Came here as part of an Instagram collaboration, so we got to try a variety of dishes! Their menu is extensive with tons of breakfast items, but also a variety of lunch options featuring American, Mexican, and Italian flavors. We tried the Friends breakfast combo special (with the funky monkey pancakes), corn beef and eggs, Florentine scramble, albacore tuna salad, and the wild turkey sandwich. My favorite was the funky monkey pancakes! The pancakes were thick, soft, and fluffy and had a great banana and chocolate flavor! It was sweet and salty with the syrup and butter! I also enjoyed the Florentine scramble! It was super cheesy and savory! The albacore tuna salad was also light and refreshing and presented so nicely! Our waitress was super friendly (definitely living up to the name of the restaurant!). She checked in on us multiple times. The ambiance is super cute and casual and had a nice diner feel. This place satisfied my brunch cravings and exceeded my expectations!

We've been coming here a couple times a week for dinner. We love the variety offered on their menu. My husband especially likes the seafood combo. Tonight we tried the French Dip and Shrimp Alfredo. Both were excellent! The people are always really friendly, and it's really quiet in the evening.

Really swell spot for family breakfast. Friendly staff (no pun intended) who checked on us frequently (but not to the point of interruption). Were I to go back soon, I think I’d try the cinnamon roll French toast or a breakfast burrito, but the tuna melt and chili sounded too enticing. I was quite satisfied with my order, and the experience as a whole. Comfortable booths, clean bathrooms, jovial customers, and cheesecake that I…exerted significant willpower to skip!

We stopped in on a Sunday for a lunch. They have a huge menu with lots of options. BarBque chicken sandwich. The sandwich was bland and the salad was really disappointing. Their onion rings were great. My dad enjoy his chicken fried steak, he just wish there was a bit more gravy.

Overall one of the best restaurants to eat and also great value for money . Lunch was great , red sauce macaroni with roasted chicken was exceptional , and also we took broccoli soup with garlic bread which we loved a lot ( it was creamy and delicious) , onion rings were great , Tacos better than any Mexican restaurant I have went before . Pancakes are also the best that I had ever . The ingredients are really well measured . The menu has more than 100 types of dishes ( great variety) . The staff is very friendly and the service is really quick . Atmosphere is generally very nice. I will definitely come again and again as I loved the place .

Food; breakfast burrito was great. In the future I would like to have the hash browns on the side, because they are a filler and cover the taste of the burrito. Service: perfect! Atmosphere: This business includes a bar so just be prepared for noise, or bring earbuds.

My bf found this restaurant on maps while searching for something to eat. At first, we were confused because maps took us to a Jack in the Box, but I figured it might be located near the shopping center behind the Jack in the Box. I was worried because when we got there it was completely empty, but the food turned out to be amazing. The staff was so attentive and helpful from the start. I ended up having the spaghetti in meat sauce, which came with mini garlic bread on the side, and my boyfriend the French dip. The onion rings that came with the sandwich were freshly made and big, and the ranch was homemade. I was concerned about my spaghetti because the sauce didn't look red, but it was amazing. It was as good as the one from the Old Spaghetti Factory less the cost! I highly recommend this place for its delicious food, affordability, customer service, and variety. Our tab came out to less than $35 for our large portions of food. We'll definitely be coming back.

The service is amazing here I just thought the Penne Alla Vodka had a little too much oil in the sauce which made it too heavy other than it was good. We also came at a weird time because no one was hardly there. Anyway I gave it a four star because the pasta wasn't bad but I would give a five star if it had less oil in it. But another reason why I gave them a four star is because I haven't tried the other foods on their menu so it seemed more fair to give a four star.
