Their sign says "best breakfast in town". 100% correct. Amazing food that has a true homemade taste. I haven't had my mom's cooking in years and it almost brought me to tears how similar it tasted. They use extra large eggs, food comes out piping hot and fresh. Lots of options for your sides, they do have grits! Plenty of entrees to choose from. Pitas, gyros, subs & clubs, breakfast, etc. Great prices, you get plenty of food for what you pay for and it's absolutely worth it. If you're able to, paying with cash helps them keep prices low. Atmosphere is amazing, it's so hard to find a comforting family diner experience. Nowadays everything is loud, cold and corporate. I felt transported to my childhood here. Now that we've discovered this gem my partner and I aren't going anywhere else f

What a fantastic experience! It was super busy and the place was bustling. The waitress what phenomenal and made our day! We had a gyro omelette and the golden egg special. Everything was DELICIOUS! Great way to end our vacation.

First time here and everything was spot on. Highly recommend the Homestyle Cinnamon French Toast Combo. Ordered also a side of American Fries as my waitresses recommendation and the fact they slice the potatoes every morning. My waitress was so sweet and very attentive.

Incredible experience to sit at the bar and watch as the chef cooked all the orders while also greeting people as they came in and keeping track of which tables are open, all on a super busy Sunday 🤯 it was amazing to watch. The waitress we had was also very kind. It’s got a classic diner feel to it.

Great mom and pop style dinner. Yummy food the southern omelet was great the sausage was flavorful without being spicy. Love the choice American fries, grit, or silver dollar pancakes. Our waitress was the best, but so was the rest of the team. The cook was fun and fast. Be prepared this place is so good they are busy but so worth it.
