Shaheer KhanOctober 27, 2015I had their Heartbreak Sandwich (I think that's the name), and it was a good mouthful. Good quantity and taste (they give you barbeque sauce with it). Total props, and worth it, as a traveler!!!- Hugo ReevesJune 26, 2015Awesome diner feel and great lively atmosphere. Perfect for a quick breakfast in the morning if you are heading out for the day.
Giovanna JonesDecember 6, 2015I would only come back for the biscuits & gravy and to sit at the bar and watch the chefs. I ordered scrambled eggs add cheese and they definitely gave me my $ worth of cheese.
Michele WilletJuly 31, 2015Awesome food! We had BLT and Patty Melt and they were wonderful! Best part was the shake though! Great diner atmosphere as well.
Damian AlamedaAugust 23, 2013Bring a friend. You can't sit at a booth by yourself. I was told to rub elbows at the diner counter. Its like eating on the transit bus at its busiest time. Took a whole 15 seconds to decide "To Go!"
Sherilynn MacaleMarch 28, 2013Those sweet potato fries? So good. Get them as a side while you decide what to order. Don't skimp on the condiments.
Anne O'SheaOctober 3, 2016The reuben is amazing but late at night they have one guy waiting tables and being cashier. Sit at the counter!
Shawn SmartFebruary 20, 2011Lori's Country Breakfast was great & filling. Atmosphere here transports you to 50s. Service awesome! Umberto checked in to see if everythings ok & came back later to refill my OJ with my asking!
Adriaan TrouweeNovember 9, 2014My standard breakfast place when in town, get some pancakes and avocado on the side.
Joy CupichApril 24, 2014i looove the cadillac burguer and sweet potatoes!! and they have the best music to eat.
Lauren HarrisonDecember 1, 2012Biscuits and gravy rocked, huge portion for only $7 and was so delicious!
Miss McCrayFebruary 23, 2014Had the Lori's breakfast. Portion was HUGE. Pancakes were hot and fluffy. Bacon had a good flavor but wasn't very crispy. Food came out at a reasonable speed. Overall a decent experience.
Mauricio Vidal AstudilloNovember 11, 2014Their "signature" burger has good fresh veggies, but the beff is way to far from being a good one. Very dry and without real beef taste. Bacon was overcooked.
GregWasThereDecember 21, 2014Back in time. Burgers are good but smaller than you could have expected.
SamirJanuary 12, 2013The Ole Omelete is very good. Also, this place is one the best in a 4 block radius
Ronald VeltenJuly 28, 2016Old school and old style diner. Breakfast is good. Dinner somewhat less ...
- ScottMarch 28, 2010Went here this morning for breakfast at around 1pm (usual time on Sunday). Got the same ol breakfast I always get- eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Nothin to get excited about.. Whats a better diner
squeaselOctober 8, 2014Another crappy 24-hr diner. Generally Pinecrest is slightly better, but it is what it is. Don't come to these if you don't have to due to time of day.
Simone PezzanoJanuary 1, 2014The food is good, especially the breakfast. Some may call this a tourists trap, but let me tell you, tourists love it but definitely not a trap!
Eva VoorsOctober 31, 2011Cool diner old school style with excellent service and fresh tasty breakfast
Sheridan OrrApril 25, 2011Very cute 50s Diner. Great music and very lively. Friendly staff and good food.
Paola JiménezSeptember 20, 2015Rude service. We were waiting for a table and no-one approached us. When a table finished we attempted to take a seat (party of 3) but were not allowed to do it because the table was for 5 people.
Matthew GidleyOctober 24, 2010Excellent without compare. Hotplate heaven. Humberto is a great man - tip the dude grandly. I love this diner.
Sheeri CabralOctober 1, 2012No longer cash only! (the Mason st. Location at least, even tho Teresa's an ATM inside).
Sit at counter for fastest service; these guys are fun and friendly, and the food is great.
Charnell LucichMay 3, 2010Best diner in the area. Good food and friendly service. Their corned beef breakfast is awesome.
