I love their double turkey melt on 7 grain bread with extra Russian dressing. Extra Russian is key!

Amazing Home Fries
Loren FinkelsteinNovember 3, 2013
Found the food to be poorly prepared. "Banana Pancakes" does not mean plain pancakes with an unripe banana sliced and thrown on top. And Eggs Benedict can't be served over cooked.
Vanessa Potter WoolJanuary 17, 2015
CASH ONLY. They do NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014
If you like cheap food covered in chocolate or maple syrup I suppose you'll be right at home. Too bizarre for my tastes however. Go to a real restaurant.

LOBSTER CAKE BENEDICTS.

They are still cash only after renovating and the food isn't nearly as good as it used to be. I sadly won't be eating here very often anymore.

Terrible service and mediocre food. There are better options in the neighborhood.
