11/8/25 first time here.
I had the special smoked benny – lox & eggs on an English muffin with H sauce. It was good. A little messy but that’s ok.
When the sunlight hit my plate, i noticed a lot of fingerprints on it… Strange… I hope it was clean and not reused.
The GF had the lumberjack with pumpkin pancakes and turkey sausage (small upcharge) she liked it.
Coffee was good, service was good.

Great diner I have enjoyed over the years. Breakfast is always a good option. Portions are generous. Clean and great service. Highly recommend to one and all.

You can’t do much to mess up eggs… They were decent, but what was really good was the strawberry cheesecake.
I didn’t want to order it because it looked so sugary and sweet.But it wasn’t at all, the glaze was not sugary, and the strawberries were fresh, juicy and cold.
The cheesecake tasted delectable, but it was not heavy.
It was just fantastic.

Went for lunch on 1/28. Ordered the turkey BLT and the new grilled chicken, bacon avocado sandwich with ranch and bbq sauce. Both were very good and as expected.
The shortfall was the Matzo ball soup. Came out with literally no flavor. The broth was like something out of a can (I’ve had better canned broth) and bright yellow. Nothing to add extra flavor, I guess gone are the days when it had celery, carrot and onion included, at least here.

On January 15th, 2026, I dined with a colleague. My colleague ordered the hamburger, while I selected the Chicken Palermo, accompanied by mashed potatoes and soup. Unfortunately, the Chicken Palermo was unsatisfactory. Its flavor profile suggested it was a lightly reheated frozen item, and the chicken itself tasted as though it had been frozen for an extended period. I consumed less than half of the dish due to its unappetizing quality. My colleague consumed only a single bite of their burger and subsequently left the remainder, opting instead to eat only the fries. I did not inquire as to their reasons for not finishing the burger.

Waiter seated us and gave us special menu items with pictures. I was with my father so it was easier for him to understand as he doesn’t speak English fluently. Very friendly service as well and gave us recommendations which we ended up ordering thanks to him. We had a steak dish ‘The Brazilian’ and it was very delicious. I feel that this is a hidden gem and would come back again!

This is my go to diner in my area. I adore the owner Steven, his brother, and family. Service is great I especially love Pavlo and Alfredo. I had the body builder omelet today. Nice portions, consistent food quality, and strong coffee ☕️

It was a wonderful experience of early day dining, on crisp Tuesday morning. I arrived at 09:30 am with a vast amount of available parking; I was parked, ate, and paid in under 30 minutes. I was welcomed with a fresh, new looking building that contained an opened floor layout plan with high ceilings. My server Juneta was professional and friendly when taking my order. I was recommended the pastrami and swiss omelet which did not disappoint. My coffee with decent and a large glass of orange juice came to wash it all down. It’s no wonder this location has over 1,000 reviews on Google. I finished it off with a deliciously decorated cheesecake that was soft, fluffy, and semi-sweet to the taste. I would highly recommend this location to any individual or group looking for a nice bite. I would have loved to have coffee that was a bit stronger, and the omelet would have been excellent if the cheese was a bit more melted. An overall 5-star dining experience with no complaints!

A few weeks ago my friend and I decided to dine at this establishment, she ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki. My friend specifically told the waitress please do not add mushrooms and peppers to it. The waitress said ok no problem even though she barely spoke English. I then repeated it to her and she said she wrote it down. When she came back with my friend’s order there were mushrooms and peppers on it! We both asked her why when we specifically said there was supposed to be none and she proceeded to say “Well that’s how it comes” I then flagged down a “manager” and asked if what we asked was out of the ordinary and he said “well you can have it with or without the peppers and mushrooms, it was a mistake on the waitress’s part”. So then I said what’s the resolution? He just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Very unprofessional and some of the waitresses SHOULD LEARN ENGLISH and be trained properly! Won’t be going back!!!

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Prices a touch higher than typical diner. Delicious pastry items. This visit I had one of their lunch specials; brisket with a potato pancake and yummy lobster bisque soup. The brisket was covered with gravy and was melt in your mouth good. Update-11/2/19 had the Panini Triple crown with pastrami & turkey. Both meats made fresh, tender and delicious. Chicken soup was rich and flavorful. Service by Donna was excellent. Parking can be a problem during lunch and dinner hours.
