Been coming here a few years. They never dissapoint. I'm particular about my over easy eggs and they make them perfect. The staff is very friendly and some waitresses actually remember my order and ask if it's the usual. I love this place.

We waited outside in the heat to wait on our table. The staff that greeted us were the sweetest staff I’ve ever met. Once we sat down we waited for service after watching two other tables of 6 to be served drinks and orders taking before we were even acknowledged. I asked for the manager whose name is George. He had a really ignorant reason on why we were ignored for 30 minutes. And said there was nothing he can do. As a manager you should be willing to do whatever to accommodate our reasons of disrespect. I’m still livid.

This place is waaaaaaayyyyyyy overrated. Snarky hostess (long brown hair) who was completely inconsistent and mildly rude (but hey may be the norm for this area). The server was very pleasant and helpful. The food was ok. It is not at all 5⭐...unless the other places are that terrible. Not sure? But definitely not 5⭐

I was so looking forward to the meal based on good reviews. Our meal fell short for sure. Toast was so hard you could not break it in half! Eggs and other sandwiches seemed to be reheated in the microwave. Oatmeal served cold without brown sugar, etc. The location is great. Prices are reasonable. May try again?

I loved the nostalgic atmosphere of this place. The staff was friendly and terrific. Also, the French Toast had me dancing in my chair. Highly recommend ?

Typical diner feel. It was very busy but they take your name and call or text you when your table is ready. Our waitress, Shannon, was excellent. Our food was taking a very long time but she kept us informed and let us know the kitchen was running behind. Prices are decent but I have to admit, my steak and cheese sandwich fell flat. There was hardly any meat or cheese. The bread was good though. My friend had the pancake combo. She did not like the bacon. The pancakes are HUGE and heavy. She had a coffee to drink and I had the Uncle Sam Irish coffee. The flavor was perfect and just a hint of bourbon.Park on the street or in a garage. They do not have their own parking lot and you will get towed if you park in the one beside the building. Overall, slightly disappointed in the food but Shannon was fabulous.

(They deleted it for the 4th time) but now I’m taking this to social media. This place is Terrible. If 0 stars was a thing I’d leave 0. (PICTURE ATTACHED OF WHAT SHE CLAIMS IS SCRAMBLED AND FRENCH FRIES) we asked for scrambled eggs and French fries to go with our sandwich. We received our food and I politely told our waitress we had asked for scrambled not over hard. And we also asked for FRENCH fries. She INSISTED that these are scrambled and these are French fries. And “y’all got what you asked for” now that the vibe is off I asked her if we can just pay for our drinks and not the food that we did not touch. She rudely says “EXCUSE ME ?” And I said may we please pay for the drinks and she ended up getting a manager and he did what we asked. AS WE ARE PAYING AND LEAVING we hear them talking about us in the kitchen which is in the back and we are IN THE FRONT. So I said to my friend “do u hear them?” And the host gets into my conversation and says “that’s what happens when people like you order food just to not pay for it.” Even though we did not touch it. Very unprofessional and luckily I am a better person than these people so I politely paid and left. 0/10 I’d hate to say it’s because we are younger and look different than everyone in the establishment but I’m not that person. I was kind and respectful and I don’t know if they assumed we wouldn’t tip? But we always do 25% and up. I am a server my damn self . never again

Extremely unprofessional! Do not waste your time or money on this establishment. They clearly need proper training on how to communicate with customers. Spend your money elsewhere please!

Nice restaurant. Clean and pretty quick. The menu was okay. The waffles were good, but I thought the bacon was not as tasty as I hoped. The staff is very nice. I thought it was a little pricey compared to comparable establishments. Park on the side streets or pay lots. DO NOT park in the lot to the right. It belongs to a hotel and you will be towed. We watched them tow 2 cars. I think they have them on speed dial.
