I was debating either to go with an Omelet or the French Toast. I choose the French Toast because I was assuming it was going to be the best option.

Great little diner. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was great, especially the sausage. Best breakfast I had in 2 weeks while working in NYC
Shany Thakur
The food was great. The server was nice and attentive. If you wanna hangout with friends and have some good food then check out this place.
Andrew kidd
Visited on our way back home the UK. Food was excellent, service was excellent. A genuinely great experience all round. If you want the proper NY diner experience go here. My only disappointment is that I discovered it on the way home.
Snow Byrd
I have my favorite diner in queens but this one just took the lead by a hair. Great food and fast service. The staff and our server were excellent. If you bring a stroller you have carry it a few steps. Place is clean and spacious. Recommend.

Decent diner I happen to drop in during lunch a while back.
Zuki
Classic diner with big menu. Tried the mozz sticks, onion rings, chicken tenders, bacon cheddar chicken sandwich, and waffle fries. They were all pretty good.
Tracey Stewart
Very nice, clean diner! The food was excellent! I had open steak sandwich, soooo good! Even better was the service! Our server was amazing and kind!
Andrew Thomas
Solid to great food, matter of fact, tough live service, classic diner that are far and few between these days. Awesome moussaka – currently not being made due to pandemic. Hopefully will be back soon!
