★★★★★ 5.0 Angela Wang · Dec 2025

Small mom and pop diner. Great food. Great staffs. Philly cheesesteak- beef was soft and flavorful. Trash can with a lid (2 eggs over easy) - comes with spicy sausages. Philly omelette- very good but I wish I order it with 2 eggs over easy or sunny side up instead. Loved the biscuit. Also very but but the Philly cheesesteak and Trash Can with a lid stole the thunder. So so good, we return the next day. And I got the Trash can with a lid with both spicy sausages and Philly cheese. Yummy!

We stopped in before heading back home. Great service and food. Small but cozy. I had the omelette and it was delicious

Small mom and pop type restaurant. We went during breakfast. We had a great experience! The service and food were great! It’s also in a great area for walking and shopping. I had half a trash can. My wife had a ham and cheese omelette. Both were delicious. I want to go back during lunch and try a Philly cheesesteak! Definitely worth trying!

It’s a small diner with amazing people that work here. They were so sweet to my husband and I … felt like they knew us. Owner came from behind the counter to make himself known and when we left he remembered our names. I love places like this. We will be back. The Philly-chicken was superb along with the onion rings… my husband enjoyed his meal as well. Small hole in the wall but the best customer service and the meal was amazing! ❤️

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joe Noble · Jan 2026

Cool little spot. The food was good nothing superb or out of ordinary. The folks were nice. We had issues with reusing butter that went to the table, was unused,and then added back to the unused butter container. Watched same waitress drop paper wrapped straws and serve them to customers. I realize this may not be an issue for some. For me I know it's not good practice and gives me concern about what unhealthy practices might be happening that I dont see. So eat at your own risk.
