Visited on a pleasant and quiet Saturday afternoon in March. The diner wasn't very busy, and we…read morewere seated immediately. The family-run staff was friendly, attentive and fast. Large breakfast selection on the menu, very good food, slightly pricey though. Surprisingly, the cream of chicken and rice soup with my daily special order ended up being my favorite item! The coffee was also delicious. We parked on-street right outside the front door on this visit but there aren't many spots, there is however a close pay to park area behind the building, this could be a challenge during busier times. Bonus: A cute, tiny little park next door literally attached to the building. Highly recommended for a quick bite!

Well, I've only drown by this place about 1000 times and finally decided to give it a try. I…read morehonestly wanted to give it five stars based solely on the food, but the service was probably three stars. We came in on a Sunday and it wasn't very busy probably around 2:30 PM and we sat outside on the patio and it took a good amount of time for someone to finally come over and ask if we wanted water and then that person never came back with the water. Our server then finally came over and brought us water. I'd probably say a total of 15 minutes later... We ordered the food and it was absolutely fantastic, but we only saw our waiter one more time. We were finished and waiting for the check for another easily 15 minutes and I finally had to go inside and ask and someone that work there told me our server left for a bit just temporarily, but he would be back. Didn't bother to check on us before we left so I asked that person if I could have a box to go and the check I definitely wanna come back, but I really hope the service improves because I've also read some other reviews from this place and a few people have shared the same experience.

My besties wanted to come here because it's their favourite diner in Cleveland. Our waiter was…read moresuper kind and the service was speedy and efficient. Though the restaurant was bustling, we were seated immediately after we arrived. We started with mozzarella sticks and the cheese pull was so delectably phenomenal. I personally didnt love the ratio of bread to cheese, but my friends loved it. I have a bit of an aversion to fried food and ai didn't realise the wings were fried so I didn't end up eating them, but I did get a delicious caesar salad that was fresh and crunchy, though it was a little overdressed. I don't live in Cleveland so I probably won't be back for a while, but my friends love this place and I hope it continues to be a beloved diner in the community.

I ordered the combo of pancakes with turkey bacon and eggs which cost $10.99. The pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon tasted good as it would for a typical diner. I remember that the 2 pancakes that I got were thick and a big size. They were definitely very generous with the amount of food that I got. I left feeling full and satisfied. My friend from Church ordered pancakes as well with sausages but I don't think she got eggs like I did. She enjoyed her brunch. Service was friendly for a busy afternoon. A server greeted us at our table when we arrived and brought water. We waited for about 20 mins for our food to arrive which is typical. Overall, I don't typically eat at diners but I enjoyed brunch. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 121/250 total reviews in 2026 - 962 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 7 June 2026

I did not realize the Coffee Pot was here or would have been a lot sooner and a lot more often. There are only about 6 tables and another 6 or so seats at the counter. Coffee from a Bunn pot. The toaster is next to the coffee pot. I think there were 3 total people working - 1 cooking, 1 taking orders and running food, and I'm pretty sure their mom was supervising. The food is made to order, so not fast, but my omelet was delicious and the price was great. Definitely a solid diner!

We weren't really greeted as we walked in but a woman said hi as we took a seat. No one else acknowledged us and we didn't realize she worked there because she was just kind of visiting at a table. There were also two other tables being used by young children to play and nap. So, it was a little awkward... Anyway, another woman finally came out from the back and gave us menus and coffee. We had eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and blueberry pancakes. It was fine. It's really standard food that kind of just feels like you went to someone's house for breakfast... including a little burnt edge on the pancakes. I guess this is a neighborhood place but it's not super comfortable or aesthetic. It's fine.

I got the gyros delight- the meat was cooked a little crispy just the way i like it. It came with a fresh salad and a side of soup, as well as French fries. This was a steal for the price! On our way out, we could resist the dessert case. Everything looked homemade and so delicious. We ended up splitting a brownie. It was very rich and moist. We had great conversations with the hostess as well as our waitress. I would recommend going and having a good conversation at the least.
