Customer Reviews
The service to start was on point. I had the breakfast skillet which was good. All the food was seasoned well. My son loved the fruity pebbles pancakes and the caramel latte was smooth. The place has great pastries while you wait or grab in the way out. Great spot for family breakfast.
Found hair in our food, and instead of apologizing, staff blamed us, got offended/aggressive, accused us of putting our own hair in food and started an argument. The negative reviews are true, and now we know why. The staff and management were rude, condescending and insulting. Felt some racist undertones and judgment. Very disappointing. If the kitchen makes a mistake, don’t blame the customers/accuse them of putting hair in their own food. The hair was actually under the food and was only found near the end of the meal. Mistakes happen, but we’ve never had a manager respond so poorly to one. The food was also disappointing — it tasted like leftovers. There are many better diners nearby where the food and service are much better.
Very nice local diner. They serve alcohol and have a great dessert menu. I usually get the chicken Italiano Panini. Update had chicken Caesar salad sandwich - a special. It was very good
**Attention: PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE NOT WELCOME HERE** Came in for breakfast and requested a booth. An older (maybe 50) male maitre d decided that he deserved to be seated where he wanted to seat us instead. He gave us the most disgusting look I’ve ever seen from a person in service. We kindly reminded him, “hey, we requested a booth”, again, same disgusting look. I was honestly appalled. I’ve never felt so disregarded. We should’ve left but we stayed. I continued to watch his interactions with the other customers who weren’t of color and he was extensively kind, generous, and even sat them in a booth without hesitation. My family has been here in the past and we’ve seen this guy as he’s usually there on the Saturdays. We’ll never be back again.
After seeing a YT video recommending the Baklava cheesecake, I had to make the trip and try it....and it was well worth it! My first time here - had a relaxing meal on a nice Sunday afternoon. The Fatty Melt was pretty good. Just my personal preference-- wish there was more burger patty ratio with all that grilled cheese taking over. Fries were not too bad. IMO was better when dipped in their gravy. (Good thing I requested some on the side) I thought their gravy was seasoned real nice!
