Loved this dive breakfast spot. Amazing coffee, the diniest of diner food, super friendly staff, and a unique outdoor setup. Definitely my top choice for a hangover breakfast.

I've seen this West Village haunt over the years but never ventured in before. Well, since Jamie W. and I were going on an inadvertent tour of Manhattan's greasy spoons for breakfast, it seemed like a major miss if we didn't try it. After all, a lot of cool local celebrities like Julianne Moore and Molly Shannon apparently get their maximum amount of daily carbs here.It was bustling mostly with hungry thirtysomethings, and we decided to sit in one of the tiny sidewalk tables covered in a wooden frame. The comprehensive menu was meeting their needs. There was a huge selection of breakfasts, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a couple of pages of diner-style hot plates. For some reasoning, I had an unmet hankering for a club.I ordered the $17.25 Chicken Salad Club Sandwich, and it arrived just the way I expected, quartered with bacon, lettuce, and tomato between three slices of white toast. The cole slaw, dill pickle spear, and pile of fries completed the plate (photo: https://yelp.to/4OroAORvpF). It was just what I wanted. Jamie made a more nutritional decision with the $19 Chicken Breast over Greek Salad. The poultry was warm, diced and seasoned with pepper.The lettuce and tomatoes underneath were accompanied by chunks of cucumber and feta along with green peppers and Kalamata olives (photo: https://yelp.to/wB9hCvm-XG). The oil & vinegar came on the side for judicious dousing. The veteran staff of guys was good-humored and quite attentive given our out-of-the-way location. I definitely see why the celebs come here and probably hide at our table.FOOD - 4 stars...diner fare done rightAMBIANCE - 4 stars...the semi-chaotic setting fits the West Village wellSERVICE - 4.5 stars...funny and attentive crewTOTAL - 4 stars...gee, I wonder what Julianne ordersRELATED - Hungry in NYC?

A truly authentic slice of the old NYC, the one you see in all the classic films. A place with soul. A place with good, honest food and friendly service. Thank you to the owners for keeping this place the way it is, long may it stand!

Lovely no-frills neighborhood spot in the West Village. Cash only restaurant that is great for brunch. We shared an omelette and the French toast with chocolate chips. Both were very tasty. Coffee is very good as well!

Classic breakfast in the West Village. It's a favorite spot of mine to start my weekend morning. It's a no frills type of diner that serves classic breakfast items all day. *It's a CASH ONLY diner*My usual breakfast orders are a cheesy omelette with sausage and french fries or banana pancakes. I've been coming here a lot and always leave happily with a belly full of food. This is a chill and slow pace type of diner from the people eating to the chefs making the food. Overall great place for breakfast in the morning, afternoon, or evening basically any time of the day

Really yummy brunch spot! Classic old diner style been around for a long time. Our server had been working for 50+ years. Food options are cheap and classic nyc diner. This place was used for filming plenty of movie/show scenes including on the marvelous mrs maisel.There can sometimes be a bit of a wait so try to go around the crowded times. Although, I've never had a big problem during rush hour. Definitely come hungry, it's great!

I'd been meaning to visit this place for a while and I'm happy I finally got the chance to do so. We got there before 10.30am on a Sunday and were able to get seated right away on the outdoor shed. By the time we left, there was quite a long line out the door. It's a very casual, no frills, fast meal. The food was solid and service was prompt. I really enjoyed the old-school diner vibes.

They need more old school diners like this! When I found out this place has been around for years and is a local "safe haven for classic breakfast", I couldn't resist checking it out. The servers are hilarious and kind, the food was tasty and quick. I felt like home away from home and I appreciated the nostalgia. Please please please stop here and then never stop coming back. They deserve our support. Also that's the best lemonade I've had since I left the south. What's the recipe?!

Delicious food. Love the sandwiches and fries. Ate here all the time, when I worked in the village. Had to stop by with the wife and order a turkey club. Still great.

An average diner with some not clean tables. I'm not sure what the hype is. I would go back early in the morning as I had to wait on line to get in.
