Highly recommended any time of day. The food is tasty and healthful. The service is quick, attentive and helpful. I love being able to get a simple salad with breakfast, and the sugar-free apple pie was full of apples. My Godfather Wrap had plenty of chicken. Five stars!

Great food at a fun diner! We had delicious salads, everything was fresh and well prepared. Menu is huge, you'll find something you'll like. Server didn't check on us, so we couldn't get questions answered after our food was served.

Best Diner in Paramus. It’s one of the few dinners where everything on the 9 page menu is actually delicious. Service is great and atmosphere is exactly what you expect in a great fast pace diner. It’s always packed so don’t be surprised if you have to wait for 5-10 minutes. I’ve had Salads, Wraps, Soups, Breakfast, Wings, Burgers, and more - It’s all great. I’ve yet to have any Dessert but the Dessert Case in the front entrance… If I had a spoon and unlimited capacity I’d probably try everything in it. Great spot, Highly Recommend.

Food was really good; both quality and quantity. Service was really good as well. Parking was easy to find.

Came here for early brunch and had a good experience. They have a wide menu selection full of delicious foods and drinks to choose from, from all-day breakfast to burgers to salads, to steak. They have it all. We got the all-day breakfast selections, and they were pretty good. The only critic I have was that the food barely had any flavor, so I had to add my own salt and pepper. The staff were super friendly, nice, and attentive. Be aware to get there early because this place gets insanely busy for brunch/lunch.

Wow this is a diner worth your time. I am so pleased with my meal that I have to say I really enjoyed everything. Meat lover fluffy omelette extra egg 2 bucks more worth it. Short stack Tripe Decker Egg sandwich Fish and chips but not any old chips we are talking sweet potato chips. fresh cut and made. 2 bucks more but worth it Honestly you will not leave hungry. Two thumbs up and 100% recommend to everyone.
