"A cute diner with slightly upscale diner fare that isn't snooty and coffee. Tasty food, cozy decor and friendly staff round it out for a great breakfast stop (or any other meal). They also have a little bar and nice cocktails. A great place for brunch."

"This place is AMAZING! The portions are just right and the food is delicious and creative. Please note: I scarfed half of mine before I took this picture. I love the huge variety of sandwiches that you can get here and I love that you can get a “dipper” of tomato soup to go with it! I always get the “Good Doctor” sandwich. It has jalapeños but isn’t hot. I’ve tried a lot here and it’s all excellent. I would give it a higher rating than 5 stars if I could!"

"Absolutely disgusting. This is the definition of a greasy spoon. They make nothing in house. The biscuits and gravy are terrible. A store bought biscuit, grilled in oil, and a powder mix gravy with NO sausage. The Jacoby sandwich was very oily. I took one bite and that was it. My hand was covered in oil. Not worth the heartburn that is sure to come if I did eat all of it. 1 choice of coffee and it's definitely not worth $3. The cook had to give me my to go order because the 1 waitress on duty was too busy eating her breakfast. This was at 8:30 on a Sunday. They had just opened. What a waste of $24.
If you want good food, go to Roots Coffee Bar or Sleepy Opossum.
Edit: This is in response to the 'owners' reply. Are you flippin serious with that reply? You don't address the fact that you are serving biscuits and gravy with absolutely NO sausage? It's listed on the menu as biscuits with SAUSAGE gravy, yet there is none. I watched the 'cook' prepare everything. If it went on the griddle, it was oil first, then whatever was going on. This is why your sandwich is laden with oil, as is everything else.
You should try Roots Coffee Bar to see what good food is all about. Try the Pecan Smoked Shoulder Bacon Burrito. They even make their own salsa. Their biscuits and gravy actually has sausage in it. They serve some of the best coffee in town. Not glorified Folgers like your place. I could have eaten there twice for the price I paid at your place. You should have been offering me a refund, not complimenting other restaurants."
