We came for the breakfast and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere was very casual, and very sweet waitress. I love good service, and the food was amazing. My husband said his was bland but I enjoyed it and we got the #10. Came recommended. Added raw onions to mine and I loved it.
The ambiance was homely, the food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. I have found my new breakfast spot.
I originally planned to visit the temple, but turns out even the gods are on holiday for Labor Day! So, I ended up at a nearby, more local breakfast spot instead. The prices were super reasonable, and the place was packed with regulars—looks like it’s a favorite for a reason!
Clean, no-frills diner that is off the beaten path serving hearty meals with good service for a very reasonable price. I will definitely visit again when I am in the area!
This is a great find. Great menu items on a extensive breakfast and lunch menu. I had the Liver and Onions with three sides; onion rings, pinto beans, okra. It also included a voice of dinner roll or cornbread. The liver also came with grilled onions and mushrooms. Very tasty. Located right off of Arapaho and near the North Central Expressway 75, it's convienent. The food was quick and delicious, and at these prices it's a great value.

I am in Dallas, visiting for the 2nd time, my boyfriend recommended this place as he is a regular there. I ordered the #10 and I am so full. The portion size was perfect. I prefer peppers and onions on my potatoes but other than that everything was good. I started eating before I took the pic of the food. So I will def be back the next time I'm here.
