This is the local breakfast café that you wish every neighborhood could have. Joe and his staff are phenomenal food is great the service is great and the prices are great. We frequent Joe’s several times a month and are never disappointed with our visit. At every single visit Joe comes out and says hello to every single table. This is amazing customer service and something that isn’t always seen at other restaurants. That type of interaction and appreciation for customers ensures loyal customers.This is a very popular breakfast place on Sundays. You should anticipate a wait if you do not get there by 9 AM. There is a single long bench for those that are waiting to be seated. And there’s a long bench outside of the restaurant. Due to the quick service the wait is relatively short considering the amount of guests that are waiting to be seated.

Great cafe! Food is on point! Hash browns and home fries have that nice griddle crust. After our initial visit, we had to go back 2 more times because my son just loved the crispy hash browns. Lunch was great too. Delicious gyro platter with crispy french fries. Both service and environment has the friendly family vibe. Food came out fast. So rare to find both excellent food and service these days. Wish they can open in NJ!

This place is always awesome. The owner walks around and makes sure everything is going as it should and is a very friendly guy and chats with customers as you dine. Staff is always friendly and helpful and the food, I have never left disappointed! The food is GREAT! If you are in the area you must check this place out!

Perfect breakfast spot after a long trip and it’s near to Dulles airport. Exceptional service and friendly atmosphere. We’ll be back! Love the banana pancakes ?

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious breakfast food! Been here 5 times and have no plans on stopping now ?

The owner greet you at the door! Nice guy great staff, great following! We loved the food. Great price they fed us well! Will definitely go again!

One of the best cafes around. Joe and co. are a great team from what I have observed from my many visits, providing superb service and consistently excellent food. Their Spanish breakfast dishes and pancakes are our go-to orders.

Food and service were excellent! Great, fun, family friendly atmosphere! Will definitely be back, highly recommend to all tourists and locals.

Best breakfast and lunch place in 120 miles. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. Joe, the owner, is outgoing and funny. When you're there, you feel like family. The fact that Joe knows so many of his diners by name (and profession) tells you a lot about this place. If you're anywhere in the area, this is the place to be. I was visiting from Florida and wouldn't hesitate to come back here if I was anywhere within driving distance. Cant' recommend it enough.

I ordered a tuna melt for lunch, and it smelled like old fish (poor quality tuna?). I know tuna is supposed to smell like fish, but this was gross. In addition, I was charged 7.99 plus tax, but the online menu advertises it for 6.99. So not only was the tuna to stinky to enjoy (I couldn't even finish the sandwich!), I was also charged more than they advertise.UPDATE YOUR ONLINE MENU!Not impressed.
