★★★★☆ 4.0 Angelo Garcia · Dec 2025

It’s been my first visit although I have been in the same vicinity for several months when visiting from Canada! I liked the retro look of the place however the stalls are very small and confined thus not allowing one to be comfortable specially a large man like myself who has trouble sitting on tight spaces! I barely fit today in the small booth surrounded by plexiglass windows… sorta reminds of when we were under the COVID pandemic and isolating in tiny spaces… the coffee was excellent, my eggs and toast were fine, the ham was a bit over cooked , grits were a bit dry and the sausage patty I ordered extra was not worth the price! I don’t think I will be coming back…

Ordered a hot chocolate with a steak and egg breakfast. Not only was service fast, but the food was amazing and the staff is super friendly!! THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING CHRISTMAS EVE BREAKFAST!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ya Yay · Oct 2025

Very generous portion sizes. The chicken wrap was very good, and the breakfast food is what you’d expect from your local diner. Overall, very solid.

★★★★★ 5.0 David Oh · Nov 2025

Old American-style diner. You don't see this often in NYC. Staff are friendly. Food is good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rico H · Jul 2025

traditional American style family restaurant, not a modern fancy environment but “traditional, old time” like the place in 70’s movies. 9am already lots of people there. Quickly seated with big welcome smile. Food delivery fast, tasty fresh and yummy. refill coffee every minute. Good place for breakfast .
