Quintessential diner breakfast experience. Fast, hot, delicious food. Hilarious waitress.

Lovely spot for brunch. We visited over the weekend and I ordered the Trucker’s Breakfast, while my girlfriend had the Bacon Eggs Benedict. The interior is clean and charming, exactly what you’d expect from a classic, throwback diner. Both the food and service were excellent, and for the price, it’s hard to find better brunch value in the area. I’ll definitely be back.

Lovely spot for a brunch. Went here on the weekend and got the Trucker’s breakfast and my girlfriend got the Bacon Eggs Benny. Neat interior that you would expect from a traditional throwback diner. The food and service were both excellent. For the price of brunch, you cannot really find a better value in the area. I will be back. The only drawbacks are how packed it gets during prime brunch time because there isn’t that much parking and you might have to risk a no-parking zone down the street. Also it is a bit crowded at the entrance, so anyone with a walker or wheelchair might have a problem getting around inside.

Mom and pop diners are only as good as their servers. The food was absolutely fantastic and the value for what I received on the Al’s special, eggs, bacon, toast, beans, and toast was phenomenal. But to the point that, my coffee cup never went empty. I was checked in with often, taken care of, felt very comfortable, sorted the order out to get exactly what I requested...the service provided by Caroline was that of a five star Michelin rated restaurant. No grumpy or offhanded comments, just a genuine kindness with phenomenal food and service with the sense that I was literally in her home breakfast nook. Easy parking, the kitchen, the staff .......this place is the hands-down best experience for brunch I have ever had in the city. Thank you.
