This breakfast spot was so good, I ate there 3 days in a row! I had the corned beef hash each time and it was perfectly prepared. I like sunny side up eggs, and that can be tough to get right but each time they were perfect. The hash browns were excellent and very tasty. Great coffee. The servers were really outstanding. My coffee refills were right when needed. Fast service, great food, great prices, awesome staff, this place is spectacular! I loved it!

Best spot in Detroit for a good, cheap breakfast. Also, the absolute best crispy chicken pita sandwich outside of coneys. Staff is nice and quick. Nothing fancy, just good food and people.

I flew from out of town, went here a few days in a row for breakfast. The waitress's were both sweethearts, they also recommended a place for me to check out while I was in town as well. My favorite part was seeing them interact with the locals, you can tell they’re a pretty tight knit community up there.

This is a fantastic old-school diner. I bet it’s remain the same since it first opened which I would guess would be in the 70s or earlier. And super good food for a very low price. Highly recommend I had the ham and eggs.

Hot and fast. Love it. Had egg sandwich. Should have eaten 1/2 and boxed rest for my break at work. I couldn't. It was so good. Ate the whole thing. Also coffee. Best 8 I will ever spend.

A GREAT place to eat. The place is small but the food is so good. The staff is very friendly and you get your money's worth of food. Everything is cooked fresh. They also have great coffee.

This must be a favorite for locals because the place was packed, but in a good way. The food was delicious. I had an omelette, my husband and son had the hungry man breakfasts, and our other son had a ham sandwich. Even if you don't like ham much, GET THE HAM! It was amazing, and I'm sad i didn't get my own order (not usually a ham fan) it was that good. Service was awesome. Jessica greeted us at the door and found us a table after a short wait, being sure to clean the empty tables quickly. Our server Nita was amazing as well. They looked as if they were running short staffed, as someone had called in, but that didn't slow them down. From the time we stepped in the door to the time we stepped out, everything was amazing. We WILL be back the next time we come to Detroit.
