Flavorful eats at favorable prices!Decided to finally check out this local neighborhood cafe and was not disappointed. The french toast was pretty good, but the cheesy eggs stole the show.Looking forward to revisiting to find out what other tasty treasures they have on the menu. :-)

Located in Albany Park, another great city diner. Decent place we have been meaning to try out. This place boasts a huge menu. With all your diner faves. We got the Montrose special 2 eggs, 2 sausages, bacon and hash browns. It was decent. The sausage was almost to the point of it being off putting with a taste of rosemary. Hash browns could have been better too. Prices were decent and we plan to give it another shot sometime.

Love this place-- it's nothing fancy and has a real down-home/neighborhood-y feel. The staff have all been there a long time, are all the BEST (Janis and Jodie are two of the biggest sweethearts and best servers I've ever met. They take such great care of their customers!)Great place for reasonably priced diner food that cures whatever ails ya-- be it a hangover, a hankering for a good skillet or patty-melt, or a salad and sandwich. It's a real gem of the neighborhood!

We were delightfully surprised by this find in the neighborhood. We were able to be seated right away late on a Sunday morning. The server was attentive and helped us with our selection. Everything came as we requested and was delicious. It was exactly what you'd expect from this kind of breakfast spot. Definitely will be a place we come back to.

Food was good, service was good, lovely little breakfast place. Only drawback was higher prices than I'm used to seeing in a little diner like this.

This is a great old fashioned breakfast and lunch place. Been coming here for years and the worst thing I ever had was not bad. Usually I get the Managers Special or the American Skillet. They'll readily substitute cheddar for the American cheese for me. Yesterday I had the Montrose skillet (bacon, sausage, ham, and swiss cheese). It was insanely good. Mexican burrito was also great. It's always too much food. You'll either eat till you want to die, leave some on the plate and regret it later, or split a meal. Those are your options. Live with them.If you don't order the pancakes instead of toast, you're a fool.Wonderful service by the best waitresses and busboy in town. They should get bonus stars for the rooster decor.

If you're looking for a classic neighborhood diner with quick, good portioned breakfast and reasonably priced- this is the place to be. Ordered the mushroom and spinach omelette which came with hashbrowns and choice of pancakes or toast. It was exactly as expected. Pancakes come in a three stack, believe short stack is also available. I went with my parents and they both enjoyed it.My dad got over easy eggs and they looked perfectlu made!Service was great and coffee was continuously topped off!

Ordered takeout, did not receive the full order. Business was slow and I gave them plenty of time to put it together. I think their ticket order machine might not work, because I'm seeing lots of other people complaining about this.

Ordered the Montrose Special. Both sausages were burnt from the outside but one sausage was very undercooked (with a burnt exterior). The hashbrowns were flavorless and burnt. French toast was good though. I would not order from here again. I did not enjoy my meal today.
