    The food here was delicious and the prices were reasonable. The lady who brought the food to our table was great and happy when greeting us. The only thing was the cashier guy he seemed upset being at work and seemed agitated taking our order. But overall, it is a good place to dine out at.

    Plenty of windows which allow a lot of natural light in. Plenty of seating inside, and parking is decently on par with the Heights. Walk in, grab a menu then order at the register. The salmon was great, it came in a bed of amazing. The meatloaf wasn't as good. After you swallow it, it leaves an almost sour taste in your mouth. The mash potatoes it came with were okay-mid. However milkshake tasted great and the portion was plenty. Overall it's a good place to enjoy a meal.

    The food was okay. I got French toast with berry compote according to the description but instead I got French toast with fruit sprinkled on top. And my husband got chicken fried steak but he ended up getting his about 15 to 20 minutes before I got my food. So his food was starting to get cold by the time I got mine. The atmosphere is good and the place looks neat and modern.

    Review is for breakfast only - Wanted to try a new brunch place and came here. Looking at the menu, the $5 OJ was surprising, but we decided to give it a shot since the logo on the diner is an orange, so we had high hopes. Imagine our surprise when we tried it and it was straight up Minute Maid OJ 😂. We’ve had A LOT of fresh squeezed/pressed OJ and this was not it. I should’ve been suspicious as soon as I looked around and didn’t see a single orange press. The eggs (ordered egg whites and scrambled) looked and tasted like they were out of a box instead of real eggs. I don’t think they serve them any other way other than scrambled. We also had pancakes and a kids meal, which were not bad at all. Overall, just a very low-quality food establishment with nothing memorable or worth returning for. None of the items we ate tasted fresh, home made, or anything above average. It’s more so truck-stop/gas station quality food. Overall, the place is cute, maybe their other food is better, but for the price ($44 for the Lola Breakfast, Pancakes, kids meal + 2 coffees and OJ) and the quality, it’s definitely not a place I’ll ever visit again.

    After struggling to find a parking spot I was able to get inside and soon learn why. You should definitely get here early if you're planning to have breakfast. With that being said I enjoyed my meal. I opted for the chicken( 2 fried breast) and waffles. It came with 2 eggs and sausage. Everything was good and I enjoyed it. I'd eat here again. Be prepared to wait in line to place your order. But that also gives you ample time to look over the menu. After placing your order you are given a number and you find a table and wait for you order to be brought to you.

    Tradition breakfast with a twist or yummy goodness. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything you order here. We had the Chicken and Fruit Waffles and the So-Cal omelette. It was sooo good. Perfect serving, flavor, and temperature. Service was so fast too! The atmosphere is veryyyy busy and chatty but it’s a diner in a high trafficked area so what can you expect!

    Food was great and atmosphere is very casual. Drinks, utensils and condiments are DIY against the wall after ordering your food at the front counter. The waffles were fluffy and fresh and the chicken and pasta was nicely seasoned! This was a great inexpensive option for the family!

    Still so shocked by the terrible service. It was our first time there so we weren’t sure how things worked and the female taking our order was all over the place, not that it was busy or anything, it was just us in the line. She was cursing at her coworkers thinking it was cute and answering phones while taking our order. Anyways, it didn’t occur to us that we had to get our own silverware, and she told us “y’all better get y’all’s own forks.” Extremely rude and disrespectful. No point of adding a tipping option.

    Very cute little old school diner feels. Decided to give this place a try since I was in the area. The employees were very welcoming as soon as we walked in. Now the menu isn’t all that great, not a whole lot of variety to chose from, it’s pretty basic. I order the traditional breakfast and honestly speaking it was just that, basic. The bacon was not meaty at all, all fat. Nothing special about the dish, I could’ve gotten better at Denny’s for less. Overall very cute place but not really somewhere I’d recommend for brunch or breakfast.
