Perfect little breakfast spot that we stumbled upon after our son's swim class. Great pancake selection for the kids, coffee was strong, and the prices can't be beat. Cash only. Great hideaway for a quick diner bite!

Decent Food + Low Prices This is a great spot if you're looking for a quick meal at a local joint. For $7.50 I got a burger with fries. A simple meal like that would cost a minimum of $15 in NYC nowadays. The service was fast and the burger tasted decent. The fries were really crispy, but a bit bland, so you have salt it yourself. The ingredients of course aren't the best, but for a low cost, it's a steal!

Classic diner. Don't expect anything fancy. But food came out at a good time. One server was running the show and she was doing awesome considering the diner was packed. Guest were all part of the neighborhood. Food was standard. Had to salt and pepper my food but I kind of expect that. Total came out to $7. Can't beat that during the time.

We come here every Saturday morning for an enjoyable, affordable, and hearty breakfast. And when I say affordable, I mean that sometimes we get the check and think that they missed charging us for something because it's so low. Most places in NYC try to be fancy and charge you an arm and a leg for a breakfast that isn't even good. Here, I get two eggs up, bacon, potatoes, and toast, with coffee included for about $5. It's a small, locally owned and run business with the same three employees every time. Since we're regulars, we walk in and our regular order is put in right away. So hard to find such a reliable, hospitable, super affordable place here in NYC!

Solid diner, nice plants around and tasty food. No unlimited coffee refills sadly, and the pancakes were a bit too sweet, but the French toast was tasty and bacon nice and crisp. Can't beat the prices either. Nice local option!

Great food at a great price. A no frills cash only place serving delicious food. The pancakes were cakey but crispy on the outside. Such a great breakfast place.

A nice diner with a local feel. The prices are outrageously low, I don't know how they do it. The pancakes were delicious, the eggs were perfectly cooked, the sausage was crispy, very good. I like that the tuna melt was on a pita but prefer it was open-faced. The fries were great, the pickle was juicy and crunchy. Would definitely return! It is cash only.
