    Walking into the restaurant I was immediately greeted by a kind woman who offered me a free powdered sugar donut. At sat down at the table top counter and was greeted by a kind server. My food came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I ordered it. I never felt rushed and the staff was definitely attentive to my needs. I hope to come back here for breakfast next time I'm in town.

    Great place. Old school vibe. Fresh homemade pastries, I only tried the Danish because that all I had room for ( very generous serving size). The staff is friendly and helpful. Carry out offered, they are pretty quick. They have a 15 min parking outside as a courtesy for carry out customers because they are located on a very busy street. Word to the wise u will get a ticket if not careful. I leave my emergency lights flashing and run in for my order. Never had to wait longer..as long as u call ahead. They do get very busy early morning and lunch time.

    Good down home food. Offering gluten free pancakes and really soft and crunchy donut holes. Enjoyed the wings and waffles. Chicken may have benefited from more seasoning, however.

    No wait, donut hole and a smile at the door. We went twice during a recent visit to Chicago. First waitress, Cecilia, was fantastic. Waitress on second visit—not so much. Jam and jelly are usually at the table in open saucers. Ours were missing. She brought the two saucers to our table stacked on top of each other, pulled the top one off of the one underneath it, and was about to put both on our table when we objected. Why would we want to use something that had a dirty dish sitting in it? Several times during both visits, random waitstaff came to our table and reached over our food to switch out our salt, pepper. Management should tell staff to complete side work when people are not eating. Food was a saving grace. If you're visiting from out of town, keep in mind that you get two eggs for every one you order.
