Quick to turn tables as there are a lot of people waiting to get a table.Upvote9Downvote- Tony GarciaSeptember 29, 2013California omelette was delicious !

Eden EssJune 23, 2023The chocolate pancakes actually have chocolate in the batter and chocolate chips! The fried chicken and waffles is a huge portion and the chicken batter is amazing!

Zafer KilicJune 11, 2015Linguica omlet is awesome. Portugal sausage has a nice and salty flavor. You can order it with toast. Pancakes a little bit tasty for it.

Carrie WFebruary 5, 2014Veggie omelette comes with half an avocado, hash browns, and two pancakes. Opt for Swedish pancakes with lingonberry butter, no syrup needed. Yum.UpvoteDownvote

MatApril 30, 2019I came during the week so no wait but wow, this place is like walking into a bygone era. Even the artwork is old timey. Coffee is horrible but the pancakes are good.

Sophia P.June 26, 2017Came highly recommended but I'm pretty sure my scrambled eggs were prepared en masse earlier. Buttermilk pancakes were lukewarm and a little rubbery.UpvoteDownvote
