    Peaches and Cream Waffle
    Jenna W.

    Incredible classic diner in the area! It gives you a welcoming and casual vibe the moment you walk in. We were sat immediately even with it being Sunday, which I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is full of all your classic breakfast options, along with a few choices to add even more flavor to a simple dish. I ordered the Peaches & Cream Waffle. It was incredible! Not only was the waffle giant, fluffy, and flavorful all by itself, but the homemade whipped cream and warm fresh peach slices on top made this dish so satisfying. It felt like a comforting reminder of a homemade meal that had care in the kitchen. It was very filling too with at least a whole peach sliced on the plate. It honestly didnt need maple syrup, but the syrup was delicious too and didnt make the waffle too sugary. Definitely recommend stopping here to treat yourself to breakfast!

    I have been coming here for a while now, with a visit at least every other month. Staff is always amazing and service is always great. Food has never once disappointed me, always delicious flavor! A great diner to visit for quick delicious food

    We had a wonderful lunch here. Service was good and so was the food. This "diner" restaurant serves breakfast and lunch now. They used to also serve dinner but cut back hours and changed the menu a bit after covid. My husband opted to have a breakfast dish -- the waffle combo and added sausages. He said it was great. His waffle was pretty large -- taking up the entire plate. The waffle was light and airy. He got scrambled eggs which came on a separate plate. They were fluffy. And he added sausage links which they did well done per his request. They gave him two syrups from which to choose -- one was sugar free. He used the regular maple syrup pretty liberally (he likes to fill all the waffles holes, eek!). I debated between a sandwich and a salad and chose the salad. The fatoush salad was excellent. It had a grilled chicken breast on top that was cut into strips. The salad itself had chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, and crispy pita chips mixed throughout. It also had a very compatible seasoned dressing on everything. It was a delicious and way too large portion. I took about a third home for later. Forgot to say that I added a side of well-done french fries. I was curious about the middle eastern dishes listed on the menu, so I asked. The family is Lebanese. They had more of these items on the menu when they used to serve dinner. And they are house made. Can't wait to come back and try their shawarma or their hummus among others. It's a diner with an "extra benefit" as I love middle eastern cuisine. Oh, and PS: There is an actual person, Penelope. I asked about that, too. If you look closely at my inside tables photo, you'll see a little girl. That's Penelope.

    My daughter and I were in the mood for diner food so I Googled some of the top rated diners that were on our home and stumbled across Penelope's. We were greeted and seated immediately as we walked in and the establishment was clean, decor is well, what you would expect from a typical diner setting. Our food came out quickly and they catered to me with an item that they don't typically sell Al La carte, a potato pancake. I'm glad they did because it was pretty amazing and was told they make it in house. They do have a potato pancake Benedict item that sounds really good but I was more in the mood for a simple turkey club at the time, but I know what Im getting next time. Overall, food and service was fantastic, and price is fair. They were all super friendly and attentive, ended up finding out they're family owned and ran. You could tell they're proud of what they're doing. Definitely recommended and to support your local small business!

    OMG!!!! Hands down one of the best diners I have been to in a very long time, the current review is inaccurate. I'm sorry about it putting a before picture of food haha but it was delicious and the OJ is fresh squeezed so amazing. The syrup is warm and yummy. The service is great Ava was an amazing Waitress and I also love the vibe in this little cozy place, definitely family owned and worth it to come and eat here. My wife enjoyed it all as well . Will be coming more and more. Especially with being 5. Minutes away. The hours are perfect 8-3 as a diner like this should be. PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT.

    Great for breakfast and lunch. My omlette was stuffed and enough for 2! The tuna melt included caramelized onions, yummy. The lamb/pita was a little less than expected but seemed high quality and tasted great. Food comes out fast and together. We had to request ice tea refills. The place always seems clean.

    Biscuits and gravy, no sausage!

They are known for the brisket they smoke on the daily. They are a scratch kitchen restaurant so fairly popular with the locals. The casual nature of the restaurant itself along with the friendly staff make for a relaxing visit. Our server was Martha and she was a lot of fun! Hubby had the Açaí Bowl, my friend had the Smoked Brisket Melt, and I had the Chicken and Waffles. While the other two thoroughly enjoyed their meals, I was disappointed because they described the waffles in my dish as Belgian. If you know what a real Belgian waffle is, you would be disappointed as well getting a regular waffle that's just fluffier than normal. I dislike when restaurants do this - these are not Belgian waffles. The only redeeming quality is that they serve the dish with strawberry butter. Sounds weird but the taste was excellent. If you do stop by, keep in mind that the portions are fairly large so prepare to take some home with you or split a dish.

The vegetables sandwich that I ordered had so much oil but fortunately the bread soaked up some of it, so I just discarded the bread. My wife's salad with fish was very good. Also, the fruit served with my sandwich? Just perfectly ripe and enjoyable. One of the things that cracked me up here, being a laid back Texas boy, was over hearing all the incessant, noisy, nasal New York Jewish ladies whining, commiserating and ruminating with each other at the other tables. That was entertaining. I had thought about asking about the homemade desserts but the staff was slammed I guess cause no one came around to check on how things were going and if we needed anything else. Just as well. Counting calories. My tipping default would normally be 20% but today... not sure what I will leave lol.

A great value (before 11:30 weekdays) is the $8.95 egg breakfast which includes eggs your way, toast, potatoes and fruit.

Ample indoor and outdoor seating is available.

If you're ordering it as it's intended ( for an appetizer... ) share with a large group. When I went, we were just a party of two so we pretty much filled up on it, but it was so good. No one was complaining! In terms of entrées, their eggs that come with this cheesy hash brown casserole is so good. Strawberry and cream basil French toast also really good... to me, it probably didn't need the basil, as that can be a bit bitter- although it sounded great but I didn't love it... But still a really good dish. However, what happened to me there was the waitress dropped a drink on the floor which splashed up all over me. She right away got me some napkins to clean myself off and while I wasn't thrilled, it happens, whatever. I didn't think too much of it. But then the manager comes over and could not be more apologetic. She kept asking what she could do for us... And ended up, taking off our appetizer from the Bill which I thought was very nice of her. I left there so stuffed and will definitely return because it was great food and a good experience - even though I left smelling a little bit like a bar. 100% worth it!

I would definitely come back again and highly recommend stopping in for happy hour.
