White Chantilly cake was a wonderful, light last minute birthday cake. The pink one has buttercream and the white has whipped. I didn’t realize it contained a custard layer inside. Everyone enjoyed it.

Better get there early this place fills up fast. This is standard American cuisine, no frills - eat-and-git. Carol was my server did good job making sure the coffee was filled. The eggs and hash browns were very good. The bacon for my tastes was over cooked and dry, the biscuits and gravy was (personally) a bit bland. I think I would have been better off with just the biscuits without the gravy as the texture and flavor seen right on. Coffee was strong but not put hair on your chest strong.

Classic diner, amazing food good prices, and the bakery goods are unbelievable! No, we had eggs and split biscuits and gravy quite possibly the best ever.

Nice ambiance and very retro look to this classic diner. The food was good. I had the daily special. Some white sauce ontop of toast and some minced meet. Other guests recommended to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it more palatable. I think I am okay if I only have this once in my life. The bakery section was fantastic and everyone enjoyed the danishes we bought. Would recommend the place, just stay with the regular breakfast menu items.

OMG this place was a little bit nostalgia paired with beautiful bakery goods and a fantastic old style diner with a little ‘greasy spoon’ (well broken in grill)…. Waitstaff was on point and makes me miss my favorite spot back home that closed after a lifetime of feeding the community…. The roots run deep here and I’m glad we found it!
