    This afternoon, I got the chicken and broccoli hollandaise Skillet with additional crispy bacon added, with pancakes. The food was delicious, the servce was very friendly and fast! My waitress was Danielle, she is the best!

    I use to like this place till a waitress went on maternity leave then they texted her saying she was fired! She was one of the best! Her name was Maria. But yet the other waitress that actually had an attitude more than 2x plus went to jail gets to keep her job! This is upsetting and the atmosphere is not as cheerful as it use to be when maria was there.

    My wife and I just came back from lunch there (07/10) and we have never been so disappointed. I’m mostly going to talk about the service because the food was okay. Gyros were dry and chicken breast was oddly seasoned, but the soup and mozzarella sticks were good. We had a brunette waitress that had to be around her late twenties, early thirties and she was rude. And it sucks to see a lot of other people having similar issues with wait staff there as well. We were greeted by this lady at the front and she gave my wife and I a weird look and looked us up and down then sat us down. We were originally going to have an older blonde lady serve us as she took our order for drinks but then the brunette waitress that “greeted” us at the front took over without any explanation and proceeded to take our order. The blonde waitress wasn’t even leaving, she was serving other tables behind us. But we overheard the brunette yelling at someone else saying “I got C, C is mine”, aggressively indicating her cluster of tables. Every plate she delivered to the table she practically threw down, and spilled some of my soup out of the bowl in the process. And whenever she went to check on us she always turned away from me to ask my wife if there was anything she needed and never looked at me even when I asked for more water by the end of our lunch. We don’t usually get this kind of service and I’m sure if we had our original server, things would’ve been a little more pleasant I would hope, and I know I hope this was an isolated incident; HOWEVER, considering other people have been there in the past year and have similar complaints, I’m reluctant to return, no matter how good their soup and pies are.

    I went this morning to have breakfast, as soon as my plate came I right away noticed a hair in my eggs,I told the waitress about it and she apologized and took my plate away to have it redone. When I went up front to pay my bill of $11.32 I asked the (I supposed manager) if they would be able to offer me some type of discount due to the bad experience and she said "no because they did replace the food" so I said "yes but you know it's a bad experience to order food and it comes with hair in it" so she then said ok make it $11 even, so I was like wow she only came down 32 cents! She didn't even apologized...that's just bad business...therefore I will never go back to eat there. Them cooks back there should be wearing hair nets! Bad experience 👎Lost a customer.

    9 people and Cheryl was great taking care of us with such a busy dining area!! It was about 1 pm on a Saturday afternoon! Delicious food and always a great atmosphere!! Food all reasonably priced for breakfast and lunch! We did a mix of both.

    I got the cheese & mushroom omelet and it was delicious! They loaded it up with huge mushrooms, which many places don't. I feel like they have better food than some of the other small diners.

    Went for Sunday brunch. The place was busy but there was not a long wait. The food was very good. The vegggie skillet was not real greasy as some diner foods are. Biscuits and gravy were top notch. Good food good service. One of the best breakfasts in town.

    Huge selection of pies and cakes. We went for dessert and we were not disappointed! I haven't tried their food yet, but looks like a nice diner spot. If you are looking for pie I can absolutely recommend this place.

    I missed this place at night since they changed their hour's but we were happy to stop in this afternoon. Food and service have always been great!

    I was in Kenosha visiting family and took my sister to lunch here. We arrived around noon and even though the restaurant was busy we were seated within minutes and served quickly after ordering. The spanokopita I had was a flavorful crisp puff pastry with a delicious filling. Sis had the strawberry pancakes, equally delicious. I wish we had this cafe back home - a wonderful experience to end my visit. Thank you to my daughter for recommending it.

    First time here for lunch (ordered breakfast food). While the place itself was nice inside, the food itself was just ok at best. However-the service we had was very sub par as our server basically just took our order, brought the food, and then gave us our check. Looked irritated ever time we saw her and not once came by our table to check in. Better places out there for the price and we will not be back.

    One of Kenosha's staple diners. Full menu available all day. Haven't had a single dish (breakfast lunch or dinner) that I didn't enjoy! PLEASE call ahead for large groups!!! THEY WILL ACCOMMODATE to the best of their ability!!!!
