    Place is dirty. Food was horrible. The wait staff was terrible. Try to avoid going to this spot. Microwave bacon and canned hash. The waitress was terrible. Did all the minimum service as possible. People were waiting forever to even get their checks.

    Extremely dirty. Counter sitting has knee slime all along the base of the counter from people's knees hitting the wall. Floors along the kitchen have a thick crust of food. The little alcove that houses the bathroom has a broom that is thick with grease as well as the floor. The waitress seems nice but not attentive to customers. We had to ask for more coffee, extra napkins, ice for the water she gave me. Now on to the food. My potatoes had tons of burnt bits in them. Not sure what it was. I asked for over medium eggs they looked weird. Not sure what the orange/ rust color stuff was that was all over them. I asked for well done toast. What I received was not well it was a weird kind of cook yet it was soggy. With also red stuff on it. Nothing i ordered was red. Although my husband did order chourico which looked like linguicia. It didn't taste like chourico either but the waitress assured us it was and that the brand was Michaels. He asked for scrambled hard and he received eggs that hadn't been scrambled because the egg whites were visible. I've tried this spot before and it wasn't any better than it just seems worse. Unfortunate to let a business run itself into the ground. Side note the older gentleman cooking seems super nice.

    Love the home fries! Omelettes are generously cheesed as well. Quick and friendly service.
