Maybe you should consider people's dietary preferences and accommodations, no need to explain. Every restaurant, diner, cafe or place breakfast is served across NJ and beyond have I never been restricted with my options and needs. It's not about the cost because I pay for what I want. I got the regular order because I wanted to be respectful and that is basically what I want on the menu, my side was never received so I had it removed. The taste was actually good but after eating a quarter of one I boxed the rest and gave it to my daughter. Strike 2 was the wait time for our food, two tables after us were served and sizable meals. I ordered Pancakes and water. I ordered an omelette and a cup of coffee, horrible she said. How long do you have to wait for that 30+ minutes. Strike 3 was they seemed more focused on the turn around verses the actual service to seated customers. We weren't the only table. I've shared MY REVIEW......

Our server was super friendly and patient with us and had some good banter with our group. The food was pretty good. I liked my pasta salad and fries.

Too bad, it wasn't a good experience. The place isn't special. It's just your typical old diner. Some people like that charm, so people don't. St least, the place was clean and large enough to accommodate a group of over twenty people. The staff was friendly and did their best to serve such a large group. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. It wasn't my worst experience at a diner, but it wasn't good. My soup came in a hot bowl, but the actual dish was lukewarm. Others had it cold. That and the pasta salad were very, very bland. My chicken salad sandwich, on the other hand, was just salty. I really didn't like it. I finished it because I was that hungry. I left with a bad feeling having been full with food that just wasn't good. I wonder why my son likes this place. He said the stuff he orders were ok. He did say the their tiramisu was horrible. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. Maybe they just couldn't handle a large group at once. I dunno. Unless I am really hungry in the area and there is no other place open to eat I won't be coming back.

We experienced a short wait…read moretime, which wasn't an issue at all, but unfortunately, the service once we were seated was extremely slow. Our waitress didn't do the best job at making sure we had a pleasant experience. She was pretty inattentive, missed a few things we asked for, and rarely came back to check on us or see if we needed anything. She also wasn't the friendliest, so overall the service just felt a little off, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. As for the food, it was decent. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. Between the slow service and the food just being okay, I can't say this is somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

She wasn't wrong. My friend and I visited on a Thursday morning. A wonderful greeting as we walked in. It's quaint, charming, and no frills. My friend ordered the lemon blueberry crumble pancakes and a side order of scrambled eggs. I ordered the French toast with berries, bananas and a side of sausage. Of course, coffee. As a coffee snob, I would say it was very good. Our orders came out hot and fresh with huge portions. The lemon pancakes were plate size and with plenty of tasty crumble. My French toast consisted of four thick slices covered in plenty of berries and bananas. My sausage was cooked fresh and not sitting on a griddle for two hours. The service was excellent and friendly. You will be impressed with the creativity of the menu items. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion size. There is ample parking in their private parking lot. It was my first time there and I'll be back soon enough!

Food is OK, with vegan and GF options available. Some food items, especially the sides can be hit or miss. Ive had the cole slaw and house salad and they were not on my favorites list.
