During a trip to Reading, I discovered an amazing diner with huge portions, fresh ingredients, and very reasonable prices. The friendly staff and clean, welcoming atmosphere made every visit enjoyable, whether for breakfast, late-night eats, or the salad and soup bar. If you're looking for classic diner food done right with quick service and a nostalgic vibe, this is definitely a place to try.

During my recent visit to Reading for a wedding, I decided to extend my stay and discovered an incredible diner. The portions were generous, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff provided friendly service. I thoroughly enjoyed every meal, from the chicken and rice soup to the perfectly cooked eggs Benedict, making it a memorable dining experience.

Went to this restaurant this week, waitresses
always running this loud vaccuum cleaner on the rugs, cannot even hear the company you are with, our waitress decided to help herself to some wings from the buffett & get her fingers sticky & we did not even get our food yet that she was to serve us. UGH! Upon leaving the cashier which I believe was the owner did not say thank you, hello or goodbye to us. I will not visit this restaurant again because of these issues.......

Breakfast meal had nice size servings and food was good. Our waitress reaked of smoke, the place is noisy. Waitress running sweeper under our feet didn't help either. Will try it again in a few months to see if things improve.

Food is home made, and high quality. Great old-time diner experience.
