    Perfect! 2 eggs over medium, hash browns well done, turkey sausage.
    Lana B.

    Absolutely fantastic choice for a diner. Breakfast, lunch, we have never, ever had a disappointing meal here. Family run, high quality ingredients, food is always hot, service is always friendly. What sets this place apart from your typical Coney Island style diner? The food is waaaay better than most, and it's also very clean inside. We send customers here and bring friends here for lunch on a regular basis and the feedback is always the same, "wow! Great food!" I'd say the son, Eddie is an excellent chef and he seems to really care about what he's serving. If they are out of something it's because the options they had weren't good enough. That said they have a huge menu with tons of options. Their Chicken noodle soup is old school perfection. Any salad or sandwich that features grilled chicken....I'd dare you to find more delicious grilled chicken.

    I stopped in here the other day for the first time. I was driving by and decided to check it out. I sat down and greeted right away. I ordered up the fish and chips and chicken noodle soup. The chicken noodle soup was delicious big chunks of chicken in it. The fish and chips were delicious. I will be stopping in again.

    The food was like most diners, it was good though. The service was good. It has a cute ambience to it. The bathroom doors are a bit weird though, it's only one person but I couldn't open it or push it open. Overall very good. Recommend it.

    Cobb salad, my way! I can't stand blue cheese dressing.

    Good basic place for a decent meal. It just hits the spot sometimes for me! It's a bit of a step up from a coney island restaurant but it's not quite a diner either. I usually get a salad there but I've had friends order different things which are usually pretty good! Their onion rings are really good here. I like that they have a pretty extensive menu too. Service is hit n miss here but today it was pretty good!

    Saw this place on Fox 2 in the morning and we decided to stop there after church for breakfast. It's family owned and guess who we saw sitting in the booth behind us? Charlie Langton, Fox 2 news anchor! He and his family raves about the food and said that they had been coming to the restaurant for years. We sat down and ordered our breakfast. We had scrambled egg whites, dry rye toast, eggs over easy, bacon, sausage, ham and a cup of soup. Food was good and service was good. I'll be back!

    Onion rings

    This place is ridiculously amazingly yummy. I love the giant onion rings and today the strawberry crepes knocked me off my feet. They use real fruit not that crap jelly pie filling stuff other restaurants use. These people know how to do it right. Amazing Amen. I am in heaven

    We go here frequently because it is close by and walking distance. The visit last week was so disappointing. As usual I ordered the senior meatloaf. I received 2 of the smallest pieces that looked more like hotdogs covered with gravy than meatloaf. The scoop of corn and mashed potato's came luke warm. My husbands fish was good, but French fries were cold and overcooked. The life saver of the visit was the excellent rice pudding. I think we will walk to a different restaurant in this week.

    Swiss cheese and mushroom omelette. Only $5.95 and it tastes wonderful.
    Ahmed M.

    How to start, the owner/server is simply amazing. She knows how to treat her customers. She is cheerful and nice. Start a conversation on each table and ask you how everything was every few minutes and when you are checking out. The food is just perfect. The Swiss cheese mushroom omelette had a huge amount of melted Swiss cheese of the good quality and as big of mushroom. I just love this place and I really respect the business owners who treat their customers the way they deserve. Thank you.

From our server Quinn to the amazingly prepared and fresh tasting food, it was back to what I originally thought of this chain. It was a Monday night so it was not busy and there were 7 of us so we were seated right away. Our food arrived very quickly after we ordered and looked amazing. I love that they offer seasonal menus so you are almost always going to find something new on the menu. Additionally, the summer menu is all under 600 calories. That's a bonus! I ordered the Grilled Corn Flatbread, hubby had the Avocado Toast, and my niece got the Filet Mignon. I didn't take a pic of every person's orders - just those flanking me. The Flatbread was excellent - it had cheese and spiced bacon as well as sour cream so the taste combination was excellent. Hubby said his Avocado Toast was the best he had ever had. I had a taste and it was very good. My niece said her Filet was perfectly cooked and not dry or tough. I'll be back again - thank you, Quinn, for how personable and helpful you were to our family.

Plenty of well-lit parking and security drives through the parking lot frequently. There's also an entrance from the mall(Somerset).

Boneless wings are a low expectation food for me, so when a sauce or the crisp really comes out excellent, I'm always genuinely surprised. The sauce was really the highlight, cause it balances flavor and heat perfectly, while also having some sweetness without being too sticky. What I really like about this spot is that they have around 110 draft beers on tap so it's really a craft beer lovers paradise. They also have some basic beers for those who don't have the love for crafts along with a full bar and curated cocktail list. So if you like the idea of an elevated sports bar, with solid food choices, and amazing beer list this is the spot for you.

The water. Did I tip her? Hummm NO! Oh no oh no! I'm a very good tipper for good service! What could improve? Everything!

I do want to start with some thoughts before I give the highlights. We were charged a percent for using a credit card. I cannot speak to the in-person menu, but I combed the online menu and it did not mention that. We were also charged for ranch. Most places do not do that, and we were not informed there would be an upcharge. Most places allow you a sauce to go with fries. Also, for my meal, there is an image of an extra sauce which it did not come with, but we were charged for two small portions of ranch. Last, the server was just okay. I always enthusiastically ask questions to get to know more about a place. I asked if they had any other fruity drinks. She pointed to the drink menu and indicated just the Paloma. I said, but you have a full bar, this is the only fruity drink you make? She did not want to ask the bar, but I asked her to. The bar apparently only came up with one other drink idea, which I ended up getting two drinks listed on the menu (both very good) but it seemed like work for her to go out of her way to inquire. I also bet they could have made many fruity drinks, like maybe a Mai Tai, or some equivalent. Oh well. On the other hand, the Paloma was actually very good. It was a quality Paloma and I do recommend. Their other drink was seasonal with lavender, also a very nice drink. Most of the other places, like Honcho, I have no problem with getting a variety of drinks or inquiring about them, and the bar tender here did a great job. I came here because I was targeted by an ad on Instagram. This place was not on my radar, but since they created a meal (Steak-frites) very similar to Le Relais in Paris and New York, etc... I wanted to try it. It came with bottomless parm fries. The fries were crispy, savory, and delightful. The steak was super well cooked and was like butter. You did not even need a knife, it cut with a fork. Since I love next day leftovers, the steak was still super delicious and tender the next day. It was still like butter and cut with a fork. I would absolutely come back for that and bring the rest of my family. We also tried the tri-tip sandwich. We were told the bread was made fresh. I thought it was very good and very tender. My husband would have liked an au jus or horseradish sauce. He would try the hamburger next, but I would love another steak-frites, like right now! We were sad the coffee and pastry section closed early. In the past, at Honcho, we would get coffee and pastry after dinner since their coffee tends to be really good and quality. I would consider coming for brunch to try some. We talked to a gentleman who was part of the business as he was working hard. He was very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to hear our thoughts. I told him I was here for the steak. He thought I had a "but". I did not, it was great and I hope they can maintain that price point and the second serving of fries, because that was my main reason for visiting. He let us know the menu recently changed. I am not able to compare since this was my first time, but I liked that they had a steak dinner and pizza. If we come back my oldest loves this group's pizza, she gets it at Vinsetta, and this one looked very good.
