The onion roll bun was soft and flavorful but the star was the thinly sliced and piping hot corned beef. Perfect amount of cheese, and it tasted great on its own. Paired with fries that came piping hot as well. The fries were nice and crispy. My server was more interested in her phone, but the other two servers were helpful and friendly. Chatted with both the other servers when they were behind the bar, and they were very nice. As far as ambiance, it's an old diner...and it's perfectly what you should expect. Would recommend and would come back.

After 25 minutes, we walked up to the counter to pay for the drinks and then leave...against my better judgment. The cashier urged me to stay that it would be worth it. I was deceived the chicken tenders had bones in them Eggs over easy was cooked through Fries were over cooked The bacon of which they generously gave my 7 slices were paper thin ok maybe nitpicking Last thing The waitress came up to me while eating and apologized for the way. It told me that "on weekends it takes longer up to 30 minutes vs 10 on the weekdays" Full disclosure it was not packed The cook was ancient which isn't a big deal but if she can't keep up with 10 customers then maybe invest in a second cook. The place was relatively clean

I wasn't sure whether it was seat yourself, so I waited at the cashier station and the very polite cashier asked me if she could help me. (I was carrying a folio, so she might have thought I was there to do an inspection!) Once I got seated, my order of coffee and ice water with lemon was delivered with great haste, and I had some time to peruse the menu. This isn't some place you go for organic specials or free-range kale - this is a classic American diner. I asked for a half order of French Toast (meow favorite) with bacon and eggs, soft scrambled. It came out much faster than I expected. The bacon was good, nicely salted... the eggs were letting down the side though. They were cold in spots but cooked exactly to order, so maybe they were done before the rest of the order....? The French Toast was on point and hitting hard. Servers came by on the regular to deliver fresh coffee while I made notes on house hunting. Payment was quick and easy. Andes after-dinner mints are available for 25 cents each at the time of writing. I will definitely be back - might not be a "regular" depending on where I end up living - but this place definitely requires meow further investigation.

If we had not been with other people I would have gotten up and left. We will NEVER return and will find somewhere else to continue our day out. I was instructed that my dog must be under the table, could not bark or jump up or we would have to leave. Her entire job is to let me know and allow her to jump into my lap or lay on my chest! There was plenty of room for the waitress to reach our table. We intentionally went to the very back of the restaurant so as to not be in the way of anyone else. We were NOT in a booth where there is only one way to access the table to serve us. This manager obviously has something against dogs or something. If she is under the table she cannot get to me properly. The staff need to do their research or learn exactly what is acceptable for a service dog. You don't get to make up your own rules!! Even my 9 year old sons know more about service dog behavior than these adults in this restaurant. No customers complained and in fact several times we were complimented on how well she behaved by other patrons. When I attempted to address it on my way out I was again informed that my dog could not be in the isle. If that was all he said I may have let it go. The fact that we were still getting settled shows just how unprofessional they were. My service dog is VERY well behaved and while the state does not require any testing or registration I have taken the time and gone the extra mile to have her go through public access tests and she passed with flying colors at only 9 months old!! If you have an issue with dogs I suggest you do not work where you will come across service dogs. You have no business being anywhere around the public! After we left I found other instances where others had faced the same problems. I hope others that require a service dog read the reviews before going there.

I wasn't too hungry, so I went with the Coney Island dog with tots. The hot dog was a decent size, topped with lightly seasoned ground beef and cheese. I personally would have liked a little more seasoning, but it still hit the spot and made for an easy, satisfying lunch. The tots were very tasty and, thankfully, not greasy, which I really appreciated. One of my colleagues ordered the double cheeseburger with fries, and wow, it looked delicious and huge. There was a lot of beef on that burger, and seeing the size of it made me glad I went with the coney because I definitely would not have been able to finish what he ordered. All in all, it was a decent, affordable lunch with quick service and good comfort food. I'll be back sometime to try their breakfast, since I've heard it's really good.
