    Great food, good coffee, all top notch diner fare. Challah French toast a knock-out. Small space, so the rush might get tight. Adorable setting, authentic not kitschy.

    Excellent service. Food not earth shattering, but menu is extensive and execution of classic and not-so-classic diner fare was on point! New Orleans Skillet was good, special shiitake omelette also.

    This '40s-era dining car is as quaint and old school as they come. The milkshakes are phenomenal, and each month you’ll find a new special on the menu. Order it. Read more

    Great burgers, milkshakes, and sweet potato fries. The fries aren't salted or sugared so you can enjoy pure yam goodness.

    On the special menu, there is French toast stuffed with fruit. Bananas, strawberries and blackberries. It is phenomenal.

    If you like chocolate, get the chocolate shake with chocolate ice cream. They actually make it WITH chocolate ice cream! So good!
