mom just went there yesterday there were many empty tables. the guy motioned for her to sit by a huge group of people - and their coats, etc. were almost lying on the next table. mom preferred to sit somewhere else. she was told she couldn't sit there, that she was alone and couldn't sit at a big table. how rude. the tables are just square and not any of them are big. so she left. none of us will be back. my mom is 89 years old.

No way to explain how awesome this little jewel of a resturant it is. It's the warmth of small town diner, with home cooking as perfect as any you have ever had. Thank you to Peter, George, Bridget, Linda, Maracella and all the staff for the great food and service!....Jim & Lou

Breakfast, non better. Great service. Always packed and always good food. The name is for a reason, do not order without potatos. Family owned and operated, you will not be disappointed.
