I’ve driven by this place so many times and never stopped to eat there. My son wanted to try it so we did. The place is tiny but the food is really good and not expensive at all. Great portions too. The staff is very friendly and the server even gave us a little history lesson about how the place started. Would definitely go back for breakfast!

We love this place. Inside looks like a time warp into a small town diner. But it’s in Bellflower. Food is great and strangers are friendly. Great portions and their potatoes are delicious. Thinly slices of potatoes cooked perfectly. Cash only though. I would’ve bought more food but only had $45 cash with me.

Food was outstanding. Not going to lie bough when we pulled up I almost told my hubs to keep driving but he assured Me i wouldn’t regret it. Walking in was like going back in time. A teeny tiny little diner filled to the brim with regulars and the smell of amazing food. The 2 women working we sweet and personable and stellar cooks. I got the “hobo” with a hot link. I could eat it everyday! The gravy was perfection! Creamy and flavorful! The thinly sliced potatoes fried up with peppers onions eggs and a heft amount of cheese made my tastebuds dance! I will 1000% be back.

As everyone has described, this is a tiny location that has a simple, traditional breakfast menu that has been mastered which made it a truly delicious experience. I think this place seats around 20 people. Usually, when we drive by on the weekend, it's packed. We went on a weekday morning at 10 am which was perfect because we got a table immediately. I ordered the corned beef hash benedict which I ate all of because it was so delicious. My hubby got corned beef hash & eggs which he also loved. We also shared a pancake. I'm not usually a fan of pancakes but this one was really good. Service and food was prompt. Would love to go back.

You cannot go wrong here! Very local spot that’s been around for years!! I love the Lumberjack plate and one of the best things here are the breakfast!! It’s a small place but one to wait for. Food is served hot off the grill not like Denny’s or IHOP but I definitely recommend this place if you get there early. It’s an old fashioned diner, seats about 15-30 people and Cash Only! Gayle is nice and Karen. They got history here and hope it continues to be run throughout the generations!! Please open one up in TX!

This is a small nostalgic 1940s style breakfast dinner. With about 20 seats, it will transport you back to a less busier time.
