“ Does look like your traditional diner, except that the stools had been removed from the bar. It also appeared to be a little rundown. That said, the cream cheese and tomato omelette I had was quite good, as was the biscuit and white gravy that my wife had. There was only one server there, but she was very nice and even showed my wife the website of the place where she bought her turquoise jewelry. The prices were very reasonable, the total for our meal was $16.99. ”
“ My husband and I had a super late dinner here one quiet Saturday night. The menu is perfect. The food was delicious and fresh, plus the waiter was accommodating and kind while also giving us our space to enjoy! ”
“ Service, perfect. Waitress and her patience, wonderful. Beautiful sunny day to have the Louisiana skillet meal with shrimp, yummy. Chatting with my cousin for 2hrs as we enjoyed the small amount of people who came in before and after us, the best. 10/10 ”

“ I have passed this diner since moving to Savannah 5 years ago. Frankly it always struck me as sort of seedy. Furthermore there were never any cars in the lot. (Never a good sign.) Several months ago, maybe longer, it began to look a bit more “together”. Now, you need to understand that I’m from NJ. I know diners. My interest was piqued. I saw a sign that said it was under new ownership and management. I saw signs advertising specials. I had to try it. Sunday my husband and I drove over for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised. We got one of the last spots in the lot. We were seated immediately. And it looked like a real diner - almost. It’s small and there are no table-side jukeboxes. BUT…they do have a couple TVs playing classic rock music videos. The cook provides a great percussion accompaniment with his use of his tools on the grill. (Not kidding, he is good and listening to him makes everyone smile.) The wait staff the morning we were there were 2 older women. One was clearly having difficulty moving around and I felt for her. They did cover each other’s tables which helped move things along. The menu was pure Jersey diner. It led with noting that their French toast was made from Challah! I’m not sure if many people in the south understand why that is an important ingredient but IYKYK! The variety of French toast was awesome. I picked French toast with cannoli filling. It was topped with chocolate sauce. It was amazing. My husband ordered French toast with 2 eggs. It came with the eggs perfectly done and they were big. Now why did I only give 4 stars? The washroom was not a pleasant experience. The floor looked like it needed a deep clean and the toilet wobbled on its base. There was a thick ring of brown and black gunk around the base. My husband said the men’s room was fine but he grew up overseas in a house with a dirt floor so go figure. I have to consider that if the washroom is dirty and smelly then maybe hygiene elsewhere is not up to my expectations. This could be a great place in Savannah. It has a few things it needs to tweak. ”
