"I went here with my grandparents when I was a kid. Now I’m a Dad and in my early 40’s. This place is fantastic. It is easily the best dinner going around. Everything is fresh. The food is consistent. The burgers a big. The French Dip is excellent and so is the soup. Breakfast is good there anytime. The waitstaff is super nice. Check it out."

"OMG I love this place. It's a cozy little place..I've been there a few times mostly for breakfast and sometimes for lunch. The service is good. You can tell the food is good because you have to go on the "in between times". Either real early or a little later than traditional eating hours. There have been times we just have to keep driving because it is so packed. It's nothing fancy but it's clean and the food is reasonable and delicious."

"Very homey place. Just a good, classic diner. Loved the sweet potato fries."

"First time visiting since they renovated last year. The food is solid and reasonably priced. I got a waffle combo with the ham swapped for corne beef hash and it was great value for about $13 (slight upcharge for getting corned beef hash instead of ham)"

"New to the neighborhood, I was attracted to the “family restaurant” slogan when I was passing by, and decide to give a try. Apart pastrami taste bit sour, everything else is what you’d expect from a Diner. My waitress was kind enough to remove the pastrami from my check, but that’s the good part ends. First, when I told my waitress the pastrami is sour, she explained this is fresh from this morning, which is understandable explanation. She then added “it’s what pastrami smells like”, that’s really annoyed me. Maybe it’s my oriental face hide the fact that I am an regular pastrami eater, or maybe the KATZ’s Deli in city did a horrible job for their pastrami, so I couldn’t judge this “traditional pastrami” correctly. Hey, I might be wrong. After all, we are not here to have michelin star dinner, we are here because it’s lovely warm neighborhood diner restaurant. Or is it? I guess my dinner timing was bad, every staff was either eating their dinner, or counting down the minutes for the closing time, not single person bothered to refill my water(I was having 6+ staff around me). Perhaps since I’m alone, my check won’t generate good tips. I am feeling invisibly in this restaurant, and basically I feel like I am in a emotionless fast food store, chain restaurant, IHOP or McDonald, anything but a “family restaurant”. I was so bored, I start to watching my phone, just to see how soon anyone could ask me if I need help or check, finally I got my check after 20 mins of wondering around, I put my credit card on the check, 10 mins later, nobody picks it up. I was bit frustrating, I was about to call my waitress, then I saw the “self check out” option, I guess nobody bothered to explain that to me. So I paid by my phone, run out of this “warm neighborhood restaurant” as quick as I can. BTW, I gave 40% tips because I don’t want to own the restaurant any money for that sour pastrami, not because the “warmth family restaurant feeling” my waitress left to me."
