  Wow… Heck of a experience here… Also an easy 5 star review. We arrived here around 10:30am on a Saturday morning and the place was full. After giving our names we were about 3rd in line to be seated. There’s a large beverage bar available and we made cups of coffee and hung out for about 5-10 minutes while waiting for our table. In no time at all we were seated and immediately our server stopped by and told us about the specials available that day. I looked at my menu and knew right away I was going to have a difficult time selecting my entree. Why so difficult? Well because there was a ton of delicious items to choose from. My friends were having the same problem. After a few minutes our server stopped by and asked if we were ready to order, we weren’t. No problem, she offered to freshen our drinks, bring water, etc. and left us to decide what we were going to order. Eventually we were all ready to proceed and got our orders in and I took a moment to look around. The kitchen was behind where I was sitting so I had to turn around and look. It was an open air affair and they have a counter with stools available as well. If I had been by myself that’s definitely where I would have been sitting. I will say from what I could see that the staff that was working in the kitchen knew what they were doing. They were hustling and running like a finely oiled machine. Also they were doing it quietly. No loud yelling or drama leaking into the dining room. After about 15 maybe 20 minutes our food arrived (again the place was full) and it looked awesome. I had a dish called the ‘Breakfast Pie’ which was loaded with eggs, cheese, mushrooms, onions, peppers and red skinned potatoes. I added bacon, and you can also add sausage or ham if you prefer. For the side I ordered home fries. This dish was incredible and I almost didn’t finish it due to the huge portion. My friend Jessie ordered the dish called ‘Yo Hala on the Square’. It comes with two slices of challah bread stuffed with a mixture of bananas, brown sugar, cream cheese and hazelnut syrup, prepared like French toast. This is then topped with with a blueberry strawberry compote and powdered sugar. It was a beast! Her husband Dave had the ‘Blueberry Crepes’ special. I’m not sure what was inside the crepes but they were also smothered with the same blueberry strawberry compote. All of these entrees were simply fantastic and photo’s are enclosed. Service was also outstanding! This was definitely my favorite dining out experience on this trip to Charlotte. I see they have 2 locations up in Richmond Va so maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll open a location in Hampton Roads in the future.

  Not a traditional NJ style diner however it is still pretty good. I have tried a few breakfast items and have not been disappointed. The burgers and sandwiches are good. The to go beverage bar rocks. Service was good for a brand new place. Recommend.
