Great local spot for breakfast. (Never tried it for lunch). Good coffee. Huge breakfast menu. It’s breakfast not fine dinning. Kids loved the crepes Normandy. Yes, it is a bit loud but that just adds to the charm.

We usually come here as a family for a quick breakfast and have always had a good experience. The last visit was a disaster. We went to an early breakfast on Mother’s Day since the kids wanted to take myself and my mom out. I let my kids order what they want. My 7 y/o son ordered the triple chocolate Belgian waffle. The description was Belgian waffle topped with chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate drizzle. He was very excited to eat it. 2 bites in, he started saying that his throat doesn’t feel right like he has more mucus. I didn’t pay much attention to it as allergies are bad these days. He proceeded to say that now his tongue feels funny and kept trying to wipe his tongue with a tissue. We called our sever over and asked if there are any peanut or nut ingredients in the waffle that was not mentioned on the menu. She said she will ask. She comes back and whispered to me that the ice cream they used was peanut butter chocolate. I immediately ran out the restaurant with my son to attempt to give him his epipen or Benadryl. The rest of our party stayed and when my niece questioned the server, she stated that she was just told that there is a shortage in chocolate ice cream so they substituted with peanut butter chocolate. No one at any point asked us if the substitution was ok and just served it. It was not written on the menu that they may substitute with a peanut product. This was very negligent. I have made a few attempts to contact the restaurant after the incident to maybe let them know that this could have been much worse and teach them so it does not occur but I have not been able to speak to anyone. This was a very disappointing experience. The photo below was taken before the reaction and as stated previously, we enjoy coming here but we are now afraid.

Excellent quality, great service and reasonably priced. Great place for breakfast. One suggestion. I consider myself a scrapple connoisseur. I got a side of scrapple to check it out. It was cooked the right way but the Quaility of the meat was lacking because of too much filler. Bready. Use Habbersetts!

New to the area, so I gave it a second chance after my initial experience was not good. The second time was just as bad. There are numerous issues with this diner. First of all it's very loud, everyone from the staff to the patrons seems to be yelling at one another. I guess that's because it's the only way that you can hear what someone is saying above the overall noise of the place. You definitely don't want to come here if you would like to have a pleasant chat over breakfast. Secondly, the food is quite unremarkable, and in our case, all of it was cool rather than hot. You know when you spread whipped butter on pancakes and toast, and it does not melt, that your food is not hot. Moreover, the pancakes were like rubber and the home fries were essentially uneatable and greasy. We will certainly never return to this restaurant and strongly recommend you follow our lead. There are plenty of other diners in the area that will provide a much better experience.
