Amazing food, prompt and consistent service, charming as hell if, like me, you love old school diners. After spending around an hour there, I already felt like I was a regular. The staff obviously works well together and enjoys what they do! Can't wait to get back to San Diego so I can visit again.

I'm son's food was good. Mine would have been much better if the onions and bell peppers would have been cooked not raw.
