See All ReviewsOrdered on door dash and they charged more after I placed the order. I had no special instructions or requests. Called them to ask why and no explanation. Asked them to cancel the order and they said they can’t. Which is a lie. Told them they can and they proceed to say “you can come here and do it”. Luckily door dash was able to cancel. Extremely rude and I’m sure their food isn’t worth it. Never again
My first time there this past Sat for breakfast with my partner who's been there before. I was disappointed with the unfriendly vibe and quality of the food (my french toast was overcooked on one side, both our scrambled eggs were terrible, the grits & coffee were ok). For the money we paid, $40 including tip, there are much better places to eat for less. She says it was better years ago, we went to Ihop the week before and had a much better breakfast & service for $30 including tip (2 french toast value menu entrees w/ scrambled eggs sausage and coffee). Don't think we'll be going back, but on the upside we did get to meet Roxanne Shante who was seated behind us, that alone made it worthwhile 🙂
A great Diner, amazing food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. I tried multiple things on the menu, everything was great, fresh and hot, and plenty of it. Can't wait to go back, sadly I'm from Indiana, so I might be a bit B4 I get there again.
