Delicious diner food at fair prices served by a very friendly and attentive staff. I had a breakfast sandwich and pancakes and both were very good. The sausage patty on my sandwich was nice and crispy and the pancakes were super fluffy. The coffee was fresh and pretty good. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. The food is good and the retro stainless steel aesthetic is very fun.

Amazing. In town, looking for breakfast. This popped up, took a chance..what can I say it was amazing. Busy, and as a Englishman in New York surprised as to how busy. Got a seat at the counter ( bucket list ) and was served by friendly and attentive staff. The accent caused a bit of a stir and spent most of the time chatting to an ex Veteran. Oh and the food was amazing.

Omelette tasted OK but nothing stand out. Was a simple American cheese and spinach omelette. There is a lot of advertising in this place coffee cups, menu, and seats.

Really good diner. My Hash Attack was awesome. The pineapple pancake was delicious too. The gravy was really good and the biscuits were fresh. I’m so glad that we made it here. The service was excellent and the menu is large. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cheerful. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

My partner and I went here for the first time this weekend for breakfast, the chicken for the chicken and waffles was dry and seasoned with Italian seasonings. Not what you would expect for breakfast The server seemed so unhappy and the vibes were just NOT diner vibes. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone trying to have an enjoyable experience. We started our day here and couldn’t wait to leave. The food was not great, should have just went to McDonald’s for a better meal that would have cost less. ‍♀️

The best food I have had in a very long time. The corned beef hash was perfectly crisp. The veggie fretatta 1/2 plate was fantastic. There was so much food that I needed to take half of it home. My friend had the Irish Benedict and liked it. The hot cocoa had real whipped cream. Best breakfast in a very long time. This will be a go to place when I am in the area. I unfortunately live over 2 hours away. Service was great and the price was great.

Really good food, and fast, courteous customer service. A must-stop place when in the Syracuse area. I had chicken fried steak with eggs and homefries, and coffee. Tax, tip and all was about $24. There are many options that are reasonably priced, but mine was more expensive because of the steak. I’ll go again, and bring others for a business breakfast, lunch or informal meeting. There were plenty of seats, though I was there during a weekday.

When my dad was younger, his dad owned part of this diner, so I always heard stories about them eating there. We were seating fairly quickly upon arriving and given adequate time to order. It felt like a true classic diner, with families all around and workers who had formed relationships with the usual customers. The place was very busy, so it did take a while for us to order, but our waitress did come by to apologize for the wait and let us know it would be out soon. We both ordered 2 eggs, rye toast, and home fries. My boyfriend got bacon as well on the side. I ordered my eggs overeasy, testing if they would come as true overeasy eggs or slightly uncooked, because I have unfortunately had that experience at other diners. My eggs came out PERFECTLY, I was so excited. Everything tasted perfect and it was a great breakfast to have before our drive home. I understand why my family spent so much time here and im proud to have a connection to it.
