I can see why this restaurant is popular! Huge menu, large portions, reasonable prices. The menu is half American diner fare (burgers, pancakes) and half Asian dishes (yakisoba, chop suey).

I ordered a fairly common and easy breakfast, ham and cheese omelet, which I swear there was about 2 pounds worth of ham inside it stunning. The pancakes came out of the kitchen steaming hot as they should be and were perfect if I may say so. Shirleys was the best breakfast experience on the island that I've had since I got here last year. I will be making more trips her to eat and finish every item...
