Chicken Quesadilla
Amanda D.

Took mom here for a quick little early breakfast before she goes off to the casino!! Food was great! Huge portions! Service was perfect! Staff very friendly and attentive!

Loryl S.

When I first walked into this restaurant, I was greeted so kindly and with such genuine enthusiasm. I was invited to sit wherever I liked, and from that moment on, the service was exceptional. My waitress, Diana, was truly outstanding attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She even substituted a mimosa for regular orange juice so I could still enjoy the cotton candy garnish on top "candy cloud", such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant itself is absolutely adorable, decorated with a fun, nostalgic diner vibe. I loved the classic booths, the counter stools, and all the charming photos on the walls. Diana mentioned the decorations in the other room, so of course I had to check them out and take some pictures! Everything was just too cute not to! Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the tres leches specialty waffle with two pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and two over-medium eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The waffle was so flavorful it didn't even need syrup, and the coffee was excellent, smooth, rich, and never bitter. Diana kept my cup full without me even having to ask. She truly seems to love what she does, and it shows in the way she treats her guests. I'm so happy I had the pleasure of being served by Diana today made the entire experience that much better.

They are usually pretty busy but always get the food to you quickly. The servers are very attentive. I love the waffles from here. They have plenty of seating and they have bathrooms.

Review #940 Posted on 9.30.25 We came here to eat on Sunday the 28th in between soccer games at the Soccer complex. We got sat immediately after arriving, and got a nice corner booth. The old school diner feel to this place is awesome. It's got a diner countertop in the front of the restaurant, then a dining room area with plenty of tables, a bunch to accommodate different size groups/parties. To touch more on the old school diner feel, they've got that bubble type leather seating, a jukebox (which I think was just decorative, not real, but still cool), photos of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean everywhere, and even a place you can take photos at. The many has a nice selection, you can do breakfast or lunch. Breakfast has a 2 eggs with protein type section, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. We tried a lot. Country fried steak which was good. Ham steak, Omelette, has browns, & we tried the Dubai chocolate waffle too. We'll come back for sure again when in the area for soccer.

Fast and friendly service! Enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter. Eggs, sausage and bacon were all tasty. French toast was simply two smashed cinnamon rolls. Husband ordered the turkey sausage eggs Benedict. Simple but potatoes were pretty good. Might come back for a fruity pebbles waffle but that's about it.

The Omelette was perfectly cooked...

One of the BEST Omelette I've had in a very long time. Will be back for sure. The Food and the Service is Amazing. If you're in the Stockton area, go try it. You won't be disappointed.

So yummy!

Sina was amazing! Food was awesome and the customer service was even better! The environment was very inviting and fun!

Banana Nut Caramel Waffles with eggs and sausage

Diana is the major gem at this place. Most diners offer good food and this is no exception. The flavored waffles and omelettes are worth the trip by themselves. But what distinguishes one diner from another is the staff and service. Diana is one of the best I've encountered at any diner. You would be hard-pressed to find better. I've seen her competently handle a rush that would leave another waitress panicked and overwhelmed. Another thing that helps this place is that it has a counter. For many people this can make a difference when eating by themselves. When you're by yourself, it's just pleasant. But sometimes a conversation will start with someone else at the counter. That can be a great addition to a solid meal.

Chicken n waffle with strawberries, almonds n whipped cream.
Gina G.

One of my favorites here is the chicken & waffle. I upgrade my waffle with fruit toppings & nuts and it's really good. Another one I like is the Dubai Chocolate Waffle and the Dubai Chocolate Strawberries.

Pistachio latte
H A.

Diana was an excellent server Food was delicious, so much on the menu, had the waffles before and they were great, tried the pistachio latte today was very good, wish it was a little bigger though!

If you enjoy a great breakfast. This spot won't let you down. With a vintage diner vibe. Diana is a great server and will also help you around the menu with great recommendations. You can't go wrong!

We were seated quickly and given water right away. Inside was very spacious and clean. Lots of good…read moreoptions on the menu. I got the short rib and my friend got the fried chicken Sandwich. We both really enjoyed our food! The short rib was very moist and soft. Mash potatoes were very smooth. Put waiter was very kind and attentive as well.

3 stars because of the service. I went tonight and we had a good waitress who took our order fairly…read morepromptly. However when we received our entrees I was underwhelmed. The chicken Parmigiana (house specialty) was presented on a large plate and the food only took up half of it. Was this a plating error? It truly looked like food was missing on the plate. The Rib Eye, a special of the night came in 2 large pieces and on small piece. It made no sense. It took a while to get our waitresses attention, but when we did she took it to her manager. I sent it back after asking is this how it is typically served she said sometimes it comes like that and other times it comes as one big piece. When ordering a $60 steak I expect to get a whole steak. If I was told it was done for sharing purposes maybe I would have understood it being in 2 pieces but not a third small piece. To top it off, this is for the manager on site tonight, your patrons can see your reaction. You looked pissed that I had the audacity to send it back. Then while you stood speaking with the chef in the open kitchen it again looked like a problem that I would want a whole steak. Lastly when speaking with the waitress and she leaves seemingly upset at your reaction it does not make for a good dining atmosphere. The restaurant was packed. It is homecoming weekend. Like led like some locals were there too. At the table next to us a staff member sat down with some patrons eating before going back to work tables delivering beverages. Probably on a break. I was please to see family and friends supporting the restaurant. The Chicken parmigiana with the pesto was delicious besides the poor plating. The Rib Eye once served properly was lacking n some seasoning or as my son said it tasted bland. Maybe the butter needed to be melted all over it to give it additional seasoning, but I would prefer to not eat the cold butter that didn't want to melt into the steak. Mashed potatoes were mashed potatoes. String beans were blanched and crunchy. Lots of them filling up the plate. The BEST thing we ate was the Pear Crisp! It was warm and sweet with the perfect crunch on top. The restaurant is large but reservations fill up! There was a back room that could be closed up by some drapes and a large bar area. Also in the front is a market to purchase pre cooked and portion items home. Along with sauces, ice cream, items for a charcuterie board and wine to drink in house or take it to go. To go prices are slightly lower. I would consider going back and give it an another try. The wood fired pizzas, burgers and salads looked very good. Large portions as well for those. Watching the managers reaction to my disappointment in my order truly detracted from the dining experience. He never came over to speak to us. I might be in from out of town but I do get to choose where my family dines when we are here large or small parties.
