    Into the white night diner before, and the food was good. We got the double bacon cheeseburgers. They are huge warning. If you were not ready to eat a ginormous sandwich please just get a single you will not be disappointed with the quantity of food. We also got the combo which comes with fries and a drink. Fries were all right. Burger was good would return in the future but probably for takeout and not dine in

    This place has so many different types of food that are delicious. I just found out this place exists and it has changed my life. I have eaten here for three days in a row for an affordable price.The workers are very nice and overall the sweetest people I have met in a long time. The atmosphere is clean just the outside is a little dirty, just because people now these days don't care about the world any more. That is why I took a star for Atmosphere.This is my new favorite diner that I have been to so far and I am excited to go to other places and rate them too.

    If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food experience, look no further. The juicy patty melt is a standout—perfectly grilled with caramelized onions, melted cheese, and buttery toasted bread that hits all the right notes. The cheeseburger is equally impressive, with a juicy, perfectly seasoned patty and fresh toppings that bring it all together. The grilled ham and cheese? Golden, gooey, and delicious, add some grilled onions—just the way it should be. The fries are the perfect sidekick: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. And it’s not just about the food—the fun, talkative personalities behind the counter make every visit feel like a welcome experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, this place nails both the flavor and the vibe every time.

    I love having these guys just around the corner from me. I've only ever had their breakfast but they do a fantastic job. No frills, no Edison bulbs, no shiplap, no qr codes to scan for a menu, and frankly, I'm not even sure if they have a customer restroom. But if you want a bangin breakfast for less than ten bucks, this is your place!! My preferred order is as follows: order of biscuits and gravy, side of hash browns, side of two eggs. Biscuits ->eggs -> hash browns -> gravy, all in layers. You've got yourself a country skillet of sorts and you'll have barely crossed ten bucks for it. Note that they sell out of bacon EVERY day, so if you aren't there before ten, at the latest, forget it. No bacon for you. Regardless, everything I've ever had here has been good. Seating is often limited (don't let the unassuming exterior fool you--they stay busy!) and I recommend ordering to-go. I've never had success with them answering their phone, and I've never seen someone come in for a pickup order. The last time I was there and the phone was ringing off the hook, I heard one of the cooks/waitresses say that they would "start answering the phone around 11." Maybe that's it; they don't take pick-up orders for breakfast? Anyway, don't expect them to answer the phone here, lol.

    We had such a great time here! The staff and food are wonderful! The best fluffy pancakes I’ve seen in a long time. No wonder they made a movie about this neighborhood landmark. If you visit, try the cheeseburger omelette and the chicken mix-up Delicious

    Nice local dinner. Food was fast and pretty good. Very small location. Lucky for us only a couple other people were here.

    I've eaten in small diners like this, but, the "vibe" in here is palpable. Locals know this place, and the workers here know them. Great interaction. My breakfast was a scrambled egg, with ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, on whole wheat. Wow, great combo and taste. If you are looking for good, solid food, do this place In and out in less than 30 min. Loved the poster! Thanks
