"My husband and I had late night cravings and this place was the perfect choice. The Wings were still very hot and crispy seasoned perfectly. The Cream Cheese, Strawberry 3 Piece French Toast. Topped with Whipped Cream and Choc. Sauce was delicious! The hashbrowns were crispy. Everything was great!"

"Best diner in the area! Lots of great menu options and good value. The Mexican Chicken Wrap is a favorite go to. Also, ordered the Caliente Philly on Wedge Roll substituting cheddar with Swiss. It's delicious fast comfort food. The Eggs Florentine were perfectly soft poached as requested. Thank you!!!"

"Always open, always fast, very dependable diner with better prices than local competitors. I'm rarely disappointed here. The French Fries are tasty but I also recommend the Two Eggs with Corned Beef Hash, French dip, and burgers."
