I am actually quite shocked that there are so many reviews for Collegiate Lunch, given that every time I am in there the only other people look like they probably don't own a computer and, if they do, it's certainly not connected to the internet (i.e., they are old).
The food here is fine, but really cheap, and the service is good. You can get a full breakfast for under $5. It's 100% diner style with the classic counter and booths. I don't make it here as often as I would like because my girlfriend likes a bit of a higher class/three times the price brunch. In the rare situation where I am going it alone and out for breakfast this is where I go. I'll be the loser sitting by himself reading the paper.
