The creamer was added for you when you ordered. The cream was stored in a container that appeared to be an original device from the '30s. Worked well enough, so if it ain't broke... you know. I had Italian Breakfast. Three eggs as you like them, toast, hash browns, Italian sausage or a meatball with marinara sauce. I was impressed that I found a bay leaf poking out of the marinara sauce, so I know it was made in-house. I wish there had been a bit more spice, but very good. My wife had an omelette, the Massachusetts Pirate. Very well made with steak, peppers and onions. Also had toast and hash browns. We didn't have them, but the pancakes looked delicious. We saw several prepared while we waited at our counter seats. They're big and quite fluffy. Might have to have those next time. The place was very busy. Service was a bit slow, but gotta expect that for a place like this. Very, very friendly. We expect to go again!

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.

They have an ATM onsite, but was not working (most likely empty) when we were there. But I just drove down the street to a gas station and grabbed some cash. NBD. The food was super incredibly delicious. My wife had the chicken and waffles and I had corned beef (homemade, not canned) and eggs and toast. All was delicious and huge portions. Definitely returning for our next breakfast meal!

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. Overall, good experience (besides the wait) and everyone had great food!

There was only parking on the street, but since it was a weekday, it was easy to park out front. We got the waffle with bananas foster, Nutella crepe and a side of bacon.
