$101+ for three of us. Food and service were great. We added up to $86 for sandwiches, salad, 3 drinks and extra cup o soup to go. Not sure where the extra $15 charge came from. Check your ticket thoroughly.

Amazing diner experience! The atmosphere is fun with a lot of history on the walls. This place has been around a long time. The food was delicious and the milkshakes are huge and tasty. The service was good but the server neglected to mention a missing item on a food choice which forced us to send a dish back and order something else. The prices are a bit high but I guess that is normal for this area.

Sprawling menu of greasy spoon classics, but also plenty of healthy options. We went for a 2 AM snack after a show at Bimbo’s. Security at the front door was pretty brusque, but it makes sense given the late-night clientele. Service was pretty meh, but the food was very well executed, so we left happy.
