If you are a new customer, the restaurant's appearance from the outside might surprise you a little. It appears to be a little dated. However, the sheer number of automobiles parked outside on a Saturday afternoon warned us that appearances could be deceiving—and they were this time. You are asked to sit down when you enter. After being told of this requirement, we sat down and noticed the sign that stated, "Please sit yourselves," which was suspended from the ceiling by two threads. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the server girls provided excellent service. They always maintained a sense of urgency and smiled while they served and waited. I've worked in the services sector before, so I am aware of how busy things can get. And it was beautiful to watch these few women manage the front line with class, style, and love. Considering how busy the restaurant was, the food arrived promptly. The food and coffee were both excellent and hot. The food servings were what you would anticipate from a family diner, unlike the place with "juke" in the name. I think a little remodeling may really improve the overall appearance, but I would always choose excellent service above good aesthetics. will undoubtedly return. In any case for breakfast foods, I endorse it. I'll have to return for items for dinner and lunch.

Having seen this spot many times over the years, but never stopping in, I decided to go for breakfast one weekday, while I was in the area. There only seemed to be two employees working; the cook and the server, but service was still quite prompt. When I got there, there was only one other person dining in there, but by the time I left, there were many others and several more tables sat. They also seemed to have a few take-out orders pop in while there, so they clearly do a decent business. The menu is typical, basic diner fare, nothing creative nor unique. I opted for a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich on English muffin and it was pretty good. The breakfast potatoes that I got as a side were nicely done, with a little crusty fry on the sides, which I really like. Overall, it was decent.

Overall experience was very pleasant. The staffs were very nice and sincere, checking up on you frequently. Seems as tho time had stopped with this establishment, brought back some good memories from old time. Food was good. I was hoping for good pancakes but it was just average. The main issue was the sanitary. As I say to everyone, don't let me see things and I'll be fine. Of course when I was paying my bill, a friendly cockroach showed up and having to see one of the staffs stepping on it. Yikes. Although I won't be back to this place, they do have great staffs :)

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is horrible. I ordered from grubhub and they completely got my order wrong. When I called the man told me I could have the driver come back to pick up the ham that was clearly in my order. Why would I pay $11 for only eggs and potatoes. He was very rude and I will not be giving then anymore service. Not to mention this isn't the first time I had an issue with this diner! Look at the pic, the order is very clear!!!!
