I remember this place from way back in the day when I was a poor college student, when I was just starting to eat out on a regular basis, but still had to watch my funds. This was one of those “gems” that even if you had to wait 30 minutes for a table it would be all worth it. Good food, good value.
I haven’t been back there for a while because I try to avoid lines at all cost (since I have a baby), but it was good greasy diner breakfast (I wouldn’t recommend it for anything but breakfast because I had a burger for lunch there once — and as Johnny Dangerously said, “ONCE”). I used to get three eggs, bacon, hash browns, sourdough toast and it was fantastic. Hash browns were nicely brown, thinly sliced potatoes, heavily butter-oiled and went well with all the above slathered in tabasco. Mmmmmm… Oh, and I think I used to go with a companion for less than $10. It was heaven. Oh, the good ol’ days.
