    This is an old fashion diner, and it's been in the neighborhood for over 20 years. Everything is cooked to order, so the fries are always warm and crisp.  Their breakfasts and burgers are particularly popular, but they make a great Salisbury and Parmigiana too.  I highly recommend their Western and the veal sandwich.

    I am definitely a fan of this place.  I come here all the time because it's close to one of my offices for work.   It's like Cheers, Where Everybody Knows Your Name. One of the waitresses has been there for 22 years, and she remembers all the regulars and what they like to eat. I've seen one regular who has never even placed an order, he sits down and of she goes to get his favourite food.

    3.5 stars.

    Hard to find anything wrong with this place.  We all had good, standard breakfasts served by an attentive waitress who looks like she's been there a while.  The weak link was the standard, boring "Wonder" brown toast.

    If most diner coffee is a 5/10, this was a 6.

    The stand-out was the chunky, real home fries, fried with love on the griddle.*

    *not frozen "tots", not deep fried, not fried to a mush.  Chunky and recognizable as potatoes.  Nice!

    Nothing wrong with it, just a goo old fashion diner.

    Popular amongst musicians who record in the area and other residence, it's cheap comfort food.  

    Burgers, sandwiches, omelets, spaghetti, all day breakfasts, entrees like corned beef.

    3.5 greasy spoons of goodness.

    If you don't live in the east end, nor have any friends here, then you can stop reading now 'cause it's good, but not good enough to make the trek.

    The staff saved our collective lives on New Years Day as we were all out of Clamato and a little "tired" to be dealing with eggs and appliances.

    The food was perfectly greasy spoon: greasy, cheap, plentiful and with real breakfast potatoes and not some frozen crap or left over fries from some other person's plate or whatever else some awful places have served me in the past.

    The service was great, especially considering our state and the amount of equally hangry and hangry-over customers waiting for salvation.

    It's way off the beaten path, but soooo worth it if you're in the area.

    We went for Saturday breakfast. Great value. Sausages, 1 egg, toast, potatoes, and coffee for $5.55 is hard to beat. Service was fast a friendly. We will definitely be going back!
