    Prices - Great! Menu - Huge selections of food!!!!! Service - Outstanding!!! Parking - Good Bathrooms - Clean Decor - Clean and in good repair (dated but classic diner) Food Preparation - Hit and miss. Coffee - Very Good! I had the sirloin steak & eggs for $15 that came with hash browns and toast. I ordered the steak medium rare but it came out medium well. That was okay enough but something about the quality of the meat made it very tough. The eggs were order over easy. One egg came busted with a hard yolk. Oddly, the sourdough toast seemed off somehow, maybe stale? When in server brought the steak, she heavily encouraged the use of steak sauce (A-1) and also brought another. The hash browns were very good. Thankfully she brought the sauce because it was otherwise not good at all. We found it to be funny that she encouraged the use of sauce, until I got the steak. My friend ordered the corned beef omelette and he had no complaints. They added cheese to his omelette for an additional 90 cents. Coffee was $2.40. While my breakfast was subpar, I still do think this is a good place that just had an off day on my order.

    Found a roach leg in my water and almost threw up.

    Found a roach leg in my water and almost threw up. I complained to the waitress about it and she said "well you know it happens". Still made me pay for the meal, they only took off the cheapest item from my bill and it was the pancakes. This was my first and last time coming to this place. Neither the managers nor waitress apologize, no I'm sorry nothing.

    Cute diner and friendly employees. The food was ok, a bit plain. It did the job since we were from out of state and fresh off the airplane.

The restaurant itself is huge. The entrance side has seating and the largest side is all dining area. There is even seating outside. With this much seating and what clearly looks to be expansion, I expected top notch food. As I looked over the menu, I noticed they had a biscuit and homemade sausage gravy and for $4 more, they will add fried chicken. I order and chose hash browns since the waitress (who was very good) suggested it. Additionally, I chose to go with scrambled eggs. The massive plate of food came out and I was a little stunned. It was when I took a bite that all hope disappeared. I started with just a bit of biscuit. Not a biscuit. I am not sure what it was, but that is not a biscuit. Maybe a pancake made with biscuit batter? Next, I tried the biscuit with the sausage gravy. My brain had to pause for what it really was. Why is the sausage gravy sweet? Maple syrup? Where is the spice? What is going on? Then I tried the three together: biscuit, sausage gravy, and fried chicken breast. I am so glad they provided a steak knife to cut it because it was so tough and not worth the $4. The hash browns had no flavor (likely from a bag) and the scrambled eggs were definitely coming from a carton. The eggs had that weird texture eggs shouldn't have.

    We visited to celebrate our anniversary here with our little and had a great time. The staff was…read morereally attentive and were so friendly. To start I ordered a mocktail, it was a bit too sour for my taste but a good refreshment for summer. My husband got an old fashion and said it was good. For our apps, we shared a bowl of French onion soup and the tuna, and both of which were super flavorful. Highly recommend both! For our entrees we decided to split the burger and the pork chop. The pork chop unfortunately came out overcooked and the sauce they gave us was sitting for a while and developed a film on it. They were quick to remedy that and the manager had come out to make sure that we were pleased with how the remake was made and it was delightful! The sauce which was more sauce like than chunky make it more enjoyable. The burger was great too, you could taste the flavors in every bite. We also ordered the asparagus and Mac and cheese for our little. He gobbled it right up, and when we went to taste it to see why he was so excited, the creaminess and the cheese blend said enough. We took the remainder home and he was thrilled to have it for lunch again the next day. Overall we had a great time, the only issue we had was waiting quite a bit to check out at the end of the night. They started getting a bit busier so we understood but we were rushing to get our little home and because we had to wait for the pork chop remake it made it a pretty late night. Highly recommend for dinner! We're excited to come back and try high tea sometime soon!

It made the experience feel impersonal from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was very dark and gothic, which may appeal to some people, but it didn't feel warm or inviting to us. Between the unwelcoming first impression and the overall vibe, it's just not a place I would choose to visit again. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be back.

Not too dry, tasty, loaded with stuff. The English muffin and mixed berry jelly were perfect. The potatoes next to the Omelette were delicious and not greasy at all. This was definitely a very expensive breakfast, But I was in a reasonably expensive dining district, so maybe that was to be expected.
