Absolutely great hamburgers. Better than the more famous competitor a few miles away in Rochester. Could use a little better outside signage--we almost passed this gem up.

Great American diner with all the diner classics - lots of breakfast choices and recommend the “Lake City Omelette”. Bread for the toast is from a high-end baker. Cheeseburger, fries and a hot coffee is another great staple. Staff is always friendly, courteous, professional.

There were 5 of us that dined in for breakfast. Zana (The restaurant owner) was very friendly, courteous, and a genuine smile. The food was fantastic, great service, and did not take too long to order/get the food. Nice ambience and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely eat there again. I also feel they could raise their prices a bit, big portions for the money.

Came for breakfast on a Sunday so thought it would be packed but it wasn't too bad. Got seated right away and waitress immediately came over and took our drink order. Drinks can't and waitress came back to take our order. I had the everything skillet with pancakes. Wife had 2 egg breakfast with english muffin. Food came out pretty darn quick and was hot. Eggs cooked perfectly as requested (over easy). Nice hunks of veggies in my skillet with great hash browns. Pancakes were decent sized and were good also. Wife said her breakfast was good but her english muffin wasn't toasted at all, stressed to be just warmed up. Inside could use a little updating but overall we loved our food and would definitely come back. Looks like they had some nice home cooked dinner options as well that we would like to try. Would definitely recommend

Stopped in for breakfast on a fall morning camping in near by Frontenac SP. The best breakfast hands down. The pancakes were very tasty. Great service, food delivered fast and hot
