Cheerful store front restaurant. Very nice, helpful staff. Absolutely delicious food. You go forward to get menus and order at the front/ cash register. Choice of booths or table and chairs, either is comfortable. Food and staff are the biggest attractions the atmosphere is simple but cheery and clean. They are very popular so peak hours can mean a wait and more chatter! Worth both!

Mom and pop shop that serves great food at an affordable price point. If you’re looking to be waited on this is not your spot. You order/pay at the counter. They deliver your food. You get your own drinks.
We ordered the eggs Benedict and a cheeseburger. Food was fresh. The flavors were great. Eggs perfectly poached and the hollandaise is smooth and not too lemony. The cheeseburger was a solid burger cooked to our desired temp medium rare. We will be visiting again when we go to the Vista Farmer’s Market.

Worst service ever. Only gave one star because I could not give less. Skip this place. Waited for "almost" an hour per the kid at the counter with no food, no drinks, no acknowledgement. When I went to ask, he said we had not been waiting an hour, it was only "almost" an hour, and the order had not made it to the kitchen (directly behind him) and it wasn't their fault, it was a system issue. Meanwhile, other people had come and gone and tables had flipped multiple times. No apologies, nothing to make it right, and wasn't sure he got it right on the refund. Told me to come back if it doesn't get credited back to my card. Skip this place.

My son and I discovered this place after his favorite dessert place DQ closed down.
He wanted to come here to see what took over his beloved Dairy Queen
And this place is Sooooo good.
Everything is fresh and delicious
Ordering is a breeze, you sit down after you order and get your food that is made fresh pretty quick.
They even have fresh pressed juices, stuffed French toast and my favorite
The Salomon Salad
