I recently stopped at this diner for breakfast with a friend early one saturday morning. The diner is pretty large and is hard to miss but the parking lot was pretty small. The parking lot also had a valet but he appeared to only park certain cars - he didnt park mine or my friends. Once you enter the diner you will again question why the parking lot is so small in comparison to the size of the diner-its huge! In addition to typical diners food they also have counters displaying baked goods as well as one showing a variety of gelato. The menu also has a large variety of options. There pancakes and waffles are offered in a variety of flavors that even included whole wheat which you dont see often - especially in diners. I ordered the pancakes deluxe platter and I was shocked at how much it included. In addition to the pancakes my order came with an option of fruit salad or juice. Tea or coffee was included with most meals but my friend and I never got our tea. Overall the food was good but I doubt that I would get the pancakes again because they were to doughy tasting to me. I was overwhlemed with the breakfast meat served with my meal I must say because it included a slice of ham, a sausage and some bacon! My friend tried the gelato and said it was delicious. I would definitely return again because the service was good as well as the food.

Im African American when I enter the diner Im just sitting in the back in a corner and was told we were seated there because itll be comfy and cozy. We didnt even have a menu open yet and the way they already came and asked us what we wanted to tell him to give us a few minutes because we didnt even look at the menu yet all I ordered was a turkey burger with onions and it came without them and I had to wait approximately 6 minutes for the onion hello I was eating one where they came by and asked me if I wanted to order at the time I did not because my class was called another way they came behind us price to give them water at which time I got those MD and I was not asked if I wanted any. When my waiter came by after some water he said okay and when he turned around he took another table next to us a whole family and took their order so I had to wait that was completed and then somebody else came and gave me water. Ive been here before but this is the first time I felt like I was a needle in a haystack except you could have seen me because we were the only black guy on this side of the restaurant at this time and this will be my last time coming here the reason they gave me to stop by because the food was good

My friend and i stopped here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was busy. By the time we left, the place was packed. I was shocked how crowded this place was for a diner. I ordered the egg plus with sausages and it came with a choice of several side items. I had the home fries, fresh fruit and toast. I think I was supposed to get hot tea but it never came which was okay since my body was still recovering from our long hour hot yoga class that was just a few blocks away. My friend had pancakes, eggs, sausages, ham and bacon which she said was good. I wanted to save room for the gelato that is visible as soon as you walk through the door. I ordered a small size of chocolate and mango gelato and it was delicious. I enjoyed our meal and the service was cool. Apparently a lot of people enjoy this diner because it stayed crowded. It was pretty shocking to see the parking lot was so small but they did have valet parking. I would definitely return and check out lunch or dinner.

Me and my family came here because we were going to a funeral at Guttermans around the corner. I was in the parking lot and sent my son in to ask for a table for 3 they told him they would not give him a table until we were all present my son explained I was parking the car and pointed to me outside through the window the owner_/manager still refuse to give him a table and then having an attitude when I came inside meanwhile I noticed other people coming in and sitting down I said their whole party was not there and they came in he said they were for a table for 12 but there was no table for 12. I guess his friends count as special. When I said I would not come back here, he said you dont have to.

Hopefully will bump this up to more stars later but the girl in carry out had terrible attention to detail. Didnt double check to make sure all items were in the bag. Had everything in the bag and sitting on the counter before we got there which mean the hot food was cooling and the ice cream was melting. When mentioned she had a cocky, condescending reply. Then when I got home I found that there was an item missing. On the positive side I called them and the manager was great about making it right. I like their food so will go back and hopefully the staff below manager level is more conscientious.

I like this diner for their breakfast more so than their dinners -- although the dinners are good, dont get me wrong, just not my favorite (although their burgers are generally very good as are their paninis). When we come here, our family favorite is always their large selection of very flavorful and wide selection of gelato -- even a small order the gelato is enough to satisfy the sweet tooth of any ice cream lover, and anything larger you are bound to bring him with you to enjoy later. They also have a wide assortment of pastries to choose from as well.

I was there for a bison burger , I dont believe it was bison , $20.00 arr I made a suggestion to the owner Jimmy , put a little flag inserted in the burger saying Bison. He looked at me like I had two heads didnt care, and said maybe I wont offer it anymore. I told ive eaten it many times and the met is dense, my burger was,falling apart. He Didnt care, so I wont go their again. Overpriced. With an I dont care attitude, he just got a poor rating.. maybe he should just be an icecream store. .because he serves Gelato..

I stopped in for dinner. I ordered the spinach pie dinner. It came with a Greek salad, which was big enough to eat for dinner by itself. And the Spinach pie came on plate filled with lettuce, tomato, red onions, and cucumbers. It was delicious. I had coffee but no dessert. The waiter brought me chalah bread, which was warm and delicious. I have not gone to this diner in a very long time but it was very good. The service was excellent. Very friendly. The prices were reasonable and there was free parking.

Family of five just ate here and I can only compliment the wait staff for being attentive and that the water was cold...French onion soup was sweet...the god father sandwich was chewy..the buffalo wings were too salty (definitely not house made)...my son had the kids spaghetti with meat balls..all sauce no meatballs and the noodles were way over cooked... disappointing
