Customer Reviews

"Fantastic breakfast or lunch spot. Reminds me of my childhood days of grabbing lunch with my granddad at the Woolworth's counter. It is a small space but they are remarkably efficient at what they do and what they do they do very very well. The cheeseburger is my go to for lunch. The Deluxe grilled cheese is a wonderful option.. But the menu as full of delicious treats."

"Absolutely loved this cozy little gem for breakfast! My hubby and I popped in for a couple of hours and left smiling. We had the omelet with everything (loaded and delicious!), the pecan pancakes (fluffy perfection!), and two regular delusions coffees -- all served quickly and piping hot. The vibe is warm and welcoming, like a place where everyone knows each other. A few friendly regulars even gave us local tips and wished us a good day. Great food, great prices, and a family-style feel that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back!"

"Awesome old school American diner! I was recently in Chattanooga for work for a week which had me at the convention center Monday through Friday, and I went here for breakfast every morning. Big portions of classic, good, American breakfast food, good coffee, and friendly staff. Huge plus that they have country fried ham and biscuits with southern sausage gravy, both of which are getting harder to find anywhere. If you're in Chattanooga, go here for breakfast!"

- Danny R.

"Wow, what an amazing place to eat! I had the BLT with tots, and there is no way I was finishing that. The food is amazing and the employees are friendly and funny. Can't wait to come back."

- Matt H.

"Don't even worry about the words, just look at the picture I attached. I couldn't decide between the bologna sandwich or the BLT. I didn't have to. PLUS, a fried egg. Nice."

- Nathaniel M.

"Meant to get here for breakfast but made it for lunch, even down to the coke machine seemingly being calibrated perfectly (IMO), the food, the service, we were served by the "The Boss Man". It was all excellent. Highly recommend."

- Brandon J.

"Fast and friendly service. I'd suggest using milk for hot cocoa or ask customer what they prefer. Food was filling and tasty. Family was in town on vacation. Eating off the beaten path (no chains). The prices appeared cheap on the menu but once the check came things looked pricey lol. $5 for a grilled cheese? I'm guessing when on vacation you splurge. We had an array of menu items. We arrived about 1040a and breakfast ends at 1030a. They were nice enough to accommodate. No complaints."
