Such a fun eclectic place to go and eat. You could go a 100 times and still not see everything there is to see.

I had the shrimp and grits and they were phenomenal! The sauce was a nice vegetable puree and there was a good portion of shrimp. Some of the omlettes are good as well such as the Hampden Omlette. Whatever you choose is typically good. The servers are friendly quick and attentive.

The food was good, and the coffee was great. Some items were a little spicy for me. Even though there were several employees, no one checked if we needed more coffee, etc.

This is such a unique diner and I highly recommend. The atmosphere is artsy and fun. The food is super good and the staff is friendly. The decor can be a bit creepy for children (just know your child) but it’s got a lot of artistic pieces and concepts that are pretty cool!
