“ SERVICE- the staff was very friendly and helpful the food came out within 15 minutes. ATMOSPHERE- the inside is sooo lovely! Just like a classic old diner and very cozy perfect for family/ friend meals! It feels very calm and its not loud even when it's half full. Ill also note that they don't accept card so you'd have to pay with cash (and they do have an ATM right inside which is helpful for that). FOOD- my friend said their hasbrowns were really good and thought their pancake decor was super cute my food was also super yummy and we both agreed it was very filling for the price! I will be coming here again because as you've probably seen in all the other pictures, they all look extremely delicious ”
“ Food is always prepared exceptionally well. It has a small town charm and the owner and staff are all very friendly. Sometimes there's friendly banter with the staff and the regulars. Bring cash, but it's always a great value. ”
“ Fresh delicious food and the best omlettes ever! Not a brown spot on that perfectly cooked egg! Delicious coffee, and the service makes you feel like you're family. Would highly recommend! ”
“ THE best breakfast I have ever had, period! I had the biscuits with gravy and two eggs with sausage. The biscuits was soft and the gravy was perfect. Amber was our waitress and she rocked. Very engaging and checked on us numerous times. ”
“ The food was awesome all around. The service was great. Everybody seemed happy.. definitely a small hometown feeling. I would guess a lot of regulars visit there as the staff and the guests are very friendly and always laughing and joking.. We will definitely be back. ”
“ This is a great place to go on a first date. As well as a 23rd. A 47th. And so forth.... The food is always SO GOOD, and the owner, Sheila, is always very nice. Jamie has taken care of us most of our visits and couldn't be happier with her service. If you're in Burlington, looking for a place to grab a bite for breakfast, I strongly recommend you stop here. It fills up quick on the weekends, but it's worth the wait if you can't get a table right away. Don't forget to bring cash to pay, but if you do forget, there's an atm inside. We look forward to coming back - again and again and again! ”
“ 1st timers. We recommended to try the cinnamon roll. Menu is deceiving, because it says rolls. I ordered one, my son ordered two! The were HUGE. Very delicious, my only complaint is they were not served warm. Coffee cup was always full. The chicken fried steak and eggs showed up about 15 minutes later. Would have been nice to all eat together, but everything was amazing. Great staff. Definetly plan to be back, there were A LOT of great menu items, not to mention I didn't notice the specials until after I placed my order. Great place to grab a bit to eat! Highly recommend! ”
“ A great place with delicious food, and at a good price too. The staff was friendly, we got our food super fast, and breakfast was wonderful. The old diner atmosphere was nice too. Highly recommended. ”
