| - "I found my thrill, on Blueberry Hill..." Not really but Richie Cunningham singing that on "Happy Days" made me giggle as a little kid. The food here makes me happy in a nostalgic way, too.
Quite reminiscent of NY diner food, open 24/7: I've been a fan since my office was walking distance years ago. Great place to go for breakfast all day, or when you have a group who can't agree on a specific cuisine, or breakfast, lunch, or dinner, for that matter, etc.
Cheesy, well-worn and outdated decor is alright when you are being served fluffy pancakes, crisp waffles, good burgers, AOk soups and tasty sammies by cheerful wait staff. Exactly what it is supposed to be: comfort food whenever you want it. My folks frequent the Decatur location, and I've found them consistently good, too. The strawberry malted (extra thick, with blender cup on side) always makes me happy = do it!
* if you order sammies that come with mayo: 'on the side' is a good call here, they slather it on (blech ;) *
** they can deliver true, soft scrambled eggs = why can't everyone?!?! **
*** 24/7 just about anything you could order in a diner on E Coast ***
**** portions trend gargantuan; bake fresh daily muffins & desserts ****
***** Senior discounts, kids menu, two daily specials (at least) I heart the beer battered cod on Fridays *****
Dunno why my photos aren't linking, but they're in here, amongst the gallery: Turkey Club, Clam Chowda & curly fries ;)
