The meals took a while to get there (which was surprising since it was mid afternoon), but were delicious and well prepared when they arrived (a Panini and a Reuben.) We took a few desserts to go as well as some cookies. The cookies were huge, but a bit hard so more for eating with coffee. The cannoli was delicious. The filling was the best part, the shell was a little soft, but will give it a pass. All in all will plan to return to try breakfast and more desserts for sure!

Coming in here you have the dining tables to the left (each section having its own jukebox!) where you can sit and relax while enjoying your meal, and the right has more seating by the counter. I feel the people here are kind and great cooks. I was pleasantly surprised I forgot they offer oatmeal (labeled on the menu as "hot cereal") so I got that with a veggie omlette with cheese. Everything was delicious. I was also happy to see it was busier than usual probably due to their slight change in hours (Note: Unless this had always been their schedule. It always seemed it closed earlier than it could be convenient arrive to sit and eat here). But they were doing well and chatting with folks. Coming here I kind of felt like family. That should be the vibe of a diner like this, and I hope you get to experience that here as well!

You ever try a place because it's there?…read more Yeah. That was me today. I like diners. I drive past this place every now and then. I just decided that they were getting a shot today. And the best way I know how to describe this is that there was nothing bad about my experience. It was fine. It was also nothing special. My French Toast was good. It was good enough. It wasn't gourmet by any means. It was just decent. No real distinctive flavor to it but not bad at all. And service was friendly to me. Standard diner service all the way. Don't expect much. I didn't.

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

We ordered the in house chili to share. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, Hubby ordered the Turkey dinner and 2 sides which was supposed to be mashed potatoes and side salad with French Dressing. The waitress brought out his turkey dinner, mashed potatoes with corn(which he didn't ask for) and told him his salad was on the way. We both looked at each other when she came back with a HUGE chef salad. Hubby didn't have the heart to tell her she made a mistake, so he took it to go. They have a nice array of bakery items, we opted for a slice of coconut custard pie, lemon meringue pie and apple danish. I would venture back here again.

A highlight is also the amazing and kind service. I do think it's a little overpriced for the portions and for a diner, many of the pictures of the menu on Yelp are outdated so I was a bit shocked by the prices. Just a heads up, but definitely worth a visit!

A down-to-earth watering hole. Cozy, even. I loved our table, a nice high-top in the corner. I guess my only complaint is that it took a little while to be seated. It was Sunday night dinner rush, L get it, but I waited by the door long enough to wonder whether anyone was going to notice me. But it was worth the wait. For a place that comes off as a bar, the meal they served me checked all the boxes -- oysters from the raw bar first, then a tender New York strip, with a generous side of Jack Daniels. Everything was perfect. Our server Jake was a real pro, the best. You could tell they were all a great team. When a drink I ordered appeared on the bar but had not yet been delivered, someone stepped up and brought it to me. Service! Something that surprised me. Though I was totally into my dinner, looking around, it struck me that the place looked exceptionally clean. I mean, excceptional, something they should be proud of. But above all, I could not have enjoyed the food more. The oysters, excellent. So good I ordered a second dozen for desert. An entirely enjoyable and satisfying experience. You'll find it worth your while.
