In Short
Jump in the long line to get a seat with everyone else, or pass the time by surrendering your quarters to the jukebox just inside the door. The fare is a cut above your typical greasy spoon. You can order fresh tuna fish or grilled chicken sandwiches, as well as Caesar salads and fresh soups. The requisite burgers and fries do find a prominent place on the menu.

Good food. But donlt put your quarters in the jukebox's on the table. They don't play music and you wonlt get a refund. That really aggrivated me.

I wasn't looking for this place - someone had told me to check out an Asian market in the neighborhood; but when I saw what looked to be a real live diner, I was very excitied. The excitement didn't last long. It was Saturday morning around 10:00 and I had to wait for a table. I can't really ding them for that; after all, if there's a crowd it usually means the place is pretty good, right? But in this case, no one seemed to be bussing tables. In other words, I don't mind waiting if the place is full - but if there are tables with uncleared dirty dishes AND I'm waiting - that's a problem. I finally got a seat at the bar. Menu is pretty much straight up diner fare, with prices on the high side. $9 for Eggs Benedict? Unfortunately that's what I was hungry for. Turns out it didn't matter anyway; they were out of english muffins. Hello? You're a diner on a Saturday - there's just no excuse for that. So I ordered a Rueben. Didn't really go with the OJ I had already ordered in anticipation of breakfast, but the waitress didn't think to ask. I saw 3 waitresses working front of the house, I think they could have really used 4 because there was very little attention paid to me. No one did a mid-meal check, see if everything was OK. The Rueben was pretty good, but the pickle they served me with it was this pathtic little runt that looked like it had already been chewed on. If I had seen my waitress I would have asked her if she thought it looked good enough to serve, but by the time she got back to me I just wanted to get out. I'm wresting with giving the place 2 stars (below) or 3 (average). I'm going with 2 because I expected more, and I don't think it was too much to ask. If you're a diner, you just don't run out of english muffins. Hire another waitress and a high school kid to bus tables. Also - Pepsi products, ewww. You're a diner - spring for Coke.
