If you're looking for a cozy diner with classic home-cooked dishes, look no further! Dave's has the kind of breakfast plates your gramma would make on Saturday mornings; mounds of crispy, butter-loaded hashbrowns, crisp bacon, and eggs any way you like. Food that sticks to your ribs! Their coffee is just as delicious. Service is friendly, helpful and attentive. You will not leave disappointed!

★★★★★ 5.0 Lukas Huth · Jan 2026

This place is a very lovely diner style restaurant! The staff is very kind, everyone was greeted as they came inside, and the food was amazing! The atmosphere feels like a throwback to the past, giving a small town feel, when things weren't oversaturated by the internet, and it was honestly very refreshing! The portion sizes were really good! I definitely felt like the prices were worth it! The only thing I would complain about is that the water cup sizes are a bit smaller than I'd like, but the waitress was very on top of making sure the cups were refilled as needed, so it wasn't that much of an issue for me!

Stopped in for breakfast on Saturday. I was immediately greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I ordered a house special with chorizo and potatoes plus tortillas (4). Also came with salsa. It was awesome. I highly recommend this breakfast dish. This was my first time here, but I will be back.

I liked the omelette I ordered. The hash browns were kind of bitter and had no flavor. The staff seem very busy but the service was still good. Four stars might be a little generous I think I'd go with 3.5 if I could.

Absolutely delicious!!! The Mexican omelette is to die for! Ribeye and eggs ...yum! And the service can't be beat!
