    Don't let the area around the diner dissuade guy from trying it. Walked in on a weekday morning,…read moredecent crowd. Friendly wait staff seated me and brought a coffee. I ordered an omelette and home fries. I judge a diner breakfast by the quality of the homefries and these were A+. Extra crispy, real potatoes that were nicely seasoned. Everything was hot, coffee was very good. Friendly attentive staff. Can't wait to go again.

    Looking for breakfast spots in the area this looked to be our best bet. Plenty of parking available…read moreand it is located in what appears to be an old mall that while outdated looking did appear to be full of many other businesses. This is your classic diner you would imagine when you think of spots that brings regulars in everyday. Also I must add they were decorated for Christmas to give that little extra holiday feeling, great touch. You are greeted right away by some of the friendliest staff and service is top notch. The person in our party was getting their coffee topped off long before it had a chance of being empty. Not really something you see with service quality much these days. In typical diner fashion they offer their breakfast all day during their open hours as well as have rotating daily specials. While some of the specials sounded really good, and even just their typical menu offerings sounded tasty both my wife and I ended up choosing an omelette. She ended up choosing the bacon and cheese while I got one of their loaded ones that came with sausage, onions, homefries, and cheese. Serving sizes were great and it is definitely a spot you will be leaving feeling full. While both were tasty, we have had better breakfast and omelettes elsewhere but would gladly return here again! The cheese used appeared to be American cheese slices and my wife's hash brown had an off taste from the oil used to fry it. Just a few knocks against the food to make it a 4 star review rather than 5 but minimal overall. Positively though they filled her omelette with a ton of bacon! If you are in Potsdam or the nearby area looking for a breakfast (or lunch) spot I do think this is worth your time! Some of the friendliest staff in a place with old school vibes for a good hearty meal!

    My fiancé, my Dad, and I stopped in here for breakfast one morning while we were up in the area for…read moremy brother's wedding. As we walked into theater, we were greeted and sat almost instantly. The waitress took our drink orders and let us take a look at the menu for a couple minutes. I ordered an orange juice, their griddle bowl, and a side of hash. The orange juice I got was called a large, but seemed pretty small to me. As for the griddle bowl and hash, they were just okay. The flavors of the bowl were nothing to write home about, just pretty mediocre. The cheese sauce they put on the bowl had a not so pleasant after taste to it. I usually love me some corned beef hash, but again theirs was just okay, nothing bad but nothing great. Overall I really like the ambiance of the restaurant, and the staff were very pleasant. I was just hoping the food would be a little better. We did come at brunch time, and it seemed like everyone around us was ordering lunch items, so maybe in the future we will come back to try some of the lunch items.

I also observed them as they interacted with other customers proactively. The atmosphere was really relaxing, & the food was awesome (you've got to try the Griddleburger). I also saw the owner, Mason, interacting with customers & helping the servers to break down tables. All around, we'll be back & we recommend this establishment to all. -Dave
