Old school diner straight out of a Wisconsin supper club fairy tale. Basic food and standard service in a no-nonsense dining room. Its a great place to get a classic eggs and bacon breakfast and get some remote work done in peace. Not fancy or romantic, but yummy.

This old school neighborhood restaurant is an absolute one-of-a-kind gem. The service is exceptional, the staff could not be friendlier. The menu - the definition of comfort food, fresh and tasty, prepared with care. I order the skillets, omelettes and wraps the most. The ambience - dated in a good way, exudes warmth, and importantly, it is quiet, even when it's busy - hard to find these days. Katerina, Brandy, Javier and Holly are the best. My brother and I are regulars here - there is no place we would rather go for our weekly lunch.

Everything was delicious. The service was wonderful hashbrowns were crispy and Great fluffy pancakes. The biscuits and gravy were OK . But it's only bc I think the biscuits were not fresh made, which was disappointing. And the gravy had cubes of sweet not savory meat, which made the flavor of the gravy not spicy. No real kick, but I bet someone with sensitivity to spice would like this soft breakfast meal. Bring in a newspaper and leave it for others to read as they don't have newspaper boxes outside anymore.

Great cozy hidden restaurant, it's small and a local favorite. My first time at location, and it didn't disappoint. My son love the pancakes, and the hash browns they were cooked just like we ask. I tried the meat lovers skillet and added mushrooms to it. The skillet was great comes with two eggs of your choice, and it has potatoes in it already. The skillet is pretty big so come with some appetite, it also comes with a choice of toast or pancakes. The skillet was cooked just perfect, and the coffee was nice an hot. The service was great, our waitress was super nice and friendly.
