3 stars for the one time I actually came here for brunch...I'm not a picky breakfast eater, you can't really mess up.  But really they get 2 stars for most of the times I've been here late at night.  Yup, they absolutly HATE the after hours crowd.  Terrible service, slooooow service, I think it took them about an hour to cook me some scrambled eggs - I should have just bought eggs at WAWA and scrambled them myself.  If they don't want to cater to the late crowd, then why be open at all??

At the conclusion of a (moderately successful) bar crawl, we shambled a few blocks to this diner, open 24 hours (weekends, anyway). It was around midnight and pretty empty - heard it can get crowded around 2 AM. We were seated promptly, of course. Our super server (Sheila) took our orders, got me hot sauce, and provided our table with a pitcher of water (FYI, SALT was comically scrawled on it).

I couldn't resist their "Eye Opener" ($6.95, with meat) which included two eggs, any style (I had mine sunny side up), home fries, toast (I got wheat). For meat, I ended up with two slices of slightly burnt (but strangely compelling) and insanely satisfying pork roll. Top that off with a glass of non-freshly squeezed orange juice and you have yourself a winner.

If you're under the influence, or near it, this is worth a trek. If you're sober, maybe. Either way, if it's in the middle of the night and you want diner food, there's not much competition in the immediate area...

Stumble here for late night eats if you've been out drinking in Conshy - its about 1.5 blocks from the main bars.

If you're drunk and here late, the staff hates you.  It could be because my friends poured syrup all over the table and threw silverware on almost every occasion we've visited.  They're good people, honest.

The food tastes like heaven at 2:30am and isn't bad for lunch either.  I'm partial to their French Toast with a side of Scrapple.

Nice place for breakfast. Recently started going here regularly, really good breakfast and super cheap...I never had lunch or dinner here but I am guessing it must be good too...
