Counter seating at a clip! This place does not disappoint and you’ll have coffee and food in front of you before you can settle in. Good stuff, great breakfast and wonderful late night spot.

Super casual but this place is extremely good, everything that should be crispy is. Bacon...crispy, country fried steak...crispy, hash browns...crispy.

Came here for the first time for dinner with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Everything you want from a diner: unpretentious, breakfast classics (available all day) that are delicious and priced right. Leo was on point with the food and service! I enjoyed sitting at the bar and being able to watch him work his magic. The burgers he was cooking up for his other customers looked fabulous. Definitely coming back!
