I had to kill some time, realized I was hangry! I stumbled across this quaint little place and I'm so happy I did. My fat self wanted biscuits and gravy which looked amazing. However my "it's almost summer" self decided on Avocado toast. It was absolutely delicious! Kiki-an adorable young gal who brightened my day was a wonderful server. I listened to her interactions with customers and everyone was laughing and smiling. It's mainly a breakfast and lunch place but they are open until 8:00 PM. I highly recommend this place.

Neat looking restaurant, but won't be back. The breakfast ham was very good, but our food didn't meet our average standards (asked for over medium & crispy bacon, got sunny side up, undercooked and limp). Then the smell from the bathroom traveled throughout the restaurant and it was unbearable. 15 minutes later, it was covered with a fog of floral air fresheners. Not sure if it was a customer mishap in the loo or a sewer problem. Either way, we won't be back.

Food is great but the place feels dirty and the service is not traditional. A lot of yelling and attention grabbing. Felt a bit weird.

Great bustling and busy lil cafe! Great selection of different breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all priced and portioned accordingly. Just a short walk southwest of the Metra station. Weekends are very busy, but we visited on a Friday afternoon about 4:30pm and was nearly empty. Great little nostalgic train restaurant.
