Visited on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. Normally, would give this place 5 stars, but our experience this time around wasn't all that great. We observed people seated after us getting their food before us, and when we finally did get our food almost 30 minutes after being seated, it was lukewarm. I also found a hair stuck to my hash browns. I understand restaurants have their good and bad days, and this experience won't make me not want to go back but I think I might choose to visit during the week next time when it may not he as busy.
Large portions, great prices and attentive staff! I brought my mom for a quick breakfast and it just felt so nice to be in a local diner based restaurant with hot coffee and a cozy place to sit and eat a warm breakfast. Thank you for the experience and we can’t wait to visit again!
As a truck driver delivering to a customer that is just around the corner, this little jewel is awesome. Great food at a great price. If you leave here hungry, that’s your fault. If I’m delivering across the street again, I’ll definitely be eating here!
So, this is gonna be a strange review. Had to drive to Scranton on two consecutive days. Decided to visit this small joint that came up on my search as the nearest location with good reviews. From the outside this place is perfect. Small, divey and lots of nostalgia. Inside, there were regulars galore, and I think the owner even stopped in to check the mail. Day one: My waitress was a nice, blonde woman who wore a smile and kept the coffee flowing. There was a guy at the grill which one can see from anywhere in the joint. He wore gloves while he cooked and seemed to have command of his part in the whole show. Things looked neat and clean, which is always a plus. Remember, dive doesn't mean dirty. My order came out quickly and without issue. The food was hot and everything it should have been. The coffee was the same. Only one issue came up on day one. The bathroom door would not lock as I found out when I opened it on an unsuspecting female, who by the way was using the men's room. The nerve. So, I go in, close and lock the door and guess what happens. The next guy opens the door on me. Jeez, ain't nobody heard of knocking. So, when I go to pay the bill, I simply tell the nice waitress that the lock on the men's room door may need to be looked at. She smiles and says she's on it. Day two: I'm back but my smiley waitress isn't there. The guy at the grill is now a woman, who isn't wearing gloves. And the waitress is a bit slower on the take, but sufficient enough. My order is simple, and the coffee starts dripping in my cup. As I'm waiting for my meal, I notice that things at the grill are not as efficient as they were on day one. Also, the lack of gloves in an open type of kitchen should be mandatory even for the dive. The food did eventually get to the table, and it was good in all the same ways as day 1. But you know what got me? The darn bathroom door was still unlockable. All in all, I really give this place 3 1/2 stars but it wouldn't allow me to give half a star, so there ya go. Thanks Sharon.
Never a bad meal or price! Great off the beaten path breakfast spot. This little greasy spoon delivers great huge pancakes, french toast, omelettes, egg sandwiches, and other breakfast delights. Brunch items, burgers etc. great service. Worth the wait if there is a line.
