It was our first time here back in May and it was so delicious! A friend recommended it to us. I had a build your own breakfast platter and the price was super cheap for how much food I got. I wish I could remember the server's name but he was patient and super nice and silly. Thank you for the awesome experience!

The absolute worst service a person could ask for. Not only was the food cold and tasteless, the server had no concern about how I felt as a consumer or just as a person. The place is very out of date I visited due to the great reviews then thought they cant be speaking of this location. Regardless I say spend you money elsewhere THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BE.

The food was mediocre. I ordered the chicken, eggs, and waffles. It was very bland. I can make better tasting food at home. Also for almost $12 the portions are despicable. I will not be going back! I have uploaded a pic of the supposed to be chicken strips. The service however, was ok.

Pros: - great veggie toasted bagel - biscuits were good - so cheap! Cons: - spuds were meh We got to sit outside, the waitress took our orders promptly, and we got our food quickly. The bagel didn't have as much cream cheese as I was expecting but it was still surprisingly good. Our total was under $15 for two people, great deal for the price.

I have tried this place on/off for the past year. When it is good, the food is delicious and the décor works well. The staff can be friendly and welcoming which creates the diner atmosphere their marketing implies. The problem is inconsistency. I have ordered the same dish four times to varying result: Waffle extra dark Bacon Eggs medium well I have received an undercooked waffle once. Regular once and extra dark twice. My eggs have come out medium well once. They've either been completely well done (twice) or nearly over easy once. I would rate five if it weren't for inconsistency and cash only.

Food was average/good (depending on what we ate). Worse service I have ever experienced. First time in my life I didn't tip. He maybe came by two total times including our order. To be fair a lot of the other servers were attentive to their customers but we didn't seem to be lucky.

I absolutely love coming here for breakfast/lunch. The staff is great and the food is even better. I usually get the Heap but now I'm head over hills in love with the Yukon omelette. It comes with smoked salmon, cream cheese and spinach! HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH! I can't even contain myself. I devour it! Hahaha. And I love their peach preserve for the biscuit. Simply awesome

I had an omelette with cheddar cheese brocolli and mushroom .. It was dry. The waffle was pretty tasty though. The atmosphere is very good. Everyone is nice and it looks like a very busy place. Cash Only. I'd give them another try.
