My friend had the breakfast quesadilla and thought it was awesome as well. Chef Darrell came over and spoke with us for a few minutes and allowed us to take his photo. Such a wonderful diner and chef and the staff was just as nice. Will definitely stop here again when I'm up north.

The food was better than expected and stood up to our favorite NJ diner.

We waited 20 mins (totally expected and understood) and saw a few people get up from the *bar* to leave. Went over to the bartender to ask if we could sit at the bar and was yelled at from across the restaurant by a waitress "HEY, YOU CANT SIT THERE, THATS WHY WE HAVE A LIST AND A SIGN AT THE DOOR THAT SAYS 'WAIT TO BE SEATED. AND ITS NOT CLEAN YET SO..." Before I could say we were asking the bartender about the seats, and before I could tell the rude ass waitress that we were already on the list, she turned around to keep cleaning a table. We walked back to the front of the restaurant and walked out. Took our business to Tupper Lake. There's too many other places for a mediocre bite of food to be served by unwarranted attitude.

Our orders were taken promptly and we specified for split checks between the families. The diner was busy and it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our breakfast meals. The food was cooked well, eggs were a touch on the cold side but everyone really enjoyed their meals. Waitress was all over the place and seemed to be waiting on half the tables so the service was a bit lacking there. Place was clean, bathrooms spotless. My only gripe is that both parties were hit with the automatic 18% gratuity for parties over 7+ which I felt a bit unfair given we asked for split checks. Ps, no waffles but they have plate sized pancakes.

We sat there for 20 minutes and they had yet to hand us a menu, so we got up and left. They kept looking our direction from afar and pointing at us but would service the table right next to us (several times) and STILL not look our way. Is it because we weren't locals? I don't understand. Just really disappointed with how poor the service was. Never walked out of a place before. Sad that a small Adirondack restaurant is where that changed for me, because I love supporting local businesses!
