Stopped in with my wife and daughter. Cool old school tiny diner with a surprisingly big menu. The food was good and plentiful, the cheesecake was delicious and the price was reasonable. The owner and other patrons made us feel like regulars. Would go back and highly recommend. Thank you and hope to visit again, Dan

An authentic taste of New Jersey! Fast and friendly service. They are busy(which is a great sign), but they get it done and the food is always fresh and tasty! This place beats out the local competition by far! Thanks!!

Walked in starving, waddled out full. The food was great! Friendly staff. CLEAN kitchen. Extensive menu- lots to choose from. We had the fish and grits, and pancakes, eggs, and turkey sausage. Sampled the chili- very tasty; ordered some to take home. And, they offer turkey bacon, turkey sausage, and turkey burgers. You can tell they care about their business, the food, and the customer. Highly recommend! We will be back.
