I love Jersey diners, and this is a great one. I was visiting on Staten Island, and I found this place on the web, so I came over for breakfast.
It's just your typical Neighbourhood diner. Nothing fancy on the inside, there were workers, families, just average people enjoying a good meal. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I loved my server, Laura. Friendly, with just a little bit of "sass." just like you would expect a good diner waitress to be.
They had a very decent sized menu. I decided to go with the catfish and eggs, with grits instead of potatoes The breakfast was amazing. The portions were very decent sized. The catfish was not over breaded, it was not oily or greasy at all, and the catfish itself was so amazingly, tender and flaky. It came with a remoulade, which was creamy and tangy, and had just a tiny bit of a "zip" to it. Just enough that I noticed. It really added to the flavor of the catfish.
The eggs were perfectly over easy, giving me that wonderful "yolk action" for dipping the catfish that I absolutely love. The grits were creamy, and I believe they had just a little bit of butter in them.. The entire breakfast tasted so good.
For all that I got, the price was very reasonable. Thank you for a great meal. read more
