The place is so small, clean, and cozy. It was absolutely packed and I was informed there was an estimated wait around 20 minutes. Luckily I decided to wait. The waitresses had their hands full but didn’t struggle at all to keep up. The wait didn’t seem to be quite as long as expected. I was served my coffee as soon as I ordered it. I waited about 10 minutes for my food. I had the 2×4 which is 2 pieces of French Toast, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, and two eggs. The food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this little diner!

They have excellent burgers and their open faced hot turkey sandwich meal was just what I was looking for: plenty of well made gravy, delicous sides and the meat itself was so tender and flavorful.
I just wish they delivered or allowed a delivery service to.

Dropped in again today and had freshly made Pork Pie, Beans & Eggs for the special. Fantastic. And I dont think i mentioned in my original review, that the value for money here is excellent, prices are so reasonable for proper portions. Hard to beat. Staff again friendly and smiling.
In a post-industrial neighborhood of Sanford, this place has all the hallmarks of a good diner, quirky name, people waiting for a table, a narrow space to squeeze into..I had only about a 2 minute wait and everyone after me had slightly more but it is Saturday morning….so firstly the service team was friendly, efficient and had a sense of humour. No waiting and my order was in. I had the Italian Omelette which has hot sausage, green peppers, onion and provolone. It was prepared properly (not some giant folded frittata) and had just enough heat in the sausage without being overwhelming. They offer home fries as either deep fried or on the griddle. I opted for my preference off the griddle and they were crispy enough and tasty enough. Coffee was also good. I like this little place a lot, they have outdoor seating and as soon as Maine has a weekend without rain, I’ll be back. So far, in York County, this is the best I’ve found in the diner category!

I have a rule that when I travel I always try to eat local. No big chains. And boy was I glad I found this gem. I knew it was going to be good when I walked in and saw a bunch of what appeared to be regulars. I was right. The menu is wonderful. I got the Chicken Ceasar Wrap with Onion Rings. It was everything I could want in a wrap and the rings were delicious. My friend got the breakfast burger and lord was I jealous. He said it was perfect. Service was wonderful. Very friendly and felt like I’d known these people forever. Next time I’m in the area I’m definitely coming back to try that burger!!

I absolutely love their food. We get dinner and take out frequently and it is always perfect. The BLT burger is one of my faves. There’s plenty of veggies that are fresh and lots of bacon. Nothing is more annoying than getting a burger with unripe tomato, gross lettuce or just one piece of bacon. I never get any of that from third alarm. Their chicken is great, all the sandwiches we have tried have been delicious, in fact I cant think of anything I had there that wasnt amazing.
Its easy to pass by this place and not notice it but I urge you to give them a try if in the area! You will not be disappointed!

Again and Again the breakfast is the best. The staff is well trained to get the food to your table and quickly. They ask you real questions. With meaning.

Small diner with quality food and great service. The prices are very reasonable, maybe even cheap by today’s standards.

If we can, we come here for a meal 2-3 times a month. Delicious greasy-spoon food, delightful and engaging servers. However: in colder seasons, not a lot of seating available inside. Also, smallest bathrooms you’ve about ever been in. But we absolutely love it here.

This is a cozy restaurant with excellent food and drinks. They have some of the best adult hot chocolates and coffees that I’ve had. It is a little cramped and there is nowhere to wait if the tables are full. That being said, people come and go fairly quickly so unless it’s peak time the wait is either nonexistent or minimal. The staff are very friendly. Have never had a problem yet.
