Loved it here. The prices are affordable. Please note they are CASH ONLY! They don’t accept cards or have Apple Pay. The Home fries were my favorite. I ordered an extra plate of that since they were so good. Omelette was yummy as well. Absolutely recommend this place.

Your classic diner, they do everything right at the price you expect, even in 2025. I was recommended this place by another diner owner in the area, saying this was their favorite joint outside of their own. I agree, and I don’t even own a diner!
I unfortunately made the mistake of getting the buckwheat pancakes my first time, and I can’t get anything else anymore. I’m hooked. If you like pancakes, please try the buckwheat pancakes here. The buckwheat cuts down on the sweetness of the standard hotcakes just enough to let the syrup shine more.
I’m a regular now.

Been here a couple of times. Went after a mid-June Sunday church service in a group of 5. The place was packed. We got lucky to find a round table in the rear. The front mostly has small tables and booths. The waitress was extremely friendly. I had the lamb gyro and it was absolutely perfect, the veggies in there, the tzatziki sauce, the way the lamb was sliced and cooked, everything was awesome. Took a while to get out food, but understandable given how busy they were. The place takes cash only. My friends had the omelettes, and liked it. I had a taste of the onion rings and they are pretty nice too. Serving size is pretty good. And total including tips and taxes for 5 people came to around 75$ which is cheap.
Went again in October 2025 in a party of 4 for lunch around 2pm on a Wednesday. Place was pretty empty, and I had the hot stuff – meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and it was great!

Very friendly atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food! I had the steak n eggs! Almost perfectly cooked, and the server was very friendly and polite! If I am in the area, I will be back!

Very good food, very good service and very good vibe. I went there on Friday noon with a friend, the sitting and ordering was fast. I ordered a blueberry pancake with eggs and sausage, and coffee. My friend ordered a omelette and coffee. We also ordered a cheesecake in the end. The total was around 40 bucks without tips. Very satisfied for the first visit:). Def would go there again!

Food was ok. Service was good, waitress was very nice. Entire restaurant was very dirty. Food, utensils, wrappers on the floor. Restrooms are located behind a swing door and as soon as you open the door all you can smell is cigarette smoke. Restroom was falling apart and dirty. Heads up, they don’t accept cards for payment, they refer you to an ATM in the foyer.

I usually don’t go out of my way to leave bad reviews, but this was truly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The only redeeming qualities about this place are the decor/classic diner feel and the Greek dishes on the menu. Prices are indeed low, but we found out the hard way that you get what you pay for.
We ate here on a Saturday afternoon during the lunch rush. It was busy, but there were open tables, and the hostess seated us quickly. Our server took nearly 20 minutes to greet us and immediately blamed our wait on the other server – saying that she was supposed to wait on us and it was her fault for our wait. We then waited another 20 minutes for two cups of soup and our server brought us the check before we had even received our entrees! We figured maybe they were just in a rush to get us out the door since apparently they close at 3 (we arrived at 1:15 for reference), but it soon became clear that she forgot we had not received our entrees. After waiting an hour and fifteen minutes we finally received our entrees – a very burnt omelette and the saddest excuse of a Reuben I have ever seen. There were 2 thin slices of deli-style corned beef on the sandwich.
Thankfully they did comp our meals, but the quality of the food and unprofessional attitudes of the servers were ridiculous. Our server took every opportunity to bash the kitchen and other servers even though she openly admitted to forgetting about our food. The other server was mad about something and cursing loudly in front of a table with children. The hostess also complained to us about being understaffed for the lunch rush before we ever sat down. It is not an exaggeration to say that every single staff member we interacted with complained about some aspect of the restaurant. Hopefully a decent management team can get this place on track because it certainly has potential.

I would love to give this place a five star review and make it a regular visit. The food is good and priced very reasonably, and the service is usually pretty fast. But the fact that they refuse to accept cards means I sadly can’t give them a perfect score. Forcing customers to pay cash in 2026 is frankly unreasonable, even if I respect the commitment to the retro vibe. There is an ATM in the restaurant, but not only will you have to endure a $1.75 service fee, but the ATM only allows withdrawals in multiples of $20; so if your check is $30 and you didn’t bring your own cash (like most people), you’ll have to pay $40, which is an extra $4 in tip. Waiting tables here must be great.

I have been to diners all over the country, and when I say this is quite possibly the worst I am not exaggerating.
Upon arrival I used the restroom, there was feces on the toilet seat, graffiti all over the stalls, walls, and mirror. If that is their standard of hygiene it’s a huge concern.
It took at least 10 minutes to even be acknowledged by someone from the waiting staff. No one in this place is attentive whatsoever.
I ordered the steak and eggs specifying for my steak to be cooked medium rare and it came it out well done. The hash browns were some of the most bland I have ever tasted.
When I asked for more coffee the waitress acted like she was doing me a favor.
The place does not accept debit or credit cards. The year is 2025.
Parking is also a nightmare.
If you are traveling to Pittsburg, do yourself a favor and skip this place. Not worth it whatsoever.

Old time diner experience. I had the meatloaf with home fries all covered in brown gravy. It was delicious. The home fries were a little crispy as I like them. Had pickled beats as included side. The were perfect, just tart enough with the vinegar. I highly recommend the diner. As of this post they were open 7am to 8pm everyday except Saturday. They close at 3:00 on Saturdays.
