You will feel at home with the chill vibe.

There's 2 tables, it's meant for pickup or delivery. It comes fast, hot, affordable, and it tastes good. The wings are meh, but that's fine. Overall i'd say a solid 8/10. If you're in the area, come grab some two bros'.

Both servers had smiles at all times and didn't hesitate to meet our quirky demands. The food was overly generous in quantity and there were no complaints about it from any of us. Although the room was beginning to fill up, they did not make any effort or suggestion to get us to leave, even though we overstayed our breakfast by at least an hour. I'm sure we'll be back.

I walked i, and didn't realize it was a 'seat yourself' place, so I stood around waiting to be told to sit, and I felt a little silly. No one told me where to sit till I asked someone, and it was busy, so it took a good 5-10 min before I had a seat. When I did, I was served fairly quickly considered it was totally full! My meal was great- a nice American breakfast with an omelet, hash browns, bacon, and toast. Coffee was refilled regularly, and everyone was nice. I left full and satisfied- maybe a touch over-full. The place is fairly bare bones, and the ambiance is nonexistent, but people go here for the food and not for the scenery. I can't even remember anything about the place, except that there is a back dining room, and the one in front where the cash register is. So if you are going here for Instagram opportunities, this is not the spot for you. This is where you want to go for a nice diner style meal, and at a reasonable price.

Its a one man operation as the owner is the chef and waiter so if it fills up, you may have to wait a bit but its worth it. We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves at the time we went and the owner/chef, Jeff, was a great host with many personal stories about the history of Utica and his personal colorful past. We had his stuffed French toast which was awesome and some eggs. The coffee and tea are self serve and there are seats at the counter and a couple tables. The place only seats around 16 people but he assured us that he occasionally gets many more in there at a time. If you're looking for a great breakfast or lunch during the week (its closed on weekends) and don't need any frills, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

The kolenice telece was a tender leg of beef, which had a gentle flavor and was nicely attached to the bone in a fall-off-the-bone way. The sauce here also worked well with the rice accompanying. The bureks were slightly too dry on this particular day, but made for a decent appetizer. Worth a visit!
