    Good food, even better people! John is a neighborhood staple. Really cares about the people who come in. BLT club is delicious and enough food for two meals!

    The breakfast skillets are the best, and if there's room at the bar, you should sit there. Watching this family operate is some of the most wholesome entertainment in the city.

    Great local feel, gotta love the owner John, forever entertaining. Can't go wrong with any of the skillets, I love the mushroom/feta/spinach omelet.

    Great choices. Even if you go several times in succession you would have something new and interesting to try.

    The new breakfast burrito is excellent--but pass on the hashed browns--total overkill!
