Customer Reviews

"Great and reliable breakfast! We came for an early Sunday breakfast and were glad to see there wasn't a wait. Speedy and friendly service as well. The menu has a lot of great options for omelets, pancakes, French toast, Egg Benedict, etc. I got the Mexican omlett with avocado and bacon on the side added. It was delicious and side order of bacon comes with a lot! I also like that the home fries had sliced cuts of potatoes instead of just cubed. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend for a tasty breakfast!"

"We had a lunch here with a big group of people. They gave us a private room. Servers were prompt with getting our orders. Food came out quickly and everyone liked what they got. Diner style restaurant. They have a lot of Greek options too. Their chicken salad and potato salad was very tasty!"

- Lynne A.

"We had a terrific breakfast/lunch. The matzoh ball soup had excellent flavor. It was the ball and broth. Sometimes places give a little vegetables and chicken, but this was not the case for the cup. I had the Greek salad with grilled chicken and my son had a Hungry man with waffle. I would come back for sure. This is a classic diner setting, clean, friendly, excellent service. The tzatziki sauce was terrific, and the dressing was real, not bottled. I highly recommend supporting this family owned traditional business."

"Lovely Mother's Day brunch with Jil. I had a Mexican omelette with sausage with hashbrowns (needed salt) and rye toast (perfectly buttered, reminded me of Rein's). The coffee was above average diner coffee. I liked the terrazzo bathroom sink and 80s hand dryer."
