Saw a big line waiting outside this place which caused me to ask the people if they'd eaten here before. Locals had great things to say so we tried it. The place is cute, relaxed and immaculately clean. Five or six men work as a team while one young woman handles all of the cooking. They seemed like a group of best friends. Everyone was happy and super attentive. I did not see stuffed French toast on the menu but ordered the regular French toast and it was very filling. Bacon was perfect. Fresh squeezed Oj was delicious. A modified breakfast sandwich was no issue for them and it tasted great. Liked their staff t-shirts. Yelp says they are closed today but we are there today so don't trust the hours posted on the Internet. We'd definitely go back again.

Old fashioned authentic diner, delicious breakfast. Two eggs, home fries, toast and bacon...sat in a booth so all perfect. Two of us started and three friends joined in and the waiter just kept coming back to take orders and delivered with a smile. Delicious bacon! Diner vibe, nothing fancy but just what we were looking for.

My wife and I were recommended this place after I asked a local where we could go for just a real good breakfast and a reasonable price (I don't need caviar on my eggs). It's a very small place in an old building which is centrally located and a short walk to the wharfs. It's very difficult to get into at certain times, and I believe that speaks to the quality. We had such a good breakfast that we went back the next day; in fact, if we'd have discovered them sooner, I think we would have gone there every day. I had one of the sweet bread sandwiches the first day, which was incredible, and my wife ordered a breafast sandwich on a muffin. She liked her sandwich so much, she ordered it again the next day, while I had an amazing omelet. Service? Great! Food? Fantastic! Prices? Even better!

Just ate here for the first time in a couple of years. Super bare bones, diner-like experience. Pancakes were excellent. They had real maple syrup and fresh squeezed OJ as options! Coffee was horrible. Service was slower than expected given how empty the place was and the cook standing around waiting for an order. Note that blueberry stuffed French toast is no longer on the menu.

Went to Franklin Spa this morning with my baby. They were extremely accommodating and gave us a great booth away from the main path for travel. My little one usually gets over stimulated so I appreciated them finding us a quiet spot. I ordered the blueberry stuffed French toast and it was amazing!! After taking the first bite, I regretted planning to share it with my little one. It's just so good that you really don't want to share! I also ordered the corned beef hash. It was a new item menu and it was delightful! You could tell it was homemade and made right. Specifically, it was crisp on the outside, moist meat and potatoes on the inside, and not greasy. I really wish I ordered some to-go. Lastly, I ordered the "Go Green" smoothie which is spinach, celery, pineapple & apple juice. It was very refreshing and not too heavy so I was able to enjoy it alongside my meal. Overall, it was a great experience with friendly staff and fresh food.

We have been coming here for years. The food is always amazing, pancakes are extremely fluffy. I highly recommend the stuffed French toast, I got it with extra whipped cream. Service was very attentive, they came around asking if we wanted coffee around five times. We love this place.

Very old school and off the beaten path. Recommended by my Airbnb host. Ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel with a side of fruit. Sandwich was also supposed to come with potatoes/home fries, but I was given a burnt, stale hash brown instead. Sandwich was great, fruit was substantial for a side, and coffee was good too. Service was fine. Also I paid with a debit card without any issue, based on previous reviews looks like this may be a new thing! It's a simple, no frills diner that hits the spot. I'd come back.
