★★★★★ 5.0 Kaela Lumaj · Jan 2026

This place was actually really good. The food came out fast and everything tasted fresh, like you could tell it was made right and not rushed. The flavors were on point and the portions were good too, so you definitely get your money’s worth. The service was good too. Everyone was nice and helpful and made sure we had what we needed. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, I’d 100% come back and recommend it if you want good food, good service, and a chill atmosphere.

This was our first time dining here, the food was delicious, I had fish and chips, Chi had catfish, we both had one of their wonderful soup offerings, sausage/chicken gumbo which we also found to be quite enjoyable! The service was excellent, the prices were very reasonable, and it is a comfortable environment. We will return on our next visit here and definitely would recommend this diner to all who enjoy great food!

I had the catfish...it's great 3 pieces came hot and not overly greasy or breaded. With mash potatoes and turkey gravy. Also a bowl of soup. Great value...soup was great... homemade. My partner had the fish and chips...it's just as good. Well recommended.

Edit: I cannot express enough how wonderful the service is. Note there is an 18% gratuity to all tables over 6 This place is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Breakfast is served anytime, day or night. The chicken strips are the OG strips you remember from before life took hold. They serve Pepsi products, including Pepsi Zero. The chili is spicy and savory. You can taste every piece of meat in the club sandwich. Did I mention they are open 24 hours? Delivery available. They are also on Doordash. The service was amazing. Definitely making this a local go to spot.

I can't say enough about this new upcoming jewel of Pontiac. They just opened to service the community and the food elections are awesome. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the manager makes every customer feel like family.
