Very cool small, homey, quirky restaurant. Hash browns and pancakes had great crispy edges. Looks like the entire neighborhood shows up around 9:30-10:00. It's out of my way but I'll be going back.

Upon arriving, there was only an available stool at the bar. I sat there and waited 8 minutes before anyone came to the end of the breakfast bar to greet me. That's when I should have left. Nope. I stayed. A kind gentleman, Carl sat next to me with interesting conversations. The owner came out to greet Carl, offered him coffee, and did not bother to speak to me. Bastard. My pork chop breakfast was not even fair. Dried pork chop, slightly overcooked hash-browns, my eggs were good. Needless to say, Roman's flatlined on arrival and did NOTHING to revive itself during the duration of my visit. It's a hard NO on any kind of return.

Ok food that actually exceeded value vs price, but unfriendly service and a couple other misses may keep us from coming back. One issue we had was our food came out way later than others who arrived and ordered after us. We eventually asked our waitress who simply said they had been busy. The hash browns were however perfect.

This place is just incredible. Any time you want a cozy, homemade, guaranteed delicious breakfast, come here. The menu is extensive, they have every single breakfast craving out there, and everything is amazing! The pancakes are to die for, they are sweet, fluffy, the edges are a little crispy, just amazing. I always get an omelet and it is just so good ( I do egg whites sometimes too) and they are extremely accommodating! There are healthy options too which I really appreciate. The decor in there is also all over the place but I do love it for what it is. The service is always top notch, never have to wait too long! Definitely will always come here for a great bfast.

Hidden Gem! My husband and I were running and errand in the area and thank goodness for yelp or I would never have happened upon this delicious diner. Very old school, tchotchke-filled diner style inside with a few spots at a counter, booths and a few tables. The server greeted us as soon as we walked in and coffee was poured within 60 seconds. I enjoyed my suburban omelette, a nice lighter egg wrapping which I enjoy and the side of bacon was so delectable. Thick cut and crispy! You have an option for toast or pancake as a side and I was so glad I went with the pancake. They were delicious on their own without syrup or butter and the edges had almost a candied-ness to them. My husbands corned beef hash was probably my favorite thing. The corned beef was so well seasoned, a good pepper spice and so flavorful. I will order it the next time we're back which will be soon!

This place was a fantastic local diner. The food was delicious; HUGE variety on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. The pancakes had a tasty crunch to them unlike other breakfast places! The hash browns are the perfect texture of crispy and soft. THE SYRUP WAS WARM *applause*!!For 9:30 AM on a Friday, the place was fairly bustling. There are 4 person table tops, approximately 7 booths, and a diner bar either several stools. There was only one server; she was incredibly hospitable! The ambiance was fun and different... a family owned, biker influenced joint! The wall decor was humorous.Note** Street parking; the front of the restaurant is for take-out only.** Single diner on the weekend: you are only allowed to sit at the bar stools.** Free coffee refills; you may have to ask for a water as it is not just assumed you would like some.

First visit today. Not really close to us, as we live in South Minneapolis area, Longfellow. Was looking a new place for brunch, that we hadn't been to before. Good reviews on Yelp made it worth the drive North. It an old diner with a pretty complete menu. I typically go with a pretty basic breakfast when I try a new place, Doll always sticks to a veggie omelet. I went with the Polish Ranch. scrambled eggs, polish sausage, hash browns, and toast. All hot and very tasty, Doll loved the omelet. Great attention from our waitress, very attentive. Spoke to the owner before we left, really solid meal that we will come back for. Told him we dine out a lot, and his breakfast was a high winner.

Wow! This place is down the street from me and I wanted to try it for so long, and I was not disappointed at all! You can seat yourself, so that comes with upsides and downsides depending on how busy it is. Service was really quick even though there appeared to be one waiter on staff during the weekday when we came in. Our staffer was immediately attentive to us and we wanted for nothing. I don't know how she manages to do it alone, but she was super efficient. The food was so good!!! It was hot and made to order, and it came out the kitchen fast. I loved that everything tasted so fresh and homemade. They serve you warm syrup and it was the highlight of my Pancakes and French toast. I truly can't wait to come back.I will only come back during a weekday. This is not a brunch spot; this is an old school diner spot where you get your food quick and fill up and go. The place is small and quaint, so don't linger. FYI- It's best to bring cash because there is an extra 3% on credit cards.

Delicious breakfast! Cash discount. The blueberry pancakes were terrific! Everything was piping hot when it was placed in front of me. The service was kind. This place was very busy for a Thursday morning, which was good to see! The American fries were perfectly crisp.

Love this place for a solid breakfast. Just be sure to get there early as the space fills up quickly after 9 am.
