Make reservations to avoid the line. But even with a line, they turn tables quick. My 20 minute wait was worth it.
Ambience: First this is your classic greasy spoon diner and dive kind of place. It is not fancy. It is classic.
Service: nice, courteous, and efficient. I watched them systematically clean up, re-seat, and keep it moving. Their hustle and bustle is an art in itself. But for them to be as attentive, letting us know the status of the table, just kept sort of checking up with us as we stood there, it was pretty impressive... Then our Waitress was smiling thru my kids changing their minds and all their city slicker requests for this and that on the side. Appreciated her patience... She checked up during meal at the right times. And she had a quick chat with us before she handed the check over. She was just real nice.... Some of the best restaurants in the world could learn from this pretty humble easygoing waitstaff.
Food: it was everything you expected, wanted and more. Everything was pretty much perfect for a diner. Waffles were fluffy and perfectly cooked. Home fries were delicious. And their version of eggs Benedict was amazing.
Verdict: 5 stars for it's perfectly classic meal and for its reasonable prices.
