First time visiting this establishment and they did not disappoint. As a self proclaimed picky eater I was a bit skeptical as I am when I visiting most places. I ordered a variety of items which were all really good to the point where I can't wait to return! I was very happy to alternate options to pork. The atmosphere was kind of an older crowd which I don't mind lol also the service was great!

First timer. Had a late breakfast of eggs and corned beef hash. Portion was smaller than expected, but adequate. Best part of the visit was the delightful young lady who waited on me. Smiles all around, and attentive but not so much as to be a nuisance. Wish I had gotten her name so I could have mentioned her with a sincere 'attagirl.' I'll be back.

Good food at a fair price, service was quick and tentative. However, I wish the restraunt would play some ambiance music. The location, however, has a nice view of the park.

This was my first time here. And to my surprise the place was packed with all of the regulars from near and far. They have a good reasonably priced breakfast from 6.49 on up, depending on your order. Everything was timely, the staff was courteous and the people were very friendly.
