★★★★★ 5.0 Kyra Tillman · Aug 2025

Friendly service, clean facility, welcoming atmosphere and plain old good food. We stopped in for breakfast and even though there was only 1 server and lots of tables were full, she never missed a beat. We were greeted promptly and with a smile, our coffee was always full and the food arrived quickly and was delicious. Couldn't ask for more. We will certainly be back.

Food is always made fresh and delicious. Wait staff is always friendly. Bathrooms are clean and freshly renovated. In fact it appears they are working on renovating the whole place since acquiring it. The Chicken Cordon Bleu soup is wonderful. Can only get it on Mondays. Never a disappointment.

Let me first start by telling you that the service and the food are absolutely fantastic! A great family restaurant where they actually refer to you by name which is unheard of nowadays! Everyone is so friendly and it is definitely the place to go! My absolute Philly beef on the planet! Great job you guys thank you for being so nice and always giving such great service and great food! It's so nice coming in to see all of you! And every time I leave when I get to the door I say as loud as I can goodbye everybody! Always smiles and goodbyes from everyone in the restaurant just like we are all friends! Amazing environment! You don't want to miss this restaurant

This is not a fancy restaurant, but it's great for breakfast and lunch! Every time I've gone there with my family, we've always had excellent service and the food is always delicious!! It is a family run business and the ladies working there are always very sweet and attentive.
