If you want to delicious old school retro diner in the heart of Golden Hills, you've come to the right place. It was our first time and this place has an Art Deco vibe from the outside. The waitress pointed us to a booth and it was so close that our knees were touching. We asked to move but the waitress pushed the table which somehow created a bit more room for us. It worked well enough. I have to say that the food was really tasty. Probably the best turkey melt and fries I've ever had, and that's saying something. There's a sign on the wall that says that the movie K9 was filmed here in 1988 and a photo of John Stamos is beside it, both of which were interesting. Also, a few doors down is a fantastic Mexican bakery. The drawbacks to this restaurant are that the decor needs revising and there are all these signs up saying that you can't stay longer than 90 minutes (crossed out, now 60 minutes!). We weren't going to linger but sheesh, are we being timed? Overall, we'll be back for the good food and we'll ask for a more comfortable table. Enjoy!

Good, quick and excelent service.Be aware if you get at 1:30 they'll tell that is close. So they should put on their schedule 1:30 not 2. Coming from to far is disappointing I only need 15 minutes to eat my food. So 1 star down.

The food was amazing, the customer service was fantastic. The food quality, and time efficiency just made it an overall great experience. Mom & Pop shops are the way to go.

The need to invest in new plates and cups. The cups are very foggy from how old they are. The coffee cups are all very different. The food is mediocre, not a lot of flavor. I tried rhis place since it was local and it seemed busy. I wouldn't go again....
