Hearing this diner was a hidden gem in Solon I knew I had to try it. I saw so many good reviews and…read morewanted to experience it with my family. The diner is super tiny like really tiny. I was surprised how small it was but it gives it personality. I like it! This diner has been open for over 60 years and it has an old jukebox machine and other vintage decor that really transports you back in time and gives you a unique, fun experience! The service was fantastic!! All the staff were so nice and attentive the entire lunch. Everyone that works there seems so happy and it's definitely a family vibe. This diner is really unique and special and I can't wait to come back again. The food was amazing and portion sizes were excellent. Food service was quick and chef was singing songs it was fun to watch! It puts you in a good mood just sitting inside. The only complaint I have is that the vent in the ceiling does have dust on it and the fan was running so it needs to be cleaned down up there but honestly I really don't have anything but positive to say about this hidden gem, Jim's open kitchen!

Been to this location many times and it's just crazy to witness this chain's transformation from…read moredown to earth, hometown, low-priced local spot to deliberately "rustic" bougie, high-priced hipster brunch spot. Can't beat the convenience of the location with ample parking. Solon has other brunch spots but it's always super crowded and busy on non-holiday weekends. The wait time can be kind of crazy and the pay up front method is the bottleneck. I'm waiting for the host/hostess to seat people, take reservations AND take payments...yeah, no wonder the line move slow as molasses... The presentation of the dishes always look so fresh and appetizing and their menu items are trending more fruit and vegetables included so I like that. Their basic breakfast plates are so stingy with the meat though! You pay $14 for ONE measly little sausage link. Granted, it's delicious but for goodness' sake, can you sneak 1 more in?! I promise it won't subtract much from profit margins...

I had a pear martini from the happy hour menu which was dynamite. Followed it with a GF pizza with artichokes, spinach and roasted red peppers. You could tell everything was fresh. My typical go to places are ones like this that do that "something unique" to a standard dish. We will be back!!

Time for an update. Came here for lunch. Note that this location is closing. June 1st is their last…read moreday at this location. They are moving to their other location in Bedford as an expanded location. That out of the way. I still live this place. Good prices. Large portions. Fast courteous service. All the things you want in a diner. Strictly Bfast and lunch. But they do have dinner entrees you can order stuffed cabbage and fish dinner as well. Specials too. And bfast all day which I highly recommend. Pancakes are soooo good. Today I got the buffalo chicken wrap with grilled chicken, with fries and cup of soup. The soup, chicken noodle was hot at the table. That's how soup is suppose to come to you hot! The buffalo chicken wrap was grilled and full of ingredients. Large portions and great lunch. Lots of people for a Thursday afternoon. People ordering all types of Bfast and lunch foods. Typical diner look with booths and tables. Good place! Check it out till june1 then go down the road to Bedford and see them there too.

We moved out of Solon some years ago and made a special trip out today. We were unaware this…read morerestaurant changed ownership, but should have surmised something was a miss as the resturant was empty. Unfortunatley, the experience wasn't what it used to be. Under the previous owners, the food and service were consistently excellent, which is why we made the trip. The selections have been drastically cut. The quality has noticeably declined. The food lacks the flavor and care it once had, the prices are higher and the service feels less attentive. It's disappointing to see such a great place lose what made it special. I hope the new management can make improvements, but for now, it's just not the same experience we used to enjoy.

Stopped in right as happy hour began which is from 3-6pm during the week. I haven't been here in…read moreover a year and last time it was for brunch, which I enjoyed. Overall, I had a good experience- however the items I got were partially bland or just average. Let's get into it: Drinks: my girlfriend got a smoked old fashion and I a skinny margarita- both were amazing! Their signature cocktails are only $8 during happy hour (only the old fashioned) and I love a great deal! Service: By far my favorite part of the experience. When we visited there were only a few other patrons but our waiter was informed, attentive, anticipated needs, and popped up at just the right times which I think is so important to keep the conversation and service going Food: I could have ordered the house salad and nothing else- it was DELICIOUS!!! I asked if the house dressing came in a bottle I could buy. I'm a salad girl and a great simple one is something I look for. I got the avocado ranch flatbread which was on happy hour and the elements were there but just not well put together. I ate two small squares and declined to take any home. My girlfriend got the steak frites - the cut of meat just wasn't great which could be a sign of our food issues as Americans idk. The tater tots weren't described as a n abstract form and came looking like some sort of popper with very little potato I would stop back in for drinks easily and the salad.
