They are the friendliest restaurant I know. The food made to order. Delicious food, reasonable prices. They even have a bar so you can have your adult beverage with your meal.

A staple of Sunset Park Brooklyn for over 50 years. Originally a donut shop and lunch counter. Brothers decided a diner was a good improvement. Love this place. Chicken soup, souvlaki, grilled cheese and Mexican dishes.

On the outside it looks like the an old fashion diner. New owners kept the old diner feel. Down to the desert display as you walk in. Sit at the counter, booth or regular table.
