    Best Gold mine for foods you you'd be luckily enough to find!!! Way to many scrumptious choices to lust, I meant, list. Must try beef ribs the meat just flops off the bone! But pay $3 more, AYC eat.

    Very classic diner! The service is great and you can't beat perfectly crispy bacon. Some have described it at "divey" but that's unfair. It's no Michelin star eatery but it's clean and friendly.

    Legendary place. Not for the weak willed. Postapocalyptic diner atmosphere. One of the only r-e-a-l diners in nova. Open 24 hours. Come for the late hours, low prices, and the real atmosphere.

    The food is excellent! Chef Earl and his southern ribs are awesome! I highly recommend this restaurant. Closed on Mondays.

    Two eggs over medium with bacon and a short stack. Perfect breakfast here. The the bacon is my favorite here then any other place.

    Omelets are awesome. Wish va didn't ban smoking inside. But it's cheap! And delicious!
