    Good diner breakfast, I go when I’m in the mood for a big comfort meal. Inexpensive for the amount of food. Very kind service. Lots of coffee refills. The interior is fairly plain but cozy enough for the diner experience.

    La comida es muy buena, lástima la señora que atiende, cuando ve personas hispanas no es nada amable, todo lo contrario sucede con el resto de clientes, lástima que en los tiempos actuales el racismo siga pesando. Valga aclarar que solo es la mesera que atiende entre semana por las mañanas, ya que en otras ocasiones las señoritas que nos han atendido han sido muy amables.

    I’m not kidding I’ve lived here for 7 yrs and every time i wanna give this place a chance I’m disappointed. Waste of money of the worst food imaginable and so overpriced. Do yourself a favor and go to any deli around the corner.

    DO NOT GO BETWEEN 5:50am-6:30am!!!!! Full disclosure: I’m writing this while hangry. Anyway, I’ve been here a few times. Food is fine - after drinking, average diner quality. Had AMAZING service last time I came, TERRIBLE service this time. I walked in around 5:55am, was greeted immediately, and then promptly informed that they couldn’t take my order. The reason given was that the current waiter was leaving (assuming his shift ends at 6am) and no one would “give me my food”. I asked about the chef, about the kitchen staff, explained that I wasn’t dining in but taking food to go, and attempted asking if he’d just enter my to-go order real quick (I’m VERY HUNGRY and set on grits & eggs). As I’m looking for compromises, what appears to be the waiter’s friend walks through the door. They share a cute greeting, and he continues explaining that he can’t (“can’t”😑) take the order and that I have the option wait for the next waiter to arrive. Oh, but also, he doesn’t know when she’s coming cause she’s always late and it could be ANYWHERE FROM FIVE TO FORTY MINUTES. When I express how ridiculous it is that they say 24hrs but aren’t really, his response is, “yea, the owner knows all about it🤷‍♂️.” He and his friend proceed to walk out the door and down the block gleefully… I feel bamboozled, hangry, and like I could throw salt in their eyes. In summary: Dont come here during the times listed above. Otherwise, could be okay.
