This is my favorite breakfast place. I love the vibe and the feeling everyone has. The staff is very nice and polite, you can sit at the counter and have a chat with them. The chef who is always there is very nice too, also a very good chef! The food is very tasty. I love to come here. The atmosphere is amazing, I love the classic American diner vibe it has. P.S. They also have bendy straws, you don't find those in other places.

We were from out of town and our Maps app suggested this place. The place has a beautiful decor of classic cozy 50's cafe. The food & service were great. If we're in the area again we'll definitely stop by. You have to try their Apple Crisp French Toast!!

Great place for a quick breakfast or lunch. Food is good, staff is great, and the best part is it's a trip down memory lane. It's an old "Your Host"!! They kept the style and grace of a wonderful era.

Wow! Our first time here and it was absolutely fantastic! Our server was extremely hard working. The food came out quickly and everything was perfect! Great portion sizes and great prices. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect for an old diner. We will definitely be back!

Visting here from Texas, we found this old fashion dinner, owned by a nice service oriented lady, fun to talk, eat, super sized portions. We enjoyed it. Loved the " Garbage Breafast".

Very affordable old style diner, just like you remember them. Not a redux, the real thing, always been there. No cards accepted, cash only, doesn't get more authentic than that. And the food is like you remember too, maybe even better!

I took my Father here for Father's Day breakfast. It was packed with people! The food was very good. Great diner in Williamsville, NY! I had eggs over easy and my Father had the cowboy omelet. He enjoyed it.
