    Our first visit (there will be more) satisfied this group of diner lovers completely! The breakfasts were delicious and the service was terrific! There wasn't a minute where we were looking for our server or a coffee refill because they were incredibly attentive! And on top of all that, you're not breaking the bank! The breakfast eggrolls are a must!

    Best Pancakes I have ever had. I am super picky about my pancakes. They were super fluffy just the way I like them.

    I've been here multiple times, sometimes weekly. I want to try more choices, but the full breakfast is just SO GOOD! I have had their chocolate cake, also. It was one of the best that I've ever had.

    Great food, great staff. I love it here. Though, the shopping center smells like poo. They need to fix their sewerlines.

    In a 4 day span we ate here 3x (breakfast twice and then we thought we would try them for dinner)out of necessity because it was close. Food is tasty; the raisin toast to die for. Service was ok. They are open for dinner, but only until 7 pm......and when they say 7 pm, by 7:15, the coffee was dumped and they were closing down. All this WOULD have been fine, except we came in close to 6:20 (possibly as late as 6:30), did NOT see the small sign on the door, and when we ordered our dinners, we were not made aware of this and then we waited 20 minutes for our food. ( Do the math). This was disappointing to us and we were essentially rushed out. This was politely done, but still disappointing.

    A blast from the past. The diner has a very old school feel to the food…and the price. $35 for three full bellies…you can’t beat that. Portion sizes were good. This place hit the spot. Most definitely will be back.
