Classic vibes downtown, simple and guaranteed spot, great quality food at good prices in the core. It’s the answer to where you should go that isn’t over the top and won’t require 4 weeks to pay it off. Also smash burgers. Owner is super friendly and funny. Really really loved it here. No pressure ordering and stayed after our meal was done with no pressure to leave. Truly a gem downtown. Hairnets and cleanliness was up and above code. Great playlist of tunes playing at a very respectable volume. Warm inside on cold January day. Lots of seating and tables can be pushed together for larger parties. Clean fryer oil when we were there. Bacon cooked absolutely perfectly, and no lack of butter on the toast.

Things that look like worms on all my pancakes, weirdly over peppered fries. *UPDATED* So if you’ve never seen such a thing what is it in my pancakes? & ya pepper is in your seasoning but they’re OVERLY seasoned. Poor response from pictures obviously showing my statement isn’t BS..

Such a great place for a classic breakfast! Simple but really delicious food, it was so good I was already halfway through eating before I remembered to take a picture.

We hit up a local spot this morning with some friends and it was a win. I had the veggie omelette—light, fluffy, and loaded with fresh veggies. Super tasty! My fiancé went for the meat lovers omelette and he was it was great. total comfort food.The vibe was chill, the service was friendly, and we left feeling pretty awesome. Perfect place for any kind of breakfast craving. I will definitely come back and try the eggs Benny next and the latte!!!!!
