☕️ olearyDecember 16, 2014What a dish! Double egg Sammy w/ CRISPY fries. Grilled rye bread w/ mayo. BIG place that has a classic feel. A true gem on S Grand.

Gregory EdwardFebruary 21, 2015Breakfast is always good, but if you want something different go with the the Cuban, chicken strips with white gravy or the hamburgers, they are solid.

Cecilia HarrisMarch 26, 2017This is a local diner with staff doing their best. The floors are dirty and they probably have issues with inspections. However, I had the cod sandwich with coffee and it was great.UpvoteDownvote

A walk back in time! Great retro diner. Food is okay but breakfast is great.UpvoteDownvote- Michael WallaceJanuary 6, 2018Part 3 - She told us “yeah the new owners are Arab and they aren’t going to do that”. I’m not sure what being Arab has to do with it, but it’s a poor way to run a business.UpvoteDownvote
