Yelp user Yasmine R., who gave the diner five stars, wrote, "Service is always great no matter how busy they are. The restaurant is on the small side, but the wait is never longer than 15 minutes. Great food and portions for a great price. Their home fries are some of the best I've had. Sausage patties are also so delicious."
