This spot has been on my "I should try that someday" list for a few years, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally made it in. The first thing that surprised me was how much seating they offer. The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

The energy level of the restaurant is joyous, a genuine place where people gather to meet old friends and connect with family.

I always enjoy supporting local businesses like this, and this spot is a solid choice for a hearty breakfast.

There was still a decent amount of people and full tables though, just not crazy like at other times. Our server was friendly and everything moved pretty quickly. I tried the seasonal/special pumpkin something cold brew to drink and it was okay - a little bitter and not as pumpkiny or sweet as I expected. For food, I ordered the chicken and waffles and my friend got the Megs American Breakfast Burrito. The chicken and waffles came on top of sweet potato mash, which if I read the menu would not have been such a surprise haha. Thought it was just kind of random, but it worked. Im not sure when this location opened but I think this is a great spot for The Friendly Toast. There are plenty of options for parking, but it can be difficult to get the "good" spots. The food was good and came out quickly. It had good flavor... and the service was good. I do think it is a little pricey for breakfast/brunch food, but part of it is the experience of the friendly toast. They all have fun, unique elevated diner-esq styles and vibes.

My late…read moreSunday morning visit had stress potential due to a line, but they banged it out effortlessly and I was seated in no time. Typical nostalgic decor with entertainers of the 1950s, keeping with the diner's name. -- Patty Melt: This is the reason I came, as I'm searching for great ones, and theirs is right up there. American cheese (a little outside the standard Swiss), choice of bread (I went marble rye), and optional add-ons (I chose grilled onions, which you'd think would be standard). Excellent execution. Griddled bread with just enough butter, just enough crunch, and no sogginess. Beef soft, with a loose grind, cooked to a juicy medium rare, and with nice beef flavor (too many diner versions use stiff, el cheapo patties; this was quality sourcing a couple steps up). And melty cheese and soft onions complementing while letting the beef sing loudest. No one ingredient was artisanal-level premium, but every aspect was handled beautifully. -- Fries (included with the Patty Melt): Alas, the dreaded "coated" kind, an obvious frozen product. Hot, crisp, and plentiful, so it could've been worse. No biggie; the patty melt was good enough for this not to matter. I can't emphasize enough how well-run the place is. The friendly veteran servers move like clockwork and could easily drop a "honey" on you with every interaction, but that would merely add a delay. Instead, they show their dedication with sincere smiles, initiative, and time-learned precision. It's a joy to behold. Normally I'd hold off on a 5 based on such a small sample size, but the food and shakes I saw going out all looked good, and that service excellence cliched it.

The menu hasn't changed except for the price. It's only risen a small percentage but, it's a big mistake to make money over feeding People. Almost $14.00 for 3 eggs and meat is too much, really. A coffee is $2.85..... The servers are young girls that seem to be lacking the "service" part of their job. Is it Me or just the norm ?
