The outside of this neighborhood breakfast spot is nothing to brag about. But the service is great. I was greeted by a very friendly waitress, and you could hear her talking to her customers about her day, which made you feel welcome and gave a personal touch to the place. I ordered a Cali Benedict (which includes avocado), with a side pancake (it wasn't a side in the menu, but my waitress gave me the option). The eggs were perfectly poached, and the hash browns were not overly fried and cooked just right. A lot of restaurants burn their hash browns. The avocado was not ripe, it was a little too hard. The pancake was fluffy and decent. Overall, a good and friendly breakfast place.

Great food, super fast, reasonably priced. Best part is the staff--they are absolutely lovely and treat everyone like family. Perfect breakfast/brunch spot with a of history!

Stopped in to try breakfast. I got a scramble. They forgot to add cheese and everything was separate. My order was more like diced sausage and eggs with potatoes. Oh well. The food wasn't horrible, I ate most of it but it wasn't really what I ordered.

The mood here is always very relaxed and homey. The waiters treat you like family and it's always very fun. The food is delicious. I would recommend the chocolate pancakes if you have a sweet tooth, and everything else is a decent option. The place is definitely one of my go tos and consistently delivers. I would definitely recommend!

Although I ate here today with 4 other co-workers, I am only going to comment about my food. (The other 4 seemed to enjoy their meals). I will say, the service was excellent. As I wasn't too hungry, I decided to have one of their half-sandwich specials. I had the soup of the day (chicken vegetable) and a half of a patty melt. I will say the cup of soup was quite tasty. But the patty melt? YUCK! I ordered it medium. I had a dry brick of a hamburger patty, I'm not sure there was even cheese on the sandwich, the onions were RAW, not cooked, and there was no sauce on the patty melt. I've had plenty of patty melts in my time and this one ranks as the worst, for sure.

Love the simple atmosphere here. It's not loud, full of working class folk. The most expensive item I saw, I think, was $21-22$, for NY steak and eggs.There are a lot of choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch. They also have a senior and kids menu.Service was a tad slow, but they kept me updated the whole time, and whenever I asked or addressed something, they took care of it immediately. Super attentive people!Next time I come here, I'll post some pics.Parking: Small plaza parking.Kid-friendliness: The have a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, all flat, they can move tables and chairs to accomodate you.

We decided to try it based on the pretty good Yelp reviews but everything about our experience was supremely average. The service was okay. The food was blah. The prices were as high as everywhere else. The value wasn't there.

Inexpensive food and great old-school service although the ambiance is sortof gray inside. However, for the price, it’s a decent place to get fed. Really quick service.
This place is a hidden gem. They have a small aithentic menu with wonderful service. The back patio is a great place to relax under the large tree and have a coffee.

A mom & pop type breakfast and lunch diner with inside & outside tables and counter seating. Huge menu to choose from. Good coffee.
