A great breakfast and lunch spot. I brought my 60s hockey team there for brunch after our game. Though almost full, they quickly pulled together seating for 13 of us. Service was understandably slower with a packed house, but staff was very attentive and friendly. Cost was quite reasonable too. Highly recommended.

Had a quick dine in here, Great smoked meat. Wish the serving size was bigger but otherwise it was delicious.

Had a very good lunch here. Service was good and good was as well. My wife and I split the chicken club sandwich with fries and the chicken kabob with rice, home style potatoes, and a small salad. My daughter had the kids cheese pizza and liked it, also came with a small ice cream for dessert. Would go back and eat here again.

The atmosphere, lighting and food was quite good. Alex, the waiter who served us was very friendly. However, the girl who received us and placed us at a table was not kind or friendly. The price is a little above average compared to restaurants that offer breakfast but the food is worth it.
