Our family loves this comfortable friendly place for gatherings. The grandkids always want a plate of the delicious fries to start.

Large selection of diner food. We had burgers, they were good, not amazing. A little under seasoned, but I think generally thats how diner food is. The fries were absolutely delicious.Good place to go if you're hungry and the other restaurants around have long waits

Great service and delicious food! Hot cocoa with mile high whipped cream, avocado bacon omelette and corned beef hash were all amazing. Banana walnut bread like grandma used to make. Love the cafe booths - and fast service. Would definitely go back again!

Jen took great care of us. Love the açaí bowl! Outdoor seating is fantastic!

Thanks for a great thanksgiving Turkey dinner! Huge portions w all the fixings. Servers were on point and pleasant and the place was packed. Thank you for serving dinner to out of towners on a holiday

Tasty And classic decor

Stop for lunch with my daughter she likes their open face turkey sandwich, I had their house Burger over cooked as were the fries. Friendly service

The location is wonderful -- great for people (and car) watching. We may have hit it at an off hour (11am, between breakfast and lunch), but everything was EXTREMELY disappointing. We waited for about 45 minutes for the food to come out, and that was after waiting about 10 minutes for our server to come out and greet us, take our order, etc. That might have been fine if the food had been worth it. It wasn't. We got benedicts. The eggs were cooked solid. That is, no gooey, delicious yolk. ON A BENEDICT?! The hollandaise sauce was also poorly done. It tasted more like butter than like the rich, creamy heaven of hollandaise. I won't even comment on the burnt, thin, super salty and otherwise flavorless bacon (I guess I just commented). Soggy homefries. Very decent coffee. And, as my wife said, "Well, the ketchup is good."

Nice little family restuarant.. excellent service and food

Good food. Good service. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Very accommodating to our large family group.
