Comfort food at its finest! This is one of my regular spots, either for the friendly service from Libby, Billie, & others, or for their awesome homefries (which I order with grilled onions mixed in – YUM!!!). Sometimes the term “no frills” is a good thing! This is a solid choice for inexpensive morning fuel. The French vanilla creamers are a nice recent touch too!

Decent breakfast in downtown St Pete. The omelettes were decent, home fries lacked flavor and the toast was standard fare. $45 for 3 adults with Coffee.

We were in about a week ago. This diner felt so clean and comfy. The staff was amazing! Super friendly to my children and made my family of 4 feel comfortable. The food was delicious, the portions were great, and the prices were affordable and on point.

Had an amazing breakfast sitting on the sidewalk in downtown St. Petersburg. Food was enough but not so much to be wasteful. The staff obviously has worked together for a long time and was incredibly friendly. This was just a nice experience.

So hear me out! A diner Mom and Pop place that serves individual French Vanilla creamers at your table with coffee. Priceless!!! Its a game changer. Grits get a 10. Pancakes get a 10.

The staff is amazing and the food is awesome. Fresh cut home fries! Everything is always hot and fresh! This is a well established place for breakfast or lunch, it has been around for many years, which says something about a location DTSP

This place is similar to a waffle house, but I think it’s more of a mom and pops type of diner. The staff is very friendly. They were really busy however they managed to provide us fast service. I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, country potatoes, pancakes and toast. They forgot my toast . But the bacon was perfect and crispy. I was bummed that they didn’t have hash brown but once the country potatoes came in, I was truly satisfied they were delicious. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone. My boyfriend agreed and loved his breakfast as well.

A great place for breakfast or lunch in downtown St Pete. This is more of a cafe or restaurant than a coffee shop. It has the feel of a traditional dinner, very relaxed. Food was good, the service was outstanding, I will be back. *My only negative, it’s time to reopen the counter service!
