    I've lived down the street from this diner for 3 years and finally stopped in for breakfast--so glad I did! The food was great (eggs, bacon, toast, homefries--crispy and well-seasoned), and the blueberry waffles were super fluffy. I'm picky about homefries and hot sauce, and they nailed both--especially impressed they had Frank's. Service was quick and friendly, and I learned they have a back parking lot, which explains why it never looks busy from the front. Definitely worth a visit!

    This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but if you're looking for a good old fashioned diner breakfast with friendly fast service, I say pop on in! As with most of these types of restaurants, some updating is to be had, but that may just contribute to its quiet charm. Don't judge a book. Oh and go ahead and order some fresh squeezed orange juice.

    This place has been around for ages and you can most definitely tell why. Good old fashioned attentive service with classy music, cute decor, and good affordable food. Can't deny they they need some updates and upgrades, but overall it's a nice laid back diner that you and your families can come and enjoy. Whether you sit down with or without company it's enjoyable for everyone. There isn't many places I would feel comfortable sitting alone, but this isn't one of them. The service is a little laid back so if you like to be bothered or constantly checked on maybe this is not the place for you unless you don't mind giving a wave to your server who by the way is always visible. I personally would come back again and again.

    I was hesitant to try this place due to the bad reviews and the parking lot is always empty. I'm glad I came. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The inside is nice. My home fries were crispy as was my bacon. I got fresh squeezed orange juice which was delicious. I'd definitely go back and try something else from their menu.

    If you're in to soggy tomatoes, persistent 70s disco music, and a stuffy (literally no air circulation) outdated space, this place is for you. The staff is fairly nice, but they can only do so much with what they have. Food is bland and nothing special. In addition, they didn't have several items on the menu. I'm guessing this place survives on memories of having been a good diner a long time ago.

    The fresh squeezed orange juice is so delicious as is the omelette and hash browns. Very good food.

    Soooo disappointed. I've come in the past. Good food and service from the young waitress. Excited to bring my family and we're seated. The older waitress was not so kind. Then a large group of African Americans came in (seemed like from a group or funeral or something.) and that same waitress was SO NASTY TO THEM. I couldn't believe it. She just kept snapping at them, while the other young lady stayed so polite. Then after what seemed like 10 EXCRUCIATING MINUTES of her complaining OUT LOUD about them, they had enough and left. She then expressed how relieved she was. By that time we had finished our meal, (again, good food) but with an upset stomach and my children seeing racism up close and personal. This woman is an adult but still has a lot of growing up to do. So disappointed.

    See all
