Small mom and pop diner. Great
food. Great staffs.
Philly cheesesteak- beef was soft and flavorful.
Trash can with a lid (2 eggs over easy) – comes with spicy sausages.
Philly omelette- very good but I wish I order it with 2 eggs over easy or sunny side up instead. Loved the biscuit. Also very but but the Philly cheesesteak and Trash Can with a lid stole the thunder.
So so good, we return the next day. And I got the Trash can with a lid with both spicy sausages and Philly cheese. Yummy!

Cool little spot. The food was good nothing superb or out of ordinary. The folks were nice. We had issues with reusing butter that went to the table, was unused,and then added back to the unused butter container. Watched same waitress drop paper wrapped straws and serve them to customers. I realize this may not be an issue for some. For me I know it’s not good practice and gives me concern about what unhealthy practices might be happening that I dont see. So eat at your own risk.

Small mom and pop type restaurant. We went during breakfast. We had a great experience! The service and food were great! It’s also in a great area for walking and shopping. I had half a trash can. My wife had a ham and cheese omelette. Both were delicious. I want to go back during lunch and try a Philly cheesesteak! Definitely worth trying!

It’s a small diner with amazing people that work here. They were so sweet to my husband and I … felt like they knew us. Owner came from behind the counter to make himself known and when we left he remembered our names. I love places like this. We will be back.
The Philly-chicken was superb along with the onion rings… my husband enjoyed his meal as well. Small hole in the wall but the best customer service and the meal was amazing! ❤️

Great little hole in the wall diner in downtown Homewood. Somewhat limited seating inside, and it can get busy quickly. Staff is very friendly, though, and our food was ready in good time even at lunchtime on a busy Saturday.
Ordered the Philly cheesesteak, a burger, and a side of fruit salad. All were high quality, and the cheesesteak was especially good. Fries are crinkle cut and onion rings are battered, for those with preferences regarding those things.

A simple diner that serves well prepared, freshly cooked, simple dishes. The grits are in my top ten and if consistency prevails, will earn a medal rank. Service and atmosphere is comparable to going home for the holidays. Highly recommended for an all-American experience.
The reason I had to deduct a star is that the place could use some sprucing up.

My first Philly cheese steak. And great service from Wayne, Willie and the crew here. Highly recommend
Update: took a coworker here for lunch Fri, he agreed best cheese steak he’s ever had! If “Jack & Diane” lived in BHM, they’d get chili dogs from Wayne… way better than the Tastee-Freeze.
