Breakfast all day-Not Waffles and that’s what I was craving. So I got pancakes. It said strawberries and whipped cream. It was a ton of pie filling with thick glaze. The pancakes were very good, but would not suggest strawberry topping.

The service was not the best and really needs some improvement, my waitress slammed the drinks down that my party of 3 ordered. We ordered sweet tea but she gave us water instead and didn’t tell us that sweet tea was being brewed and only told us when someone brought it up to her. Also im not sure how the tea is served there but it didn’t have a lick of sweetness to it. The food was really not that good. I got a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit and house fries, but the house fries were cold and just not good in general. The breakfast biscuit was good but when I got to the second to last bite I noticed that the sausage had some pink in the middle. My mom ordered the pancakes and they were pretty good though. My party and I also felt some racial prejudice. I wouldn’t recommend that place to anyone. 3/10😐

My wife and I stopped into this little diner on our way to Ashland. The service was pleasant, and the food was absolutely delicious. A nice change of pace from the indifferent attitude that we’ve been subjected to back home.

I love diners and this is now my go to place when in Charlottesville. The food was well made and plentiful. The service was the fastest I have ever seen. I was still thinking about what to order and it was already at my table. One of the top 3 diners that I have visited. 1/29/26 Update - Another great breakfast! It looks like I ordered the same thing again. You can't go wrong with the classics.

Came here for breakfast with my wife and enjoyed our experience here. The menu has a lot of good options and the portion sizes were very big, I could barely finish my meal. I particularly liked the corned beef hash, which you don’t often see on menus so I had to get it. The eggs were eggs (hard to mess up) and the home fries were good too. It has an old timer diner feel that I enjoyed as well. Would recommend coming here if you’re in the area, especially for breakfast
