“ Just what I was hoping for. A true diner experience. Lovely and attentive staff. Super cheapo prices. In these troubled times, with fake authenticity on display from the White House on down, it's nice to find hardworking immigrants doing the Americana thing simply and honestly and 5x better than the natives. ”

“ best breakfast in Evanston, the chocolate pancakes are MUST HAVE. The service was impeccable. the atmosphere is welcoming and great anytime of day. ”

“ Came for breakfast and was not disappointed. Portions are huge and prices are amazing. Service is quick and friendly. We had the hash which is good and lots of it. we asked for the potatoes to be crispy and they were. They are great potatoes. Lots of flavor. They have their own hot sauce which is quite good. We looked at their lunch and dinner items and want to come back to try those another time. You don't find these homey classic places like this anymore unfortunately. So support this place. Come early and often. ”

“ Evanston staple. Been coming here since I can remember. Always a good hearty meal. Nice neighborhood. Near Main st "L" station. ”

“ Everything I have ordered here has been delicious! Particularly their Omelettes, Rueben Sandwich and Cheeseburgers! The service is great! The ambiance is good as well! ”

“ Great food and service! Came in on our way through Evanston and glad we stopped for breakfast. Lovely lady behind the counter who made us feel right at home immediately. Don't miss this wonderful little diner! ”

“ What a beautiful dive! Don't change a thing. Tape on the counter stools, handwritten specials hanging on the wall and above average food. This is a great place for a diner breakfast or lunch. ”

“ This place is an old style breakfast/diner joint that has great food and seems to have a ton of regulars, which is a great sign for any business. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 8/10 Nothing impressive here, open grill with bar seating and several booths scattered around. Seats maybe 20-30 people and has that classic diner look. The menu is simple and straightforward. SERVICE: 7/10 Service is fine, the food came out quickly. Please know that this place is cash only so plan accordingly. FOOD: 9/10 Corned Beef & Hash - 9/10 - Classic no thrills or frills, corned beef with hashed potatoes. It was really good, not overwhelmingly salty and something that would make a good Saturday morning brunch regular item. French Toast - 10/10 - Simply fantastic. Their french toast is the best that I have ever had from a food place anywhere. The perfect balance of toast to egg, they have it down pat. This is the best thing on the menu which was a pleasant surprise to me. Pancakes, Omelette, Eggs & Sausage - 7/10 - Average. All of the other standard breakfast flair is basic. Nothing to write home about here. VALUE: 8/10 Food is relatively cheap. But do note, cash only. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Yes, go and try it. OVERALL: 8/10 ”
