Really lovely people here, happy to feed hungry customers. It's a, "seat yourself" kind of place in the early morning; the waitress was quick to bring coffee and take my order. The waffle-maker wasn't working, so I had pancakes with fresh fruit: Sliced strawberries, bananas, and whole blueberries. Real maple syrup available. It was hot, quick, and filing: I was back out the door in 30 minutes. YMMV. Highly recommend.

Fantastic breakfast and would recommend 1000%. We were welcomed by extremely friendly owners and staff. As our coffees were poured, the locals came in for food and gathering in this clean, homey breakfast spot. They have a special breakfast called the Sal Maglie--a delicious loaded skillet but you can order it as you wish. My son ordered the pancakes and fruit and it was a beautiful plate. Everyone was happy with their selection and they have toast with bread from a local bakery. On a side note, it also looks like there is plenty of outdoor seating for warm weather dining. Totally recommend this family owned restaurant when you're in the area.

Excellent food! Watch how you order though -because everything is à la carte for example: the omelette is $10 great deal- great amazing portion, but it only comes with toast. The waitress will say to you home fries and you'll say yes and then the waitress will say bacon and you'll say yes and you'll end up being $10 overcharged. So make sure you read the menu. Overall, however, it's great food and service. And reasonably priced if you do realize it's ala carte.

Wow!! I had such a great breakfast from thus restaurant. A friend decided to order take out one Sunday and it was such a good idea since there aren't many options near the hospital. Appar6that place is hopping on a weekend and they don't take reservations but it's good to know for my days off. We've ordered take out several times now and the food is always consistent. It's delicious and quite the hefty serving. I love their omelets. I will say when ordering online the options to the omelets is very limited. There are 20 different options but you're only able to pick let's say 2 choices. It's a little annoying but nonetheless it's still a really good breakfast. I can't wait to go in and sit down.

This restaurant is small but cozy place for breakfast. We got off the morning flight from Buffalo, picked up a rental car, and headed to the falls. We drove around looking for a cafe and came upon this restaurant. We were greeted upon entering and seated right away. Server was really nice and gave us recommendations. The French toast was delicious and pancakes were huge! I can tell this is a family restaurant, the owner came out to check on every table to see how was everything.

This place was found by accident we were looking for a to go spot but walked in and felt the energy so we had to sit ! The staff /owners were so welcoming. The maple syrup bomb ! The rest of my crew had some home fries , omelette pancakes. It was worth the visit so much we came back the next day for breakfast on the go for real. Super homie in there.

We visited here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. I ordered a Sal Maglie, which is home fries mixed with eggs, along with a side of bacon. It came with some Italian bread toast. The food was very good with the bacon being done especially well. My wife ordered the ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, which came with a side of home fries. It was quite large and the bread was especially good. This is a very good place to stop for breakfast.

I visited here on a recent business trip and wasn't originally planning on coming to this exact restaurant, but it happened to be close to another one where the dining room was closed, so l quickly searched on yelp and luckily I found this one. Turns out, they have been operating since 1939, so that's always a good sign. Once inside, you will likely hear old timers talking about days past. The menu is nice, but super simple as they mainly just have various Sal mangie, omelettes, and pancakes. Sal mangie is just a breakfast potato and egg plate. But the one I ordered was "the works", it comes with nearly everything in the kitchen, like 6 different kinds of cheeses. I asked them to hold the American cheese. Restaurants in other parts of the US commonly call this a kitchen sink omelette. For $15, it was the priciest item on the menu; however, it is really good and filling. This particular Sal mangie comes with a bread of your choice, I asked for English muffin. I'm guessing most locals choose the Italian bread (slices), and the waitress gave me that instead of a muffin. I added orange juice, which was pretty good. Not sure it was fresh squeezed, but it did the job.

Sunshine and I stopped in this morning on the way to the falls. Wouldn't have had any clue about this diamond in the rough without my fellow yelpers that have been here previously. Small place, looks like a local favorite. Super friendly staff. Luckily, our server could tell we were clueless out of towners and offered a crash course on what the Sal was and how to order it. We went and ordered our own components, a custom Sal if you will. I was more meat heavy. Hers was all about the veggies. Both were fabulous and came with toasted Italian bread. So good! Really recommend you stop in. You will leave full. Take note: this place is CASH only. They do have a sign notifying you when you walk in, but it's good to know before arriving.
