I ordered whole wheat pancakes. They were tasteless. The waitress, after chastising me that a lady in an adjacent booth “LOVED hers”, whisked them away and removed them from my check. No harm, no foul..good service. Then I’m looking forward to eating my omelette stuffed with corn beef hash. I take one bite and taste rancid cooking grease. My co-diner tasted it and agreed with me that it had been setting all morning. We were eating @ 12:45. Been here many times. Bad cook that day???

The trendy Effie’s Place is very good, however, not worthy of the accolades I have heard. Yes, good location. Yes, friendly and helpful staff. Yes, very good homemade corned beef hash (Although, not $7.75 very good). The hash browns were terrible, just mushy potatoes, no seasoning, no onions, just a mushy potatoe, why bother? One of 2 of the eggs i ordered over easy was over medium. I had high expectations for this restaurant and they were not met. Effie’s Place is still very good and worth a try.

Busy local breakfast spot with friendly wait staff. A nice clean diner with a family atmosphere. Also has outdoor dining. They do take out or delivery with DineInCt or Door dash. The only issue at times is parking. Building used to be a bank.

A great neighborhood eatery. I had the corned beef hash omelet that was very good. The home fries were crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside.

Was pricey for the quality of food. I heard a lot of great things about the homemade hash but I can say with some certainty that it’s better canned. They’re having an unfortunate adjustment period where the prices you’re paying aren’t matching menu prices too. Service was pretty slow. There’s a few diners in the same zip code that are selling the same or better quality food for about 10-40% cheaper.

Honestly my husband got breakfast and I got lunch, both were completely devoid of flavor. I tried both. The maple syrup is some weird sugarless kind as best we can tell, there was no ingredients listed on the back. The servers were polite and food came out quickly but that really can’t make up for how bland it was. Unfortunately the server also dumped a class of ice water on my husband and got him and his phone all wet. This was an accident which she apologized for. We weren’t mad about it but they didn’t even comp us a drink in return, kind of unheard of. Bottom line it’s way over priced for what they are offering. We won’t be going back.
