First time visiting and would highly recommend it. The food was very delicious and their staff was very friendly. I went here for breakfast but would come back to try other meals
Great old timer spot for cafe-style food! This place has been on the Auburn restaurant scene for years. Lots of parking. Lots of seating. Super fast and friendly! The food is really good while being easy on your pocket book. Highly recommend!
We just got back from the hospital for my son’s testing and just wanted a good breakfast to relax and decompress. Service was outstanding, quick and friendly and the food was amazing. My husband loved the pancakes, bacon and hashbrowns; my son loved the biscuits and gravy; my daughter and I split the He-Man and so glad we did because for us, it was a lot of food and so delish! Thanks for making this a great morning!
Cozy Diner, amazing staff, and some good cookin!
I have loved this place for years and years! It’s an amazing breakfast place and all the folks who work there are super friendly and accommodating. My dad can’t have gluten and they’re pretty good about it.
It’s the best place for homey atmosphere and delicious food
The best breakfast and customer service in a long time, nothing like it.
Good breakfast place well priced
The food was simply delicious 😋 the staff was very welcoming and they made sure we got everything we needed. They have a very good breakfast selection as well
A perfect old school, grungy dinner for quintessential breakfast food. Definite local favorite, not too small and not too big. We went there on a Saturday at 10 and got seated right away. Will go back for sure when craving dinner breakfast again.
This place is amazing in every sense of the word. The food is tasty. We had the taco omlette and the ham n eggs. Yummmmm. The service was exceptional. So many regulars the staff knew their names and about their lives. I felt like I’d reimmersed myself in the Auburn community in the time I spent there. I used to live in Auburn. One can easily drive past this wonderful place. But, don’t; it truly is very tasty and quite an experience!👍😋 😁 Highly recommend!
Great diner to start the day. Super friendly staff, awesome food.
If you looked up “Diner” just go here. Exactly what you’re looking for If you want a traditional American Diner.
Great service and good food.
Can’t say enough about this place. It is the best diner in Auburn. Friendly staff and customers. Great stories can be overheard at any time. Good food too.

Always friendly, AMAZING food, and nice locals who have been going there for years.
Feels like home
Old school diner you don’t find them like this anymore good food reasonable price Great service can’t say enough about this place. Used to be one of my goat cheese spots when I was in Washington State.
Great dinner, great food, great service.
Everything good .. except being made to feel peeped upon. Because, I and my friend are homeless. But I like their food. And I usually don’t encounter that atmosphere.
Best biscuit and gravy in town
I haven’t eaten here in nearly 30 years, and it still never fails to please. Hopefully, it won’t be another 30!!
Best Diner Breakfast! Good coffee and staff is lovely. Offered I Spy books for my 8 year old while we waited for food.
My favorite go to place reminds me of the restaurants I used to go when I was much younger food is always good and plentiful Services outstanding atmosphere well that leaves a little bit to be desired if you’re looking for that home cooked meal this is your place once again I really enjoy this restaurant and the food is plentiful
Our wait staff was EXCELLENT!!! Food was yummy
Just moved to Auburn and I was recommended this place for breakfast. Absolutely delicious! Clean and cute little business too! Ordered the chicken fried steak and was extremely tasty and quick. Crispy and well seasoned on the outside, juicy on the inside topped off with fresh gravy. Lovely lady was so friendly and made it a great experience. Will be back again!
Fresh ingredients with unique presentations equals culinary goosebumps…. wow,
Ham and eggs…good old fashioned diner…breakfast all day sometimes a lunch special
Foods great, staff is friendly, and has an old timey diner feel
Old school dinner with staff that have been there for a few decades. Quality of the food is superb. One of the only 4 breakfast places I’ve recommended numerous occasions. Two places if which have died from the Covid recession.
Just good food and older style cafe, lots of locals.
