The place is quaint. It’s been around since 1955 or 1956 I believe. The staff is always great. They treat everyone like they’ve known you for years. The food is really good diner type food and thats why I keep going back. The portions are also pretty good. If you leave hungry, it’s your fault.
I love their home fried potatoes, coffee and boysenberry syrup.

Had to edit my review here from 5 stars to 1.
The reason is because we could not use two coupons for different checks. We had our waitress separate our bill so we could use our 9$ off coupon (buy one entree, get $9 off the second entree.) We ordered 4 entrees. Our waitress Debby said there’s no way to use our second coupon on the 3rd entree because we are all on the same table and her manager will see. The reason why we came to this establishment is so we can enjoy good food, enjoy a good atmosphere , as well use 2 of our coupons. Unfortunately we only used 1 coupon.
5 star review back in 2023:
The sweet potato pancakes are so good, I highly recommend it!
Really good hash browns, bacon, and ham slices.. the sausages were kind of spicy and oily. The sunny side up eggs were also really runny.

This place has been around for 50 plus years. They keep it clean and well maintained. The food is good and plentiful for a decent price. Service is polite and friendly. The sandwiches are perfectly done and the fries were extra crispy which I personally really liked. I like to support local businesses when possible and this one is worth it.

We came back for the food and to see Gayle… she remembered us! She’s engaging attentive and what a sense of humor!
The food served are healthy portions at great prices and there are so many options. Definitely try the sweet potato pancakes.
The restaurant is clean & bright. I haven’t seen that much seafoam green and mauve paired together since the 80s.
I’ll be back for all of it!

With money being so tight I’m always on a look out for a good deal. Eating out is becoming more of a luxury and often am disappointed. I will say my first time here and I will recommend! Service was excellent and very welcoming, prices are reasonable and would recommend breakfast here! I’m looking forward to coming back in the future and trying the fish fry.

The host/server/waitress, Debbie (hope I spelled that correctly), was very hospitable and kind. They had a very 50’s diner atmosphere as well as decor. Had lots of old pictures of San Diego and Delmar, which was a trip down memory lane. I got the AYCE Fish and chips which was cooked nicely! Only complaint that I have was that the coleslaw taste a little old. But other than that, the food was great for a very great price! I will definitely be going back there again.

Our server, Rene is an awesome waitress! Even the ladies at the counter were super helpful and attentive! our breakfast arrived fast, which was much appreciated bc my dad was on a tight schedule.
I come for the sweet potato pancakes with powered sugar (no syrup), country potatoes with (sautéed onions and peppers) and scrambled eggs, with a coffee (bring your own hazelnut creamer). This is what I order every single time
The food is fresh, served hot and my cup is never empty.
On Saturday mornings the parking lot is full, but I never have to wait for a spot.

Great place for breakfast or anytime.
Not too many restaurants like this are still around. Very clean, comfortable, good food, nothing fancy, bring the whole family and grandma too. Debbie was my server, sweet and delightful. There is plenty of free parking.

A classic dinner feel straight out of the 50s with some exceptional customer service.
The location is one of those forgotten spits every one drives past and doesn’t even notice it.
Before Dennys and IHOP took over this is the style and actual place for a breakfast Diner.
The inside would be a great film location for a period piece. They even have some original dishware and appliances. The atmosphere is straight 50s maybe 60s amd original design. They do have a lot of pictures all over most of which does not contribute to the atmosphere and seems to jest be there.
The food,
the pancakes are typical but pretty good.
Philly cheesestake sandwich was surprisingly good.
Service is where thos place really shined. The sole waitress/hostess/busser, was way busy servicing everyone but still made everyone feel important.
I would say the downside is the menu is so massive it makes ordering hard.
If your looking for a classic look andbdont want to support the mass market dinner of IHOP or Dennys give this place a try.
