“ Very friendly restaurant with excellent food and service! George, the owner, is such a sweetheart—our son loves him! We always order the scrambled eggs with potatoes, peppers, onions, and white toast, plus a pancake for the kid. The coffee is great too! It’s a cozy neighborhood spot, so it does get busy on weekends, but the wait is never too long and always worth it. Highly recommend, and we’ll keep coming back! ”
“ Had the best breakfast here the other day…. Not only was the food incredible, but the service was amazing. Thank you Debbie for making the experience for me and my kids the best! She made sure the kids had their food right away and made the whole experience fun for them and they’re already begging to go back! Can’t wait to go again ”
“ This is a small, cozy, well run coffee shop that is often packed with locals who know the staff and menu long before they walk in the door. The menu is small and fairly basic, but everything is very fresh and well made. Great coffee, french fries and sandwiches! The turkey-bacon BLT on rye is a personal favorite, but they also have great corned beef & pastrami as well as the expected ‘egg-pertise’ to be a great place for breakfast! Expect a bit of a wait around breakfast time & lunch on weekends. After dozens of meals here we have never left disappointed! ”
“ It's a popular neighborhood diner that serves delicious food with excellent service and reasonable prices. I tried their chicken soup and rice with mushrooms and sausages, and they were flavorful and satisfying. The portion size was quite generous as well. I definitely plan on visiting the place again when I'm in the area. ”
“ Great place! The food is delicious, friendly staff, really clean place. It feels cozy and chill, I like the interiors very much. Considering that the pricing range is on a lower side, it’s definitely the go-to place. Thank you guys for your outstanding hospitality! ”
