Me and my friends were going to eat here. It was really busy, but it was a seat yourself. Being a server myself, I didn't want to seat myself at a dirty table (all of them hadn't been cleaned yet) because that's rude, and of course, kind of gross. I walked around to find a table that had been cleared off. No table was cleared off so I went back and waited until one was because I figured they had gotten slammed. Well, this short haired lady walked up to me and said "This is a seat yourself, so sit down and someone will clean it off eventually". She was really rude. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but still, that's not the way to go about it. I do want to give this experience another try because you never know. I just hope no one has an experience like this because that was my first time going to this restaurant. We ended up leaving and never actually ordering anything because she was really rude :(
Great little diner which I use as a sort of benchmark for other little diners. Service is fast and friendly. Food is very tasty, doesn't take long to arrive, and doesn't cost a lot.
I particularly enjoy the Kaleva Club sandwich. It's like something you would have for lunch the day after Christmas. Chunks of turkey and ham with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. No thin slices of heavily processed cold-cuts.
Overall experience this time around was very poor. Food was over cooked(the eggs on the omlet were brown) and the waitress had a very poor attitude. She poured coffee all over the table and didn't clean it up. She dripped coffee on my hand. She walked past our table several times before taking our dirty dishes. When it came time to pay, she didn't acknowledge me at the counter right away, she was too busy digging in her purse. Then took her time and brought out food to others before waiting on me. She had plenty enough time to wait on me before that order was up.
Very good food. Nice ma and pop restaurant. Cute place and nice people. The bakery is the best and so are the pasties
Just writing this now, I think I'm going to call my grandma and see if she wants to get lunch there... I hear the liver and onions is pretty good, by the way. I'll take her word for it.
I have been here several times, never have had a good experience. Always give them another try. This time took the cake, will never go back. My friends food was uneatable, when server was told she made no attempt to make it better. Paid full price for a full meal left on the table.
