A beloved Colfax diner with huge portions, standout green chili, and lively service, though waits, occasional service lapses, and inconsistent opening times can frustrate.

Restaurant Summary

The room feels warm and bustling in that classic Colfax way, with self-seating, counter chatter, and plates that land heavy and hot. Reviewers rave about the house green chili and generous breakfasts, noting servers who keep things moving during the rush. However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggested by polarized accounts and occasional over-the-top praise, though most feedback feels grounded in real experiences. The cooking leans classic diner comfort with regional touches: big omelets, scramblers, and burritos blanketed in smoky green chili, plus nods to Greek favorites like gyro and souvlaki. Expect hearty, unfussy plates where portion size is the point rather than culinary tricks—ideal for diners craving straightforward, satisfying breakfasts and lunches. Families do well here: pancakes, waffles, chicken tenders, and simple eggs make it easy for kids. With many mains in the low to mid teens, it is a solid-value family stop, though weekend waits can test patience. Bring a plan for parking and consider splitting plates given the size.
