Since I live in the neighborhood this has become my go to diner when we are looking to get breakfast. We are lucky to have three waitresses who have worked there for over ten years and provide great service. The food always coms out hot, with great portions, along with an endless pot of coffee. It's great to go to a local diner and be treated well by the employees and have great food.

Perfectly cooked : 2 eggs over easy with hash browns. The cilantro on top was a unique addition. So delicious! I finished my plate by dipping the buttered toast in the perfect yolks. I wish I could ask them how they make the eggs like that. Next time. Some of the potatoes were crispy, just how I love them. The service was wonderful and quick. I noticed the cute old fashioned stools at the counter. It was worth it to walk a few extra blocks. Sorry for repeating the word perfect, but it's the only word to describe that breakfast. Great price too. My friend had grilled cheese (I think with tomato). There was a side of coleslaw. This place is very popular for good reason!!

Great customer service. Worth your money and big servings. Food was great. Low key and calm vibes. Would definitely visit again!

Ordered breakfast and was very happy with it. Sevice was quick and pleasant. Very good neighborhood restaurant.

Impressive diner fare, only thing not impressive is the fact they are not open 24 hours. I stopped by here on the suggestion from a coworker, and I was in the area during lunchtime. They do a brunch special that includes a drink and a fruit salad, for a select few menu items. Craving French toast, I got that. It came with sausage, bacon, ham, and two eggs cooked how you want them. I also got myself an Elvis milkshake, which basically is a peanut butter and chocolate shake with some banana infused into it. The milkshake is amazing, worth the $8. It is a good size, and it is rich and creamy. The food I got is good too. It is basic, but it is amazing how many diners screw up a good French toast, or even a breakfast altogether. The staff is friendly too. They are honest and see to it that everybody is having a good time and enjoying their meal. Between this and Pegasus, Bay Ridge has two solid brunch options on the weekends.
