    What a great place. Family-owned, clean but decorated like it was the 70s. We ate lunch and breakfast and weren't disappointed. The waitresses are real personalities. Nice clientele.

    If you work all night long and want to have a beer with your breakfast, this is the place to go. You can even get some pork chops at 6am...

    They have every type of eggs Benedict, all of them are great! Portions are huge so make sure you some hungry and leave enough time for a nap when you leave.

    Meal was typical of ihop, Denny's etc.. Not sure if I wanna pay $5.00 for a shake though. It was a nice size crowd & the traffic flow stayed steady. ⭐⭐⭐

    Waffle was good. But the bacon was so fatty, it was barely edible. The hash browns tasted the way propane smells.

    Linguica sausage seems to be their unique offering. Pretty good on Eggs Benedict. Breakfast was overall good but not special.
