Some patrons note that the small interior can get smoky due to ventilation issues during busy times. This might impact comfort levels, especially for those sensitive to smoke. Additionally, the cash-only policy poses a challenge for some guests, limiting how much food they can enjoy. The restaurant can become quite crowded, especially during peak hours, leading to potential waits for seating.

We love this place. Inside looks like a time warp into a small town diner. But it’s in Bellflower. Food is great and strangers are friendly. Great portions and their potatoes are delicious. Thinly slices of potatoes cooked perfectly. Cash only though. I would’ve bought more food but only had $45 cash with me.

A cozy place, where the interior appears to be a small town diner. The people are friendly and the food is delicious and generous servings. Perfectly cooked potatoes. Make sure to carry enough cash, though.

This is a small cozy type of breakfast place. The service was great and the food was delicious. The Luisiana sausage eggs and loaded potatoes were delicious! Our good friends recommend it and they were on point.

Food is good. Great place for a basic breakfast. Thw biscuits and gravy were really good. Can get a little smokey inside due to ventilation but all in all a solid breakfast spot.

This is a small nostalgic 1940s style breakfast dinner. With about 20 seats, it will transport you back to a less busier time.

As everyone has described, this is a tiny location that has a simple, traditional breakfast menu that has been mastered which made it a truly delicious experience. I think this place seats around 20 people. Usually, when we drive by on the weekend, it's packed. We went on a weekday morning at 10 am which was perfect because we got a table immediately. I ordered the corned beef hash benedict which I ate all of because it was so delicious. My hubby got corned beef hash & eggs which he also loved. We also shared a pancake. I'm not usually a fan of pancakes but this one was really good. Service and food was prompt. Would love to go back.

Food was outstanding. Not going to lie bough when we pulled up I almost told my hubs to keep driving but he assured Me i wouldn’t regret it. Walking in was like going back in time. A teeny tiny little diner filled to the brim with regulars and the smell of amazing food. The 2 women working we sweet and personable and stellar cooks. I got the “hobo” with a hot link. I could eat it everyday! The gravy was perfection! Creamy and flavorful! The thinly sliced potatoes fried up with peppers onions eggs and a heft amount of cheese made my tastebuds dance! I will 1000% be back.
