Try the veggie burger with sweet potato fries - Yum!
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014
If you like cheap food covered in chocolate or maple syrup I suppose you'll be right at home. Too bizarre for my tastes however. Go to a real restaurant.

Amazing Home Fries
Sarri HarperJune 19, 2013
The best blue plate specials!
Loren FinkelsteinNovember 3, 2013
Found the food to be poorly prepared. "Banana Pancakes" does not mean plain pancakes with an unripe banana sliced and thrown on top. And Eggs Benedict can't be served over cooked.
Rebecca WSeptember 11, 2013
Been here 5+ times
They are still cash only after renovating and the food isn't nearly as good as it used to be. I sadly won't be eating here very often anymore.

Try the home fries, they're the best I've had personally. Ask for extra onions!
