I came into this establishment a bit skeptical to be honest. I am a picky person when it comes to food places ……. But it was the BEST DECISION I have made today. When I first came in, there was no one to greet us. It was only one waitress, and she was working behind the counter, Caring for multiple people. So I ask if there’s a menu I could look at and she handed me one with a smile, I sat down and begin to skim through the menu. Their prices are fantastic and has a HUGE variety of foods. The beef bacon was nice and crispy. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the home fries were absolutely delicious. I 100% found my new breakfast spot. I can’t wait to come back and try their lunch and dinner one day. My picture doesn’t show how crispy or well cooked the food was. But I swear – it was perfect.

I’ve been here some years ago . It was a very pleasant experience .
This morning around 8:30 I entered this establishment. It was clean and welcoming, there was only one person eating inside . The server Kerstin (apologies if I spelled it wrong) immediately greeted my wife and I and gave us two menus.
As I began to order she assisted me and told me to order the combo instead of ordering everything separately.
Fast forward: Food comes out in a brown bag, we pay and leave . Now normally I would check my food on the spot but I was so tired and had the bare minimum of energy.
I get home and had to change the food from the container that it was served in , my food was thrown on top of each other, the eggs were Brown, hash browns tasted like Grease and was very soggy, now to this the beef bacon . I’ve never seen or been served what tastes like plastic beef bacon . It was very hard, dry and stiff. My coffee was burnt like burnt coffee beans. I was highly disappointed and disgusted that not only would they serve someone food like that, but the amount love and effort put into my breakfast was very slim to none ! I will not be returning .

UPDATE (10/24/24) my girl and I each ordered a BLT. One w/soft bacon, and one crispy. To no one’s surprise, The kitchen personnel/chef proceeded to make two different BLTs to absolute Perfection! The accompanying fries were also incredible. This is clearly the hallmark Of people that care about what they’re doing and know what they’re doing. Thanks to Biden/Harris we were unable to offer a gratuity that was appropriate for this extremely high level of service. I know we came in at around 20% on the tip and it was still less than what we’d like to have offered compared to the service received.
This is simply a GREAT diner, GREAT staff! GREAT food! NICE BAR…. Even the regular crowd is GREAT! Just be polite, keep yourself correct and you’ll have a GREAT time! THIS IS EXACTLY THE Neighborhood feel that those of my generation sorely miss and is becoming even more and more rare
*** I am not a compensated endorser, I am enough of an A.H. to throw a place under the bus if I felt it deserved it***

The services was really good at this diner, the waiter would check on my table regularly. The food was prepared in a timely manner.
The rice was good because of the seasoning coming from the vegetables. However, the ribs we slightly tough, the vegetables were drowned in seasoning, the fries we slightly soft. I prefer my fries crispy but I love fries so it didn’t bother me.
Overall, the food was edible but the taste was not the best. I would give them a second chance since I dined at 12-1am in the morning.

Got the grilled chicken sandwich and fries… The fries were made with fresh cut potatoes but they were soaked in oil and undercooked… On the chicken sandwich I got barbecue sauce, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and pickles… The barbecue sauce tasted like something they made from scratch using steak sauce and the chicken was too juicy and soaked the bread to mush… Also the chicken breast had no flavor or seasoning whatsoever… It tasted like a mustard and steak sauce sandwich literally… That was $14 wasted

Hard to get a seat and the barmaids, always on the run. Hard for just 2 to handle. Otherwise, fricking awesome! Beautiful, clean and just homely like.

My husband loved his chopped chicken special. His pink lemonade was horrible. He referred to it as lemon water. I ordered the California Cheeseburger platter. All the toppings were a thicker cut except the onions they were shaved. The fries weren’t hot. Overall, we’re willing to try other menu items when we visit again.
