Pretty good diner. Food was quick to come out. I highly encorage to management to figure out a way to not send food out to the table as it’s prepared. Meaning, I received my food first then my partner received his 10 minutes later. No one in their right mind wants to eat a meal when only one person has theirs. I intentionally let my food sit there at my table for the 10 minutes it took for the other plate to come out, just so we can eat together. That means by the end of those 10 min, my plate was then cold. Please do better in this respect. No one likes to watch someone else eat and frankly I dont wanna be watched when the other person at my table is also hungry but only one person gets their food first and not the other. The food was not bad and it’s sad that the tip at the machine they bring to the table is automatically calculated at 25%. Let me choose my tip based on the service and quality of food. Don’t preemptively do this for all customers. 18, 20, 23, 25, 28 percent is reasonable for automatic selections. When I went to change my top from 25 to 20 manually, the server hoovers over you and it’s just unnecessary.

First time coming here, the place is decent, atmosphere is definitely family friendly, and pricing is reasonable. The biggest highlight is their PANCAKES ?, the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had. I would definitely come again.

I have been eating here for over 7 years, and the food never disappoints. The staff are so friendly, and the wait is never long. I ordered breakfast this time around, and it was delicious! Eggs were fluffy, and I love my waffles each time!

My wife and I have wanted to come here for awhile since we passed it all the time and we finally had the opportunity to go. While the diner feel is there, food is decent, and the place was clean/comfortable, the prices are simply out of the question. Yes, prices are rising, but the quality to price ratio is unbalanced. It seemed to be reasonably priced a few years ago based on reviews I read.Another negative aspect to my experience was the waitress we had. Very disappointing and uncomfortable. Where’s the southern charm that you expect in a diner?Overall, I don’t think I will come back but if you don’t care how much you want to spend on a meal, stop by and give it a try. I would recommend the French toast.

I am very demanding when it comes to eating something. I have visited some places including IHop because it caught my attention to come to this dinner. I can say with certainty that this breakfast is a 10 out of 10. I loved the unique flavor that I really finished with great pleasure. Their coffee is incredible, I recommend it, if you like good things, this place is perfect for you ?
