The food was excellent and hot, cooked fresh in front of you.

Good home-style cooking of basic breakfast foods. Ample, tasty portions. Went on a mid-morning Friday so crowd and no rush. Service was fast and friendly. 50's rock n roll was playing constantly and pulled the whole retro diner experience together perfectly. It's a little out of the way but worth looking for.

Really good food! Grab a menu of the wall. Mark your choices of food you want and hand it over the counter. When they call your name, grab your plate full of food and enjoy! We will definitely be back!!!

Fantastic find for a late breakfast. The name says it all. Classic diner decor and furnishings. Very clean and comfortable. The bacon part of the name - order something with bacon in it. Ours was cooked perfectly and super tasty and salty. The music was fun, a mix of 60s for the most part. When you walk in, pick a seat. Grab a pen and a paper menu then just checkmark what you want. Any questions, just ask your server. Service is fast and friendly. Beverages were quickly served. Hubby ordered a traditional breakfast of over-medium eggs (cooked perfectly) bacon and home fries. I had a huge omelet filled with onion, ham and bacon. Cooked perfectly with a lot of filling. No skimping here. The only slight downfall was the white toast that was a bit thin. Texas toast would have been awesome. We enjoyed and will be back to this hidden gem.

This place was great... From when we walked in it reminded me of an old 50s type diner. Everyone was so nice and helpful... When you walk in you take a menu and pen/pencil from the wall and mark off on the paper menu what you want. Then the waitress will come and take the menus for them to start making the food they will call out the name you put on the menu once the food is done. They have music playing (my kind of music some oldies that day) one of the cooks was even singing every now and then!! Food was very good I will definitely be back there!!!!
