Ok, this may be my favorite local breakfast and lunch place! You can pretty much seat yourself and…read moreenjoy a visual dining experience. I swear I see someone I know each time I go in there which is pretty cool! The servers feel like my cool aunt or cousin who just happens to bring me yummy food. Yesterday, hubby and I grabbed a quick lunch. I had a tuna wrap and he had an overflowing egg salad sandwich. Both served w/ potato salad, pickle and chips. You can upgrade to fries, but the chips are good! Big portions, so we had 2 meals! This morning we were driving by Lidia's on the way to cut a Christmas tree (btw, their decorations made it even more cozy) I picked up the Lidia's classic which is an English muffin with crispy Taylor ham, egg and cheese. SO GOOD! Hubby got the same but in a omelette w/ home fries and toast while my daughter got the short stack of banana and walnut pancakes.

When we pulled into Lidia's parking lot for brunch this past Sunday, I realized that this is the…read moreold Polo Sports bar before it moved to its new location. The inside hasn't changed much, but I like the ambience of this breakfast/lunch spot. My wife and I both went for pancakes, mine blueberry, hers banana. Pancakes were delicious! Plenty of seating here and a large parking lot. Good spot if you're in the area looking for breakfast or lunch.

Very excited to have a new and excellent quality sandwich shop in the area! Went today for the…read morefirst time and really enjoyed what we ordered. The space looks great and the service was fast and very friendly. It was around 1 PM, so we stuck to lunch sandwiches, but can't wait to return for eggs sometime soon. We ordered a "Jane's", which was a chicken filet with pesto, special sauce, burrata, roasted red peppers and more. Very tasty and good proportions where the pesto didn't overwhelm the other flavors. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with vodka sauce and mozzarella, which was also excellent. Looking forward to returning!

They do not skimp on it- lots of cheese, eggs, and ham on a large fresh round roll. Delicious! This sandwich beats out Bill's Luncheonette across the street so go try it for yourself Service - fast, friendly and attentive staff that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. They are very quick on fulfilling orders. Much faster than Bill' Luncheonette so if you in a hurry then this place is a slam dunk. Ambiance- nice and clean inside. It is not so much an eat in place as it is a deli but it does have stools and a bar along the front to eat inside if preferred. More suited for take out orders. Definitely my #1 go to place for breakfast to go in the area! Try it and prove me wrong

It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

My wife love their homefries she kept saying how good it was. My son devoured the bacon. I wonder if they use farm raised eggs because they taste better than whatever I get from the store.

I ordered eggs with corned beef hash well done.... When the hash finally came out it looked like the put it uncooked on the plate and brought it 10 minutes after the brought the rest of my food ... I sent it back told them to forget it. The waiter then told me it was because they ordered a new brand..... apparently this new brand can't be cooked properly and won't come out the same time as your food... Drinking my coffee, I get to the bottom of the cup and there is a hair that looked like a pube at the bottom of my cup.... I now show it to my waiter who tells me just leave and crumples up my check.... Customer service sucked and food was subpar... I am so grossed out and we won't be back.... This place has gone downhill fast..... Had the proper customer service been given in the restaurant I wouldn't have bothered writing this review but the way I was told to leave because they are dirty, I decided to write this review.

We were looking for somewhere to eat after visiting a local farm and this place was perfect. An older Ukrainian woman was cooking and doing a great job. My husband had the chicken pot pie and I had the stuffed cabbage, both delicious! And then the chef sent out a corncake for us to try (never had one before). We live an hour away, but I can't wait to go back and have those corncakes! The place is small and very quiet so you're aware of everyone in the room and there's actual conversation instead of people looking at their cell phones. Great experience, really nice people. Felt like we were in someone's home, welcomed and well fed.

The inside has 6 tables and about 5 stools at the counter. They have scrapple! My favorite breakfast meat (more of a mystery meat). I had scrambled eggs and scrapple with rye toast that came with home fries and my husband had eggs, toast, and home fries. We split the FAMOUS corn cakes. They are everything I dreamed they would be and more. Sweet, fluffy, but also melt in your mouth. They're almost better than regular pancakes. So stinkin good.

Today, my fiancee and I were in the middle of our breakfast after being there for no more than 25 minutes. There was still food on my plate and my coffee cup was full. A waitress came over in an abrasive and rude tone "You know, we have a line outside. School is off today." I was absolutely appalled, and we left without finishing my food or coffee. When we walked out, no one was waiting for a table and no one was outside. I have no idea what this woman's problem is or why any business would think that it's appropriate to admonish customers to eat faster, but I will never ever be coming back here and I will make sure to share this experience with everyone in the area.

We ordered the cornbread special, the porchetta sandwich special, and the biscuits and gravy. Everything was fresh, filling, and delicious. The porchetta sandwich was flavorful, though I personally found a few pieces a bit fatty with some skin, which wasn't my preference. The biscuits and cornbread on the other hand were fantastic! I also loved the cozy setup inside and the fun idea of having games to play while you dine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better! 4.5!

These days,while I appreciate the attempt in making the interior more inviting (think Mid-Century modern vibes), this is "order & pay at the counter" type of service,with significantly reduced menu options (mostly sandwiches), and given the pricing the food itself wasn't satisfying unfortunately (we had Falafel wrap and Pren Burger,both of which I would probably have done much better at home-lacking flavors overall,plastic dishes,falafels were basically mashed chickpeas). As for recommending to others,I'd say this may still be worth a stop for a coffee and maybe a boardgame sitdown-definitely don't expect amazing food :/ Overall,since my priority when eating out is food,I'm disappointed and not returning,sorry..!
