“ Staff are chill and explain things thoroughly. It took about 10 minutes to make my bacon and cheese sandwiches, and the bacon is crispy/chewy (personally I enjoy!). Paid $8 including tax and tip, so if you have $10 and want something local/have the diner experience, go here! (Parking-wise, it's difficult, so I recommend coming here via Metro) ”
“ It's my favorite breakfast spot! Food is always fresh, hot, and made with love. This would be considered a hole in the wall spot, but the owner makes sure his food is made with love, so it gives the feel of home cooking! Oh, and they have something for any cravings you may have. Closes before 5, so order early!! Please give this small business a try!!! ”
“ Don't judge a book by its cover because you'll miss out on some really great food. I don't care about the decorations when the grits are perfect and the pecan waffles are piping hot. Parking isn't great but just drive around the block a couple times. ”
“ Very little restaurant with attentive staff and very good food. The only inconvenience is that the capacity is limited and there is always a pack of customers. But definitely worth a shot. ”
