I really don't know why I keep coming back here. Maybe the great original brick walls inside and out. The lady on the swing hanging high collecting dust with the beautiful mirrored bar back nearby. This has been a go to for the people of Everett for what seems forever. Years ago, the food was not so bad, now... been bad since Covid started and continues today.Ordered steak rare....Crispy dark brown on the outside and med-well on the inside. Took so long to get my food that I decided not to spend more time sending it back.You typically get to choose from Hash Browns (which always seem to be cooked to perfection here, and they were) or the Potatoes.Today I got the potatoes which were drenched in oil and kind of a brown in color. Not sure if they were old or just over cooked and reconstituted with water. But this completely reminds me of every time I eat here. Always the food is hit or miss. This time the potatoes and the steak. Last time the eggs. Next time??? Who knows!?!? Maybe I will order a glass of water and end up with only the oxygen (empty glass).

I usually go here for lunches with my mates, and I think this place is pretty decent. Good food, great vibes, a little loud, but the service was above average. I ordered a Deluxe burger and fries. About $15. I will continue going back for brunches, and I would definitely recommend this cafe !

Busy local cafe, service was fast and friendly. We didn't have to wait to long before the food was served and hot. Definitely busy during the lunch hour. Everyone was having great conversations and the noise carried. Overall great chill place to have breakfast.

It's a nice, cute place. The ambiance is cozy. I like that there is lots of room around the tables so it doesn't look crowded.Despite being very busy, we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. We had the monte cristo sandwich and the reuben sandwich. They were both hot when they came out and very good. The fries were hot and salty and really tasty.The parking garage is right across the street, if you can't find street parking.

Cute place with definite historic charm. Came here for Father's Day and it was definitely packed but managed to score a table immediately. Waitress was brusque and rude and brought a straw that had some kind of chocolate or other brown liquid on it (yum). When I told her she just said ok and then grabbed the drink without apology. Not my favorite waitress ever but it was super busy.Food was super affordable and good. We had the mini pancake breakfast which said it had small pancakes but portions were actually pretty big ($9). Also had the mini egg with two bacon slices and an egg and slice of toast which was affordable ($8). Great value for the price, would recommend the place for the food!

3.5 stars * Chicken fried steak 3.5/5*Pancakes 3.5/5 -Chicken fried steak was average. Fair size portion and crispy but a small amount of gravy. Hash browns were good and sunny side eggs cooked properly. -Pancakes were also average. Not as light and fluffy as i like. A lil to dense Good but wouldn't do again

Good service and good food. Not the best, not the worst, but good. Gosh! I can't remember our server's name, but he was good! Attentive, courteous, and pleasant, good help is hard to find nowadays. Anyways, we had a Monte Cristo and the Reuben samich and they were delicious; drinks weren't too bad either (we had a margarita and old fashioned). I would definitely come back for that Reuben, and also to try out different food on the menu. Happy eating,FJ

I'm from Seattle, so I'm used to having great breakfast options. Everett has some opportunities there. This is one of the better places, according to the reviews. It was packed, and we had to wait about 10 minutes to seat our party of five. That's not a problem, but what was a problem are no fewer than 3 exhausted employees coming up and asking us how many we had in our party and telling us it would be about 10 minutes. They desperately need a host or some way of keeping track of people.Once we were seated the table was sticky. They did have crayons and a kids menu to color on which I appreciate. The kids portion was large for the price. That's about where anything good about the food ended. My food was seriously lacking flavor and the eggs in my scramble were overcooked and dry. Their jam options were small plastic containers of Smuckers. My Bloody Mary was so bad I thought about sending it back but could use the alcohol to get though the experience. When the server offered Tapatio hot sauce and I said I would like some it never came. Finally, went to pay for the bill and the don't accept American Express. If they were a tiny restaurant out of a city I get it but after everything else I just couldn't wait to get out and not come back. I hope this place gets better because our family that lives here loves it.
