Spontaneous choice for dinner tonight. We checked the wait time and it was minimal. We were seated quickly and ordered drinks and an appetizer. Our waitress was very friendly and brought our drinks right away. We ordered the onions rings for an appetizer and they were fantastic. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak for my entree. It came with a home made pickle and Cole slaw, the sandwich was huge and very good. Bring an appetite when you come because the portions are generous. My daughter got the French toast and she loved it. Overall a great experience.

It was my son's birthday and he wanted a burger. We came across this place on Yelp and decided to stop in and give it a try. When we arrived we were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress Paige was extremely attentive to us. We ordered our drinks and took a little time looking over the menu. They did have a large selection to choose from. I ended up ordering the garden pizza(it was huge). My son ordered the chicken and waffles. The birthday boy ordered the burger, shake and fries. My husband order the blue cheese veggie burger. We happen to make it during happy hour so I tried the Moscow mule. It was nice. Our order came out pretty quickly. We were eyeing the pancakes the people next to us ordered. The pizza was great and nicely cooked. My son said the sausage on his chicken and waffle plate tasted like the small canned sausages. But he did say the waffle and chicken were everything. I tasted my husband's blue cheese burger and it was very nice. I'm not a fan of blue cheese but that was tasty. Everything was nice. Did need some salt but overall great. Definitely would recommend and will be back to try them pancakes we were eyeing. If you haven't been you should stop in and try. This place is a little pricy. The portions are large so you will leave very full, and possibly left overs for later.

Wow wow. Came here for our Anniversary while in town. We weren't feeling a fancy fancy dinner so we came to this NY diner, considering we are from New York! Love the NY vibe with the red subway tiles! Our server, Paige, was absolutely wonderful. She was so kooky, friendly and helpful. Even our kids commented on how nice she was! We went with: Pastrami sandwich with fries, chicken parm dinner, BYO burger, kiss's spaghetti and meatball and a kid's cheeseburger. The food was out of bounds good! My chicken parm was incredible and the portion was HUGE! I didn't even make it through one of the two cutlets. My husband tried it and is getting it the next time we come. His pastrami was very good but we expected a more mile-high sandwich like at Katz's deli, especially for $17. Despite not finishing our meals, there's always room for dessert... kids split a kid's milkshake and loved it. My husband and I enjoyed Italian cookies (came in a 3-pack). This place was quite pricy... was literally double what we paid for dinner the previous night but for us, we were celebrating a special occasion. Highly recommend!

Wait times are long, but Yelp allows you to get on waitlist early. Yesterday, it was over an hour wait. Food is always cooked well, portion sizes are huge, and table service is usually pretty good. It is set up like an old style diner, so the room is crowded and large. Highly recommended!!
