Wally, our server, welcomed us with a friendly smile & made enjoyable small talk. We ordered the cheeseburger that comes with a choice of 1 side. We chose the french fries-because of their great reviews. We were not disappointed! Light, but had a nice crisp & flavor. The angus cheeseburger was made perfectly, and was very flavorful & juicy. The melted cheddar cheese was such good addition. The man who made our food was referred to as Mr. Ian, by our server, Wally. We asked him to pass along our compliments to Ian. (I hope I'm spelling it correctly. (Pronounced Ee-an). This diner, also, serves breakfast, all day. I'm going to try the meatloaf, next time. We will, definitely, make this a regular part of our N. Wickham thrifting adventure. PS-We shopped at Angels in the Attic-really nice shop, and at the North end Goodwill. Very nice store, as well. Make it a day of shopping & try out the diner!

More than worth a long drive; it totally made our month to pay a visit to this place. Not to mention that they are dedicated to supporting local artists, with new gallery exhibitions every couple months, so do go check the place out and grab some coffee & see the art, or settle in for a lovely, satisfying meal. Great for a family or a date if you're a true foodie or art-lover/artist. Support this dear, authentic mom & pop TRUE LOCAL GEM! Melbourne needs to keep places like this alive, especially as the corporate world is making it so hard for small businesses like this to survive despite doing their very best.

I went to this restaurant a while back and actually was going pretty often. I went there the last time, and found hair in my food. the owner didnt seem to care or think it was too big of a deal and just said, oh i will get you another plate. Once that plate come back, i kid you not, the plate was caked up with grime. i told him is this what kind of food and service i get when i come to his restaurant? i told the waitress, that i wanted a refund or credit off my check cause i was not paying for it. they were nasty about it, and thought i was just finding something to gripe about. i will not ever go there again. read more

It feels like one of those diners were everyone is a regular. They have tables and chairs and it's a little crowded. They also have some bar seating. Service: you seat yourself. No one acknowledged me when I came in, so I found a waitress and asked if I just seat myself, and she said yes. A waitress come over soon after and took our order. Service was good and food came out quick. Food: I wanted to order many things from the menu. But I settled on Catfish with grits and hashbrowns. It's was ok. It kind of had an unusual batter for catfish but it was fine, but the fish was brined tasting. Definitely needs a buttermilk soak. Grits were good but a little runny for my taste... and hashbrowns were kind of bland and not as crispy as I like. So basically, everything else's good, but not amazing. My friend had meatloaf and made a big mixed pile on his plate (sorry I didn't get photo before his creation). Overall: I will be back... I think they have something I haven't found yet that is amazing. I want to try their burger and chicken friend steak when I go back.

The Greek omelet with potatoes was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right.

The Breakfast Bundle with chocolate chip pancakes was a big hit... although those pancakes disappeared so fast I'm not convinced we didn't imagine them. The food came out hot and fast (always impressive when a place is clearly busy), and the coffee and soda refills for the kids kept coming without us even having to ask. Service was friendly and welcoming the entire time. The restaurant was clean, there's outdoor seating available, and the whole place just has that "great local breakfast spot" feel.
