Best neighborhood gem for comfort food. I ordered the meatloaf; my companion, the Ruben. Both portions were substantial so, a leftover box was needed even though we really wanted to eat it all. Also, great service from our server, JP. Thanks.

Some delicious food, fast service, and a bright, clean interior. Honestly didn't know about this the years I've been visiting Palm Spring's and now it's going to be a must visit on my future trips.

Cool retro diner great for a traditional breakfast or lunch. The service is outstanding and you'll get exactly what you ordered, fast and with a smile. Also, weirdly good coffee. This place is a great start to your day.

The food was fine. But the service bummed me out (speaking as a former waiter). My son kicked over my beer before I had a chance to take a sip and the staff took ages to clean it up - a lane of beer and glass (and weren’t particularly busy…waiters and bus people were just standing around staring at us). One guy came over to mop it up rather slowly while my husband and I tried to clean up our wet legs and clothes. Eventually I had to ask them for towels, which they begrudgingly brought over. To add insult to injury, they charged us for the replacement beer. I’m sure we were more annoying than most with two kids, but, especially having worked in hospitality, I was so disappointed by how this was handled and, though this is the only option at the ace, will not eat here again.
