I stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday and it’s a classic diner, the type of place I love. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS IS CASH ONLY! I forgot to check before I ordered and had to run to an ATM to pay my bill. …

This is the most wonderful little diner. Everything was incredibly affordable. The server was also the cook and she did a marvelous job. This is ine of the best little ma and pop cafés I've stumbled upon in a long time. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Incredible experience.
