  1. What a great diner we found after our free Staton island ferry tour!  Very small but all dinners in the city are. Great, very friendly service and at a great price.

  2. My fiancé and I came here on Saturday for breakfast. There's no parking – it's all street parking and it's around a courthouse so most of the parking nearby is not open to the public – it's mainly for the employees of the courthouse so we had to park a bit far in order to eat here. The service was good. We ordered the French toast, the scrambled eggs, the omelet – which came with hash browns as well. The omelet was pretty good actually. I liked the choice of toppings. The French toast tasted dry which is weird. I didn't taste the scrambled eggs but he said it was okay.

    All in all, typical diner type food. I doubt I'll be back.

  3. Gavel grill was a decent lunch spot during a torturous jury duty stint. The service was quick, but indifferent. The food was served hot, fast and was solid for diner food. If your stuck in court or serving on a jury, gavel grill is a decent lunch spot.

  4. This place is the best breakfast in the area. Hands down.
    The coffee is fresh ground and delicious. Copious free refills and they'll always give you a cup to go. Seriously, the coffee is really good.
    For $8.75 you can get the big boy breakfast 2 eggs, 2 pancakes  (I recommend the blueberry/banana), 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, toast and home fries. It's awesome.
    Their sandwiches and wraps are delicious and the service is always friendly and prompt. Free delivery in the area as well.

  5. Pleasantly surprised!

    Who knew that Staten Island had good food to offer?

    I ordered Arugula Burger lunch special. Not bad at all! Staff was friendly!

    Definitely recommended, especially for those who have to be in Richmond County Court for any reason and have some time to kill =). Honestly, it doesn't look like there are any viable options in the area.

    Tip: it gets crowded during lunchtime, 1pm to 2pm. Court staff, I guess?

  6. Cute little diner in a upcoming area.

    Offers from breakfast and lunch and they even have a nice little menu for frankfurters ! Like you never really see that much. I'm not a fan of them in general but it was cool and different too see that. They have some nice burgers fresh made and also wraps.

    Belgian waffle was great and fresh I enjoyed it with my sliced bananas and with my Turkey sausage links. Coffee comes in cute little mugs and its fresh.

    It can get pretty crowded around lunch time so good luck finding a seat.

    Workers are pleasant and welcoming.

    Easy and close walk to the SI Ferry and same block at the St George Theatre also.

  7. Cute little diner near the Staten Island ferry.  When you go in, it's almost like heading into a family house or like a time machine to the past!  The staff members are really tentative and friendly.  Our waitress was patient with me when I wanted to order the chili dog, but they didn't have chili =( SAD LYFE.  It was too cold, I think they didn't get a chance to get the ingredients?  But I will definitely come back to try the famous chili dog.  When you order coffee, you get free refills!  Such cheap food and awesome quality on your table!  

    I ordered the chicago dog and it was delicious! The toppings were fresh especially the peppers.  Didn't order the deluxe, but they still give you chips!  Yum.  I also tried some of the philly cheese steak!  The bread was crispy and the meat was perfectly aligned.  Not too much cheese, not too much steak.  The proportion is perfect!  Would definitely want more of that too.

  8. I was in Staten Island for an interview. It was 8:30 am. People told me there were no restaurants open in the area. I only found one other place that didn't have a bathroom. So this place was perfect. They accepted credit cards and had a restroom. The staff is friendly. And the food was good. They gave me free refills on coffee. The service was fast and friendly. They seem to have a great relationship with the locals. The only downfall to this restaurant is I couldn't get a table because there aren't many and they fill up fast. I had to sit at the counter. I had a  mozzarella omelet, hash browns, rye toast and coffee. My bill was $8.38.
