The food is always fresh, this place has a good extensive menu, always decently busy as it is a landmark for locals. Super low priced with good portions. Excellent service by all especially James and Jason are incredible! Open 24/7!

First time here. We visited during lunch hour do there was no waiting. Their menu is extensive and they have a little bit of everything. My husband ordered breakfast and I ordered a sandwich and both plates came out so delicious. Our waitress was nice and efficient and service was quick. We will definitely return soon.

Very cosy place, food was good. But it was VERY busy. We got a table in less than 10 minutes. Waitress was quite short to start with, but got better after a while. We tried the red velvet cake for dessert to share, and it was delicious.

I did my best to figure out what was in those utterly fantastic, stuffed mushrooms during my brief visit to your fair city. I even went there twice on the same day! Maybe you'd care to share a little about the sauce and stuffing. Best food of my trip!

Overall, we really enjoyed this diner because it had that old-school vibe and it stays open all night! The food was pretty good but the presentation felt like eating in a cafeteria. The service was speedy but the waitress we had was too rough with her approach, she almost seemed aggressive. That was strange but we adapted.
