it's a 1940s diner. Great burgers, incredible apple pie. tip: it gets crowded fast. for lunch at noon, be there by 11:40. once you order, expect a 30-minute wait for the food. but, hey, it's a great place. and save room for pie.

The food that we had is really good and by giving that comment, i am very sure that what ever they have in their menu are all really good. The vibes is uplifting. People are nice and servers are all nice, helpful and very respectful. They are not those kind of servers in the other restaurant who is just after and all know is just their tips. Their vintage jukebox is awesome had played several songs from it. That you guys should try

The Caribbean French toast is a must: amazing French toast with delicious coconut all over. Great place, staff, atmosphere.

I went there today. Upon finishing my meal I ordered a slice of pie to go. My partner noticed the waitress looked at the pie strangely and inspected it, as she prepared it in a to-go box. We didn’t think much of it at the time, but when we got home we noticed the pie had mold. A noticeable amount of mold. I’m so disappointed in the staff. They willingly and with full knowledge served us a pie with mold. Now this makes me think they must do this all the time. I will report them, they need to be checked for cleanliness, and the quality of service they provide their costumers. I called to make sure they take the pie off the shelf but I go no answer. I wish more people would take price in the work they provide. How can someone serve moldy food to others. So disgusting and unethical.

I did not enjoy my Belgian waffle. It did not taste like a Belgian waffle. It was not crispy. It was fluffy and tasted like a premix. And it cost $20+ tip. I won’t be back.

Tired of salads? Head over to Palo Alto’s good old fashioned neighborhood diner. Don’t miss out on their specialty homemade pies piled high with fruit along with a flaky crust, all made with simple baking ingredients. Service is very friendly and efficient.

I wasn't gonna leave this review but one of the staff was rude. We haven't seen our mom in a while. So we took her out to one of our favorite spot. Now I don't know anymore. I get you guys are closed at 9pm. One of Busser or server said "YALL NEED ANYTHING WE CLOSE!!!!" Which was rude. Will never come back. "Our server was great"

They have the best milkshakes! Super thick, real ice cream, and they have a great selection of flavors! I get chocolate-chocolate (chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup), and my daughter usually gets a peppermint fudge ripple milkshake. They also have great American diner food. I really like their Texas beef and black bean chili. Very tasty and not very spicy, topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream. Yum! We also like the French toast, club sandwiches, and the atomic burgers. And now they have a nice patio/deck area outside in the street because of the pandemic.
