    I had the vegetarian chilli & it wasn't too bad, but would certainly benefit from some spice of some kind. But I had a really sweet waitress who made the experience all the more enjoyable.

    The food is excellent, most of the time I'll order breakfast food no matter what time it is. Ripped up seats but no complaints.

    Place really needs more than 2 waitresses on a busy Fri night. But food did come quickly and it was very yummy.

    By far, the best place to go after midnight when you crave that late night snack. Their breakfast selection is fantastic — try the French toast.

    Try the new Tiesta Tea they are carrying, it is super flavorful and high quality. Much better than their old teas!

    Their music selection will make you wanna cry. It's all older R&B love songs.

    Salads are as big as my head. Such a tough choice between breakfast food or a burger on a pretzel bun.

    If you want good service, head to the Lincoln location. But if you want diner food in this area of Lakeview, this is your only choice.

    Suggested for breakfast: The French toast. Best I've ever had! Suggested for lunch/dinner: The specially seasoned California turkey burger w/sweet potato fries.

    A previously-undefined circle of hell. Makes IHOP seem like fine dining by comparison. And no, being drunk doesn't help. It makes the skankiness and poor service even more unbearable.

    Bring a credit card, you'll need it before ordering, I guess eggs are expensive and someone ate 1 and ran off.
