I went there today and I can see him making a sandwich with his bare hands. I mean caressing the hero bread and smashing it down. I already ordered a tuna club so I just stood there in shock. I opened my phone and Google a dum question, "are restaurants required to use gloves to prepare meals?" And the results came back in 0.33 seconds…I didn't need to click any links I just skimmed through and saw the words contamination and germs!!!
Nuff said. I put one finger up like a church usher and told a waitress cancel my order.
In a place like NYC — this diner is a gem! $2.95 for 2 eggs any style served with home fries or grits and toast. It's a huge plate!
For $2 more you can get turkey bacon, turkey sausage or turkey ham. The place prides itself on having an all halal menu.
I can't talk about anything else on the menu because the only thing I come here for is breakfast. If I am craving a traditional cheap breakfast platter with eggs this is my spot!
This place is old school no thrill restaurant and draws a local Brooklyn crowd. The owner said this place has been around for 53 years and was a originally donut shop owned by his father before it turned into a diner.
Cheap prices and open 24 hours, why not!
I must say this is my first time at a "diner" where you seat yourself and there is no waiter. Its weird. You take menus from the counter and seat yourself.
When me and my party arrived it was busy, 2a.m. with many people at the counter waiting to get food. It seemed as though even if you ordered to stay or go, you got your food in to go containers. We probably took too much time trying to decide what to order and then saw the long line hadn't moved…so we ended up walking out.
Not sure if I'd come back here, it wasnt appealing at all. So weird because I passed by this place since forever and I thought it would be way more charming than it was.
There's not too much country cooking in this place, I believe the name was a well crafted marketing tool solely created to attract African Americans in this predominantly black neighborhood, let me explain there's no pork. The western omelette and home fries were dull and lackluster, totally and painfully void seasoning and flavor. Look, my mother was a country girl, born and raised in rural Swanquarters, North Carolina off the intracoastal waterway near a place known as "The Dismal Swamp", she cooked in a hotel known as River Forrest Manor in Belhaven, NC……way before the great migration North. Bottom line, I know country when I see it and well this just aint it.
The omelette was hard fried and not seasoned, the hash browns were not brown, and lacked any hint of flavor or country. The coffee was totally a go.
The waitress was friendly and warm, they got two stars from me because of her wonderful smile, not because of the food.
When we asked about steak and eggs, we laughed hysterically when the waitress quoted $24.95 seriously….seriously.
Stop… it.
Dull.
Plain.
Don't.
I ended up here late one night (more like 4 in the morning) after a night of dancing at Moe's. Well this is not the place to be at that hour of the morning. They attract a rowdy, drunken crowd. I watched as women fist fought outside the establishment after eating their food. It was too much! The food took awhile to come but it was decent. Maybe at a different hour things would be different. I'm in no rush to go back.
So sad! This place could be so good!
I got the jalapeno and cheese omelet, which was just scrambled egg and pieces of jalapeno with a boat load of cheese melted on it. The coffee was weak and warm.
But the redeeming quality is that they have some great employees! As friendly as expected for NY but they knew their locals and treated everyone like family. The set up is also perfect for a small Brooklyn diner.
Cash only.
