Felt like we entered a coffee shop/diner from the 50's and 60's. Staff was warm, friendly, and inviting. Our waitress remind me if Flo's and I was waiting for Flo to holler "Kiss my grits"... I have to keep reminding myself this is not the south. Many of the locals were on a first name basis with staff which only added to the charm. Portion sizes were huge and prices were reasonable. The hamburger was good and am looking forward to going back and trying breakfast. Cash is king here as they only take cash but do have an ATM onsite ( which is the only modern thing in the restaurant )

Waitress brought us coffee and we looked through the menus that were in a holder at the table. Ordered a Reuben omelette - I'd never heard of such a thing before so decided to try it. Wow the flavors all worked great. Would definitely recommend to others that haven't had it to give it a try. Coffee was great, good service and whomever is working the grill is crazy good.

There was some sort of drama between the two waitresses, who clearly didn't like each other.

We sat ourselves per the signs directions. Our server had pep, personality & a quick sense of humor... I did not catch her name. Food coming out was a bit slow. Have patience. I was served quite possibly the fluffiest, lightest, tastiest FRESH & HOT vegetarian omelet ( no peppers sub onions ) a perfectly cooked hardy omelet. The cheese was a "3 cheese blend". The edges of this omelet were perfectly "crisped " cheeses. I highly recommend stoping by for an enjoyable omelet experience. Also, while this omelet was slow in delivery, the care, pride & love taken to create this were more then apparent, when this eye popping omelet was STILL steaming hot 10 minutes into dining in it. I eat slowly as well. Be PATIENT, take a look around the staff in hustling. Well worth the wait!! I would drive up here from Ithaca for a TRULY excellent breakfast! Worth the wait. Great waitstaff. Hustling ASS! You could hear the noises of a BUSY kitchen. Having been in the BOH for 30 years & an expieranced vendor you know those noises. HIGHLY reccommed. DO NOT BE IN A RUSH , (we ate on a Sunday around 11:30 AM we were sat. Everything is cooked to order, Awesome vegetarian options! Just remember ITS THE WEEKEND. R e l a x!

Stopped in for breakfast at Flo's after hearing about the famous 10-cent coffee, which is…read moredefinitely one of the most unique things about the place. Breakfast itself was very basic diner fare -- eggs, toast, and the usual staples. Nothing fancy, but it was inexpensive and filled the plate. The atmosphere gave me strong old truck-stop diner vibes. Some people may appreciate that nostalgic roadside feel, but for me the restaurant felt a bit dirty and very worn down, like it hasn't had much maintenance or updating in quite a long time. One of the people dining with me ordered a lunch special of beef and mashed potatoes, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and didn't seem freshly made. It was bad enough that they couldn't finish it. Another downside for me was that the diner is cash-only. We rarely carry cash, so we had to use the ATM, which added extra cost to the visit. Overall, Flo's is definitely a very old-school diner experience -- cheap food, tiny coffee prices, and a truck-stop style atmosphere. I'm sure that works perfectly for some people looking for a quick, inexpensive meal, but it just wasn't the right fit for me.

Well, today's the day. I looked on Google to see what time they opened. It said they open at 8:30 on Tuesdays. That's wrong, they open at 7:30 like every other day. So, we totally could have went there earlier but 8:30 was still great for us. This venue is absolutely cute! I love all the tables for outside dining in the front. It was a little muggy out this morning so we opted to sit inside. Walking inside, I love how charming this place is! I can tell this used to be a bar in it's previous life. The way they remodeled it to change it to what it is now is just beautiful! I love the breakfast bar area. I really wanted to sit there but my daughter wanted a booth. Adeline greeted us with her beautiful smile after we sat. She got drinks started while we looked over the menu. The menu is quite broad and they have a little of everything. For breakfast I ordered the rise and shine. Your traditional breakfast of eggs, toast, home fries and toast. My daughter got the crab cakes and eggs. While we waited for breakfast, we enjoyed coffee and orange juice. The coffee wasn't the hottest but it was still good with the vanilla creamer. Breakfast came out on huge plates. Everything looked so good, especially the home fries. I'm a sucker for potatoes. The eggs were cooked perfectly, nice and runny in the middle, the toast was buttery, the home fries had a nice light char on them and soft in the middle. I did get a side of sausage gravy for my home fries but it didn't tickle my fancy, The potatoes were good without it. I did get to try some of my daughter's crab cake. It was very tasty! I initially was going to get the crab cakes but I got a couple bites of my daughter's so win win on having a little of everything. I also got a ham breakfast melt to go for my husband. It was so good I went back and ordered another one for my sons. Both sammys were demolished. I think it's a must go come to the Pancake House while you're visiting Slyvan Beach. The venue is darling. The staff is super sweet. And they push out good food! You can't get any better than that. I look forward to eating here the next time we are visiting.

Soon after there was a line that nearly went out the door. Next I want to let you know to arrive exceptionally hungry. Portions are insanely huge and I don't know anyone who could possibly eat as much as they bring out. The Dutch Babies were a rare treat, the pancakes gigantic and hearty, and the three-egg omelet was massive. No one at our table was able to finish everything, and we hadn't even had dinner the night before. Service was great in spite of the busyness of the place and our coffee was refilled every time our cups were nearly empty. A great place to try when you're in the Buffalo area.

Its a one man operation as the owner is the chef and waiter so if it fills up, you may have to wait a bit but its worth it. We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves at the time we went and the owner/chef, Jeff, was a great host with many personal stories about the history of Utica and his personal colorful past. We had his stuffed French toast which was awesome and some eggs. The coffee and tea are self serve and there are seats at the counter and a couple tables. The place only seats around 16 people but he assured us that he occasionally gets many more in there at a time. If you're looking for a great breakfast or lunch during the week (its closed on weekends) and don't need any frills, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!
