Reviews
Food: I did really enjoy the linguica sausage but the rest of the plate was pretty plain when considering the price point.
Service: Past the friendly greeting when we came in, we felt like unvalued patrons. There wasn’t a wait to get seated but the waitress still took over 5 minutes to come to our table. When they did it felt like they were trying to use as little time as possible with us. We weren’t offered waters or refills on our coffee and the waitress turned her back on us as I was still talking to her asking for the check. This is far from the hospitality I was hoping for from such a long standing restaurant. What hurt the most was seeing friendly prompt service all around us for other patrons.
Atmosphere: The restaurant interior was clean and suited the old diner vibe, but the exterior was seen better days. Unfortunately, it could only have been made charming by friendly staff and warm service which we did not receive.
My omelette was absolutely delicious. They were out of basil for the tomato basil special, but they were super accommodating and let me swap in another veggie at no extra cost — I chose broccoli, and it was no problem at all. The chicken apple sausage was also a standout — flavorful and cooked perfectly.
Portions here are massive! We definitely needed to-go boxes. The pancake was about a 3/5 — fair and fluffy, maybe a little mediocre, but still tasty and satisfying.
Our server was great — friendly and attentive. The atmosphere inside is amazing with a fun retro vibe. I’d suggest they spruce up the outside area a bit to make it look more inviting, and the women’s bathroom could definitely use a fan or some AC — it was way too hot in there.
All in all, great food, good service, and a place I’d recommend with just a few small fixes.
Diner feel. Perfect for the family breakfast. Sat quickly and order was placed. Menu didn’t have too many options but allowed for quick ordering. We had a little of everything.
Eggs Benedict hit the spot. I didn’t really like the tang in the sauce but the eggs were cooked perfectly and the French fries were fresh and amazing. Kids had beacon, eggs, sausage and pancakes. Food came out fairly quick and in good size portions.
Would definitely recommend this location for breakfast.
The atmosphere itself is also a must experience, with the old-school diner feeling mixed with a diverse and unique customer base. From the counter where you mingle or a booth where you can rest with your company. It provides a perfect space to just exist with your friends and family easily.
Price wise is great, with large portions and a varied menu. Food is always fantastic!
