When most of the diners around the area plummeted in their food quality because of flation and post pandemic food depression, I was so happy and surprised that they haven't here.
Their portions are generous and they use clean oil. The Cheeseburger was perfect. The bun they use is high restaurant quality, the burger meat was cooked right, it's fresh, juicy, and meaty. It came with 2 big slices of juicy red tomatoes and actual fresh green leafy lettuce, not the cheap iceberg kind everybody uses.
The Prime Rib French Dip was generously portioned with piled high meat and cheese. The only issue I had with this that it was very salty. The bread was soft and crusty on the outside. Wonderful texture and flavor.
The fries were great, you can tell that they clean their oil daily because the fries looked clean and not tanned from old oil. You can also smell and taste that the fries were not over fried. Everywhere else always over fry and over salt it too much. I like how they didn't do that here. Awesome.
The Mashed Potato was a pleasant surprise. It's actual hand mashed little red potatoes! Loved it.
This is my personal new favorite diner now. Thank you for keeping the prices fair but importantly delivering on quality which rarely exists now.
Last thing, I really like that they don't over use those one time use plastic containers/packages that are horrible for the environment.

Everything was delicious! I got the Eggs Benedict and substituted the Canadian bacon with spinach and feta. One of my all time favorite breakfasts and this place makes it consistently well. We also ordered Brioche French Toast for my son and he loved it. I had a piece too and it was very good. I was nervous about having this delivered since I always do pickup, but the food was warm and as delicious as ever.

Everything was truly amazing. The Hot Open Turkey Hot Open Turkey Platter had so much food and was really fresh. And the Prime Rib French Dip was the best I ever had. So glad I tried this place.

My black coffee showed up with cream in it! There was nothing special about the fried chicken and waffles Benedict. The chicken tenders were somewhat dry, basic store bought chicken tenders and the waffle had no flavor or character. It needed more hollandaise sauce and perhaps syrup on the side.

Everything was delicious and I will order again, but the turkey on the Hot Open Turkey Platter was very dry and they didnt use that much gravy. Was very difficult to get down. However the flavors were great overall and the portions were excellent. We were very full and felt like we ate real food instead of all the typical fast food options. Will update to 5 stars if they improve the roasted Hot Open Turkey Platter.
