BLUF: Great diner style food and the fizzy, fresh limeade really is as good as everyone says! Downside: server issues, seat... yourself, bathrooms. I'm so torn to only give a 4-star review. There's soo much I love here, namely the fizzy, fresh limeade,onion rings, bologna burger, fries, chipped beef gravy on toast ($h*t on Shingles) and all the cute shopping in thestore. Downsides: We've been 3x. The bathrooms are single occupancy, have a foul water/sewer smell and are located right behindthe kitchen. The 2 bathrooms have been unclean each time. They do not have inclusive signage. The seating is Seat Yourselfwhich would be okay, but it's very busy/hectic, and they seem understaffed so service is not really FCFS. We waited to beacknowledged yesterday for 20+ minutes while trying to get a server's attention but we both felt intentionally ignored. I amguessing because of staffing issues. I considered walking up to a server and asking for the next available server to please takeour drink order, but didn't want to bother them as they already seemed to have more work than they could manage. We decided toeat elsewhere. When we left, no one noticed or tried to stop us if they did. Read more

A diner in a pharmacy? Who's ever heard of such a thing. I can grab breakfast and Zzzquil in one go, nice. "The Special" was... Chef *name redacted*'s take on a deconstructed skillet. Nice chunky potatoes, a good slab of egg, and crispy crispy bacon. Ithink it works. Pardon my impatience as I added ketchup and hot sauce to the potatoes before taking the picture (sorry boss).The coffee was definitely coffee. The service was efficient and polite Mr. "Call Me Whatever You Want" was getting the job done,and quickly. The ambiance was sort of halfway between a pharmacy and a diner, leaning more towards the diner side. I'd recommendthis spot, and I'll be back next time I need breakfast and a jigsaw puzzle in one convenient stop. P.S. bonus points for havingTexas Pete hot sauce already on the table Read more

I'm sure the food would have been delicious but you need to pay more attention when asking guests to seat themselves. My wife... and I sat for ten minutes while watching two more tables sit down and get served. We may try again but for today we're goingsomewhere else. Read more

It's a throwback to the 50s, where day laborers rub elbows with people in scrubs from St Mary's. It's the kind of place where... retirees bring their grandchildren for lunch. The grease is strong in this one, but you won't be ashamed for having visited. Read more

Great place for family. Wonderful wait staff. Tasty breakfast. Sweet potato pancakes, the bomb. Lots of options. It's not the... Ritz, but who wants the Ritz on an early Saturday morning! Read more

Came here based on google reviews and photos. Almost missed it since there is no visible sign from the street and we couldn?t... find the entrance either; had to pick through the window to find out how people got in here. For new comers, enter through thepharmacy main entrance. The food was delicious. My mom and I shared the Southern BLT on their daily special and a Bocky?sFavorite Salad. I loved the bon femme dressing, you can taste the parmesan and fresh garlic. Southern BLT made with friedfresh green tomatoes, bacon and lettuce. It was so good! Read more
