Basic decor, nice server, horrible burger and good meatballs. I came here on a whim. Lots of good reviews and slightly off the beaten path. So decided to give this place a try, see if the reviews are warranted. Outside is nothing special. It's a little worn but not majorly so. Went in and was greeted by a single server. Told me I could sit wherever and got a to-go menu. Asked for recommendations, none came to her mind. So I went with my staples, a burger with fries (sweet potato this time around), a side of meatballs, and a slice of carrot cake. As I glanced around at the empty restaurant, some of the tables had yet to be cleaned. I suspect they were waiting for the end of their day to do a full clean. Not a great sign, but I can't say that for certain. Meatballs came out quick, and were actually really good. Not tough, good ragu, not buried under gobs of cheese, little bready but seasoned. Overall a very solid start. The burger...that was a major flop. Overcooked, unseasoned frozen patty with unseasoned sautéed onions and canned mushrooms. On a lightly toasted but unbuttered bun with bagged fries. This burger was very much the chef not caring and whipping up a quick burger with long stored ingredients. This is a diner, expecting gourmet eats from a diner is not realistic. I do ask if the food is better than fast food, and that's very much a no here. With fast food, things are lighter in portion but seasoned and designed to be tasty enough. Here you get a bigger patty but it's like chewing on rubbery pebbles. Couple this with a long stale carrot cake slice with dried frosting on top, and you got the signs of a place trying to do too much with no quality. This I will say in their defense. The meatballs show that the chef, when they care and can control their product, is able to cook and cook well. If you ignore anything that is a freezer or restaurant depot item, then you will get something tasty. I highly suspect any good reviews are from items that avoid those trappings and forces the chef to actually cook. So I'm chalking this meal up to a staff that had a rough week and just stopped caring. They really need to focus on their product, make sure their basics are sound and focus their menu. If you don't have enough business to cycle through stock then reduce the menu. Limit the dessert selection, make the foods you know you can do well, and sell those. If you can't make desserts, then find the best place that can and partner up with them. For those considering going here, avoid the burgers. Aim for foods that you can't store in a freezer and you'll do well.

Breakfast w 5 friends, 4/15/24

Recently stopped in w 5 friends for breakfast. Service was excellent. Coffee, etc constantly flowed to our table. I had a Florentine (feta and spinach) omelet; others had French toast, egg white omelet, western omelets, etc. First of all, the presentation of my omelet was Picasso-worthy (suitable for framing). However, first time I ever had spinach in or on an omelet where it wasn't at least wilted. Kind of weird, to me. My grits were excellent. For me, they were the hit of the show. Overall rating is 4, which was also the average for my 5 dining partners. Also, first time I've rated them less than 5. Reasonable, good service.

"Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time" (Jefferson Airplane) We were heading home when the hunger pangs forced us to consider stopping for breakfast. But where should we stop? Well, YELP made that decision easy to make once I saw the excellent reviews for Airway. Our server Nadiye was charming, helpful and very attentive while not intrusive. Our breakfast of two omelets and two coffees ran a very reasonable $28.02. Coffees were $2.95 and Nadiye was right there with unprompted refills. An American Cheese omelet was $9.25 and came with two pieces of toast and a side. Now, Airway does sides right, because they offer quite a few -how about Home Fries, Deep Fried Home Fries, Tots, Fresh Fruit, Grits, French Fries, sliced tomatoes, and for a buck more you can splurge on Curly Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, or Onion Rings. I went with a Veggie omelet ($10.95) with rye toast and the regular home fries. Now I have to tell ya the serving plates at Airway are huge, but amazingly our orders filled up just about every square inch of that plate. My veggie omelet was loaded with diced onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. But the thing that surprised me was how great the home fries were. They were cooked on the flat top (we didn't go for the deep-fried versions) and they were so tender and delicious. The portions were huge (so we took home half of each), the service was great, and the pricing was very fair. Great job, Airway!

Lovin me the local mom & pop--especially a truly FaBuLuOuS diner!! We happened upon this newer establishment purely by chance. There are not too many good choices this close in to Bradley airport. We expected mediocre, and we got FIRE. You don't need to be headed in or out of the airport to stop in for a really great breakfast (all day!) lunch or dinner! The choices are plentiful and in large portions. Best part?! Prices are mad low for the area! This is our second time, but def NOT our last. Check it out when flying or...whenever. Give me a shout out if you do, thanks for reading me, & happy healthy yelping!

We had breakfast for six and we were all happy with our food and the service. They were able to fit us in a booth plus there are tables for larger groups. The only thing that was tough was the sound. It got so loud and we felt we had to speak loud to be heard. I wish people could just talk a little softer when out at any restaurant. But the food is consistently good and I love this place.

See all

An awesome place for dinner! We got takeout; it was a lot of food, but really good. Probably should have gotten a "mini dinner" next time.
