Ok, all these yuppie kids writing reviews on here, I know you all have dreams of giant suburban new restaurants that serve you $10 pancakes, but Taffie's is an icon of decades before that serves good basic cheap food, which is why there is such an older clientele. I and many other friends in college found it nice to hang out and go to a diner that was out of the way from campus and served cheap eats when we craved greasy breakfast and a vanilla malt at the same time. Yea it wasn't anything to write home about, but its greasy diner food, it is exactly what you are looking for when you go to a place like this. Plus have any of the college kids that reviewed this every eaten at Mary Ann's while sober? It really isn't that great.
4 Stars for super friendly waitresses/staff, prompt service, cheap eats, letting us sit at a table talking through shift changes and still being super friendly and offering to get us something else, and generally good eats.
