The interior was dive bar/punk/biker with nearly every inch covered in stickers and art. Our omelettes were PERFECT and super cheesy, the rye toast was so fluffy and crunchy and buttery, the bacon was crisped to perfection. I will absolutely be back to try the famous French toast, because They have an entire menu dedicated to it, which tells me it's to die for. Thank you for a great first visit!

The service is friendly and there is a boss-ass-bitch on the grill doing all the cooking and making some insane food. Kudos to her. She's just hustlin' and pumping out food. They have french toast for days and I can't wait to try more of it. Had the banana bread french toast which was insane. Obviously sweet but not over the top. It was perfect. Definitely will be back.

Small place, doesn't look like a diner from the outside, but once inside the back room, you can see…read morethe tell-tale diner shape. Interesting hot rod decor to distinguish it from the rest. Busy joint, tight seating, and energetic servers who keep attentive. -- Patty Melt: So much to like about this, from the marble rye (though I think pumpernickel) to the full size patty (better than the double smashed you get elsewhere) to the onions to the gooey melted cheese to the extreme juiciness and pleasing flavor. I didn't detect any Russian dressing, but this sandwich wasn't lacking for moistness or flavor oomph. A near-elite rendition and one of the best I've had in a while. Excellent. -- Fries: Included with the patty melt and a plentiful supply. The bad news: they're the dreaded industrial "coated" kind. The good news: they were piping hot and cooked perfectly, crisp outside, fluffy inside. The great news: you can substitute home fries. My server offered a sample of the home fries. -- Home Fries: I found them to be right in my wheelhouse for doneness, crispness, seasoning, onions, and overall texture and flavor. Superb. Between the good looking plates that passed by and my enjoyment of my own food on my first visit, there's sure to be a second. Looking forward to returning with my wife for breakfast and more of those home fries.

Definitely returning for our next breakfast meal!

The ambience was truck stop dingy-and I was a little hesitant to be honest. The server got us coffee and had a great sense of humor and put smiles on our faces. Ordered French toast (made with raisin bread) and two eggs, corned beef hash and a house made English muffin. The winner for me was the corned beef hash! House made corned beef and shredded potatoes, cooked in such a way to have the perfect balance of crisp/soft texture. And the taste---heaven on a fork!! The other surprise hit - the house made English muffin! Delish! Sitting behind the grill and watching the chef work was a delight. The orders stacked up, and he kept 'em moving, and even delivered a few plates to customers. He never lost his cool, kept his voice low, was polite and gracious I to the servers and customers. Excellent all around!!!

Lots of counter stools and booths in 1950s pastel yellows and greens. My visit was a patty melt quest. They happily served it during the morning hours. The good: - Proper use of rye bread and onions - Proper buttering and griddling of the bread - Beef pink and juicy - Can substitute tots or hash browns for fries - Good flavors and mostly good textures The not-so-good: - Cheap beef with a clenched feel; a bit rubbery The cooking and overall presentation overcame the weakness of the beef ingredient to yield a tasty and pleasurable finished product. But the beef is noticeable as the weak link. Spicy hash browns were very good. Soft texture with some crispness too, and very enjoyable spiciness that didn't overpower. Decent coffee. Friendly service.

My bf got the corned beef hash, he mentioned it was good but very dry. He was rather eating my plate more than his own. I would say the corned beef hash is interesting as it has homefries mixed in, which was a bit much for us. Service - quick, got us in and got all of our orders correct even with a full house. We waited approx. 40 mins for a table though for 6 people even though we were quoted 20 mins. Ambiance - the ambiance was good, it's a nice little restaurant and has nice waitresses/waiters. However, for such a busy place, there is literally no parking due to it being so packed. Also, they don't take reservations on weekends, which makes it even tougher.
