| - So to be fair, I compare all diners to NJ diners. The most and best in the country according to not just myself. Sorry, I just can't help myself!
Waiting until I was sick from hunger I needed a good, comfort-food breakfast place. Using trusty Yelp I found this place.
Although I'm always skeptical of diners outside of Jersey and any in strip malls, I soon found myself liking this place. The immediate greeting and customer acknowledgement from the cook, owner, buyer (a salesman was eating and taking some type of food provision order from him I believe) and ambassador (to be explained in my review) made me feel welcome. Within minutes, he has a menu in my hand and coffee in my cup. I quickly ordered John's Corned Beef Scramble. Although I did not ask, I presume he was John. Well, John is a one man army who has mastered the battle and strategy. I commented on our different pronunciations of coffee (his cahfee, my cawfee) and he now knew I'm from Joisey.
His scramble was excellent and hit the spot. The chips that came with it came with an explanation that it's a local staple he does (I suppose instead of homefries) and they were perfectly crisp and the right thickness. Finally, ambassador John brought out a complimentary Ricotta Pancake that he had on his Specials board so I can try another staple he's perfecting. It too was excellent.
It turns out John is actually Mark but if he's not the owner he acts like one. And the owner should be thankful for that!
My only suggestion for this diner would to have a themed ambience. It's too vanilla and scattershot. Maybe wall murals or pictures of famed diners?
Best of luck here and I would recommend to anyone to stop in.
