    The epitome of what someone imagines when they want to experience the joy of going to a diner. The hash browns aren’t your standard, it comes in the shape of a small log, so if you’re looking for a huge portion that might not be your best option. I got a standard breakfast, poached eggs with bacon, vegetables and hash browns. The broccoli was cooked and seasoned to perfection which was a complete surprise. I also split the pancake of the month with my roommate, which was apple fritter. I was worried it would be too sweet but somehow it still tasted like the perfect buttermilk pancake, with some added special touch. And I couldn’t get enough of the coffee. Diner coffee tastes different, only the real ones know this. I’d go back for sure!!
