    We stopped by on a Sunday morning in early January for breakfast. The building has a large number of tables organized in a large, dividable room and we had no issues getting seated. The vibe was less of a quaint diner and more of a place that hosts groups and parties. We were immediately greeted by a member of the wait staff to take beverage orders. After receiving water, juice, and coffee our meal orders were taken and delivered quickly. The food was generous and done mostly as ordered but was unspectacular, with the wheat toast reminding me of something I get from a loaf of bread at home. My hash browns were light but could have been crispier while my bride's were cold and somewhat greasy. The child portion pancakes, however, were huge. I was disappointed that our waitress never returned to ask for coffee refills and didn't ask about how our meals were until we were already finished. Overall an ok place for a quick breakfast but we won't likely return.

    Very appreciative that they’re open on Christmas. Very cool to have a breakfast spot on that day. Food quality and quantity is agreeable. Diner standard, I’d say. Coffee cup never got cold or empty. Service was attentive and friendly. Only niggle was the new implementation of a credit card surcharge of 3%. I don’t like this trend among restaurants and would prefer they bake all their expenses into the menu prices.

    I stopped in for breakfast and ordered a German omelette with hash browns, but the meal was extremely bland. Nothing was salted — no seasoning at all — and the omelette was filled with American cheese and sliced hot dog instead of actual sausage. When the waitress asked how everything tasted, I simply asked whether they salted their food, and she admitted they didn’t before walking away. I think she knows exactly how the food tastes, and I doubt anybody in the kitchen cares. So, why ask? Why charge $20 for food that McDonalds can make better? One of the waitresses also forgot I ordered ahead of time, so even though I called and made my order, it didn’t matter. I still had to wait.
