have just went to McDonald’s for a better meal that would have cost less. 🤷🏻♀️
