  1. Sadly, I've never actually step foot into the restaurant, I only order delivery a few times a week so this review is strictly for delivery/breakfast food.

    On my days off, sometimes it's hard to leave the house and luckily, Academy is on grubhub! They always get my order right(which is rare for delivery) and are so fast in bringing me my food. I generally order a bacon, egg and cheese or some other sort of bagel sandwich with a coffee. Sometimes, I forget to place in the comments section how I like my coffee made and they always call and ask me to confirm if I want it "the usual way." Their bacon is crispy, and food is always delivered hot!

  2. An early morning on an empty stomach,  I needed something quick and delicious…. case closed!

    Searched yelp and found this spot!

    To get straight to the point, this is a typical diner atmosphere…. not too much lighting with your older than average waitresses who knows hospitality and service.

    I have to add that it is very clean…. seemed like a neighborhood favorite. Anywho,

    I ordered a veggie omelet with pepper jack cheese and turkey sausage with a mixed green salad, orange juice, and coffee.

    The outcome: I cleaned my plate…. my omelet was made just the way I liked it!

    My aunt on the other hand who typically don't eat out thought that it needed all sorts of spices,  but I told her not everyone eats a lot of spices… lol. She still ate all her food!

    LOL!

  3. A solid coffee shop in the neighborhood. My omelette was cooked well and the potato hash browns were cut in good size chunks. It didn't have a lot of onions cooked with it which is how I prefer it so I was happy. My friends had burgers with fries and onion rings and they enjoyed it. Nothing fancy but that's how I like my diners.

  4. Fort Geene staple. Good service and people, decently priced comfort food with a hint of a nostalgia vibe. I'm in love!

  5. Decent diner. Egg cream was 5 stars, like seriously surprisingly good if you are into that kind of thing. I am so I was pretty pleased.

    Service was quite slow. Food also took a very long time to come, so don't come here if you're in a rush.

    Omelette and oatmeal were perfectly fine. Potatoes were bland and not crispy enough. Also beware the hot sauce option was terrible so I will be bringing my own if I dine at Academy again!

  6. I woke up on a rainy day and wanted pancakes so I picked the first 5 star restaurant I could find. I had the chocolate chip and my boyfriend had plain. They were ok but you could tell a ton of butter had been put on the side and melted all over the pancakes on their way over to us. Not a fan of butter on my pancakes so it may not be a place I order delivery from again because you never know what to expect. I like delivery that thinks ahead and puts thing in containers on the side. Food was good overall though!

  7. delicious yet inexpensive breakfast ! Eggs over easy with corned beef hash, oj and coffee! Yum.

  8. I decided to order the Texas burger, after my colleagues raved about it. I was not impressed at all. I guess they had extra trimmings, which I was not privy to when I decided to try it for myself. I liked the fries, coleslaw, and pickle that accompanied the burger. Great service, nice quiet space mid-afternoon. I could never pass on sitting in a booth, feels like the Happy Days sent minus the jukebox.
