It is a quintessential South Milwaukee spot. The food is always solid, you get exactly what you expect, and the service is wonderful. The waitresses and the cooks are always friendly. It is always clean and welcoming. And the cost is super reasonable. A real gem of a breakfast diner.

This place is fabulous. Came here for lunch on a Saturday. I sat down and was greeted immediately and had my soda within seconds. I ordered the chicken pita sandwich with fries and pickles. Everything was so good and cooked perfectly. Service was top notch.

I've been in South Milwaukee almost 2 years & I can't believe I didn't know about this place. I believe it was under a different name before (Griddler's Cafe) but this is a really nice, homey spot. The waiter was truly exceptional, not long of a wait for the food & everything tasted divine. I will truly be going back to this restaurant soon, most definitely.
