    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.

    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.

I also enjoyed a Lemon Drop Martini after my meal and LOVED how the extra is put on ice so you can refresh your drink. Expensive, but well worth the cost! Our server was Q. She was amazing and not only made menu recommendations, but she also took a series of photos of us. The restaurant bar area was lively but not overly boisterous. Ambiance is nice with dim lighting. Super clean restrooms and overall spotless. Staff quickly turned over tables and booths and were thorough in cleaning. This was my first time dining at this location. Plenty of well-lit parking and security drives through the parking lot frequently. There's also an entrance from the mall(Somerset). Great evening of celebrating and catching up with my Sorority sisters. We're already planning our next visit!

If it's something big come early cause it definitely gets packed pretty quick. I had the boneless wings with the Korean sauce and it was shockingly good. 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.

I've been there several times with my son and always had a good experience. However, today I walked in and it was like nobody saw me and I stood there at the entrance and I stood there. Two gentlemen came in behind me and the girl saw them and she seated them and then she saw me and she said 'are you here to eat' I said, "of course I'll take the seat by the window facing Maple" and she said "OK go ahead and I'll bring you a menu"! She never did. Eventually, the Server who was working that table. She saw me and she was training another person today and she says I'll be right with you! Well, a minute turned into another minute and another minute and several other people came in and then she came to me and said "what are you having?" I said "I don't know. I don't have a menu!" "Oh" she said "She didn't give you a menu!" I said, No, She didn't give me anything"! So the Server and her trainee went and got me a menu and a glass of water, silverware and napkin! After waiting and waiting for my server and her trainee to return and more people to be seated, my server returned and took my order! Lobster bisque and halibut with green beans no potatoes! Then, for more waiting! And I waited and waited and waiting! They brought my lobster bisque! I tell you! They just do not know how to make a lobster bisque in Birmingham thus far! Not up to par. It was orange and not a bit of lobster in it! Nor the smell of lobster was nowhere near it! I don't know what these restaurants think lobster bisque is. Did not even return to remove my bowl or replenish my water! Never saw them again! Then, I waited another long time until they brought out my main course which was pathetic and the sauce with it was so salty that I couldn't even use it so I did sprinkle some lemon on the fish and try to eat it. The best thing about the meal was the green beans! I ate part of the fish, but it was more or less tasteless! Not one time did my server come to check on me to see if everything was OK and as she was bringing me my check, she poured me some more water, that was really good. The only time she checked on me! 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!
