Michelle and Janey (not sure if I spelled that right) are by far amazing! Beyond superb service; friendly, prompt, and just relatable and warm. Both deserve a raise or at least all the good tips. Thanks to these two, I will be back (so many times) as new local in the area!

Wow, what a nice place for breakfast. Lots of local feeling, especially if you are fed up with corporate food business. Our waitress was friendly and quite efficient - our food came up in less than 10 minutes. We plan to return the next time we are in Apache Junction

First time dining here, and what a pleasant experience! We had immediate and amazing service. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and on point. The food came out perfect! I was beyond impressed with the steak and eggs breakfast. I literally cannot remember the last time I had a perfectly cooked steak and eggs come out on the same plate until today! What a wonderful little restaurant. We will definitely be back!

The older population of Apache Junction love this place. It has an old dive-diner atmosphere. I took my Mother-in-Law here for her birthday, as it is her favorite breakfast restaurant in AJ. We have been there several times over the last few years, but usually later in the morning. There are plenty of seats, but it is always packed. Everyone in your party has to be there in order for you to get put on the wait list. Get there early. We arrived shortly after 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning and there were only a few tables left and they filled up fast. Make sure if you wear hearing aids, to bring them, as it will get loud. Do not use hearing amplifiers. They will just amplify everything in the room. The service is great and every employee was nice. The food came out fast, too. She had eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns, I had a Denver Omlette, hashbrowns, and fruit. I ordered a side of sour cream and salsa. The omlette was good, the fruit seemed to be a canned fruit cocktail. Fresh fruit would have been nice, but most places serve melons, and I don't eat honeydew or cantaloupe, so it was good. I rated it 4 stars for 2 reasons. First, the hashbrowns were just okay. They had a weird flavor. I only ate about half of them. Second, while I understand why they have the rule, I don't like having to wait for our entire party to arrive. When multiple families are congregating from different locations in the city, it adds additional time when we could have gotten seated sooner, since there is usually a wait anyhow.

Laid back diner, staff are really nice. Food is good and filling too. I got the Denver omelette with hashbrowns and sourdough toast.

Our family ate here for breakfast. Got seated quickly as the place is bigger than it looks from the outside. There were a ton of cars in the parking lot...so we figured it must be a great place to eat. Old school restaurant & we loved that. The food was great, staff was friendly & checked on us constantly. The food came out promptly, was delicious & good portions were served. The eggs, biscuits & gravy, waffles, etc. were great. The only thing we weren't fond of...was the ice water. LOL We hear the ice water along Apache Trail isn't so tasty. Nothing they could help, but we didn't drink it. LOL Would definitely go again.
