I ordered an omelette and home fries. I judge a diner breakfast by the quality of the homefries and these were A+. Extra crispy, real potatoes that were nicely seasoned. Everything was hot, coffee was very good. Friendly attentive staff. Can't wait to go again.

Plenty of parking available…read moreand it is located in what appears to be an old mall that while outdated looking did appear to be full of many other businesses. This is your classic diner you would imagine when you think of spots that brings regulars in everyday. Also I must add they were decorated for Christmas to give that little extra holiday feeling, great touch. You are greeted right away by some of the friendliest staff and service is top notch. The person in our party was getting their coffee topped off long before it had a chance of being empty. Not really something you see with service quality much these days. In typical diner fashion they offer their breakfast all day during their open hours as well as have rotating daily specials. While some of the specials sounded really good, and even just their typical menu offerings sounded tasty both my wife and I ended up choosing an omelette. She ended up choosing the bacon and cheese while I got one of their loaded ones that came with sausage, onions, homefries, and cheese. Serving sizes were great and it is definitely a spot you will be leaving feeling full. While both were tasty, we have had better breakfast and omelettes elsewhere but would gladly return here again! The cheese used appeared to be American cheese slices and my wife's hash brown had an off taste from the oil used to fry it. Just a few knocks against the food to make it a 4 star review rather than 5 but minimal overall. Positively though they filled her omelette with a ton of bacon! If you are in Potsdam or the nearby area looking for a breakfast (or lunch) spot I do think this is worth your time! Some of the friendliest staff in a place with old school vibes for a good hearty meal!

It was loud as per the norm but we placed our order for two of the specials. The one special was eggs, meat, home fries and toast...with a waffle on the side...it could have fed two! The other special was hash browns mixed with ham, onions and peppers covered in melted cheese - so good and filling. By the time we left things had quieted down a bit but I'm sure another wave of customers was en route. Really appreciate that they had one employee dedicated to seating, filling coffee and cleaning up tables. Makes the whole place nicer.

I love diners. And, if my tummy rumbles, and I see one I haven't been to, I stop…read more Today brought me here, and it didn't disappoint. Steak and eggs is my go-to. The portion size is huge! 14oz ribeye, over easy eggs, toast, hash browns, and coffee. I told my server that I might need a doggie bag. She assured me I'd be fine. And, happy to say, after continually reminding myself to eat slowly and chew, I ate everything. I usually don't put sauce on my steak, but I've never seen these ones before, so I dabbed a bit of each. One of the things that I love about diners is the atmosphere. They're not trying to be something they're not. Home cooked, unpretentious food that satisfies. And, at a wallet friendly price.
