"With a well-designed commitment to a 1940s style and a menu of comfort food classics, this relatively new restaurant feels like a long-standing neighborhood diner. The diner opened in 2023 as the result of winning the grand prize of the Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway — a project realized by owners Aaron Lee and Mallory Gott. The lace-curtained, wallpapered room pours mismatched mugs of drip coffee and flips stacks of malted pancakes throughout the week; morning visits call for diner breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausage, and ham with hash browns and biscuits — plus a side of malted pancakes with strawberries for anyone with a sweet tooth. Afternoons shift into comfort foods: French dips on soft rolls with super tender pot roast and just a touch of horseradish; herby and lemony chicken salad scooped into sandwiches; and, for those skipping breakfast, a grilled cheese with a root beer float. The diner recently extended its weekend hours to accommodate later visits." - Janna Karel
