    the sign for the restaurant
    Steven T.

    I stopped here for breakfast because it was close/off the freeway as the start of a weeks long road trip. The place looks like a Greek restaurant/truck stop in the middle of nothing really. The place was empty at 7:20 in the morning except two tables. My service had no issues because it was not packed on my visit. The decor is dated like an old Greek restaurant with some color on the walls and exposed brick. I didn't want a big breakfast because I was having lunch down the road so I ordered 2 eggs with sausage patties and sourdough toast. The eggs were perfect sunny side up. The sausage patties were on the dry side but flavorful and the sourdough was average but it made a nice toast sandwich. Overall it was an average breakfast because I just ordered the basics but it did the job to get me off to the start of my trip and exactly what I wanted.

    I was looking somewhere to park me semi truck for a a few minutes. Grateful that this diner had truck parking. Really wanted to go in and grab a bite of this American Pie;) but I was already stuffed. This place has plenty of truck parking if you need it before a delivery or pick up. There is a Chevron Gas station around the corner.

    On our way home from Milwaukee to Quad Cities we were looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. We saw the sign on the highway and decided to take a chance and check it out. Glad we did. The parking lot had semi trucks and a few empty trailers parked but lots of cars and vans. The inside is adorable and clean. The staff is super friendly. The menu has typical breakfast fare but also fancy pancake toppings such as pecan, cranberry pecan, Oreo s'mores. They also serve lunch and dinner with a small Health and Fitness section. Definitely pleased we tried it out and highly recommend!

    Server was extremely nice & knowledgeable on the specials & menu. Food came quickly & was delicious, especially the bacon. Much more modern inside the restaurant than expected & there's outdoor seating as well (not sure if it was open when I was there or not). Reasonable prices. BUT, no one had a mask on including the servers despite the mask mandate & people dying so 1 star off for that.

    Steakburger rare, eggs, hashbrowns. The rest of the hashbrowns were tucked under the steakburger.

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and ended up staying nearly 2 hours. Great atmosphere, it's a fully updated diner. Great coffee, great food, great service. Best part their cheesecakes and homemade and totally worth the try!!!

    Very clean, excellent service, large portions and delicious food. Our server was very nice and engaging in conversation. This was our first time here and he was very helpful. They are great for accommodating food allergies and are working on gluten free options... However a ton of natural gluten free options to select off the menu. Place is very modern, trendy and has counter service as well. Also TV's in the corners. All the customers are very friendly too. Looking forward to going back!

    This place is just okay because it has a convenient location and they are open a lot of hours. We didn't care for the food or the service.

    First time trying this restaurant. The overall experience was just OK. The restaurant is nicely…read moredecorated and there are many choices on the menu. We tried their Los Altos eggs Benedict and their farmer's skillet. The chorizo in the Los Altos Benedict is very spicy and I am a chorizo connoisseur. It has too much heat for your average person. The poached eggs were over done and the potatoes had too much pepper, that's all we tasted. The farmers skillet was good but nothing to get excited about. Their juice glasses are large! The service was good and she was very pleasant. However, our server never checked if we wanted more water even when our glass was empty. One more comment, they don't offer iced coffee! Unfortunately, that set the tone from the beginning.

    Really great spot. Modern/California ish take on traditinal diner food…read more In town for a concert. Arrived on Saturday around 11AM. Busy, but only waited about 10 mins. Service: hostesses were efficient and kind. Our server was a very young man (Eli, i think) who took good care of us and was funny. Food came out fast. 5 stars Ambiance/location: Parking was a little tough hut located near a kot of other shops and restaurants downtown. Appears to be a clean and safe neighborhood. Bathroom was clean. While it was busy, it wasn't too busy or too loud. 4 stars stars Food: Mexican skillet and steak and egg skillet (avocado added to both). Ebglish muffin and small pancake. Mexican skillet was fantastic. Even with the jalapeños it was just the right heat for me. 5 stars. Steak and egg skillet was very good. 4.5 stars. Pancake was your standard pancake. 4 stars. I really like the english muffin well toasted and buttered. 4 stars. Overall great spot and great value. I will be back when I am in the area.

    The food is amazing and the staff is incredible!!! Can't recommend enough!! It's very nice inside…read moreas well. Delicious!!

    Pre-Father's Day dinner at this restaurant. Saw it when they just opened but never came around to…read moreeating here until today. So glad that we did!! Conveniently close to home. Plenty of parking space. Restaurant is spacious and clean. We had a very early dinner so we were able to choose our table. Not many customers but by the time we finished eating, more people came in. Pleasantly surprised to be served Ceviché, salsa, and chips right away since we did not order it. Even better, it was complimentary. Nice touch!! Had the Cantaritos Special. Great presentation!! It's a fruit drink with Tajín and Tamarind. A mini bottle of Tequila is laced with what tasted like Chamoy. It was delicious!! My new favorite drink!! Our food was delivered quickly. We ordered the Shrimp Empanadas with Mozzarella Cheese. Intrigued as I thought it was a weird combination. What an excellent pairing!! Generous portions of Shrimp and gooey Mozzarella Cheese dipped in a sauce that tasted like Thousand Island Dressing. So good!! My husband ordered the Huachinango Diabla. Crispy Red Snapper on the outside and moist, flaky on the inside. Diabla sauce complimented the fish very well. Mild and a touch of sweetness. I had the Mendigo Special. Wow!! So much depth of flavor in the savory soup that had generous portions of seafood; octopus, shrimp, and crab (imitation). Topping of cilantro, onions, and avocado all enhanced the already flavorful soup. The dish comes with this buttery, soft, warm bread to soak up the delicious soup. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back soon as everything tasted so delicious!!
