I want to give this old haunt a better review, but it just keeps hitting bloop singles instead of the triples and home runs it used to. The food is good, sometimes even really good, but service remains spotty or (like today) just way way too slow. Only 15 tables in this old place. C'mon... get it together. Those of us who've loved this place for decades are choosing it less and less, and wishing it wasn't so.

Very popular diner whose accolades are well deserved. Very friendly service and the food comes out very promptly. Food is very tasty and if you want a cinnamon bun, get there early . Great place.

Went for breakfast and it was yummy. The environment is outdated but it’s awesome. Love this street and area of town. Would love to come back for a lunch and dinner!

Stopped here for breakfast with our family for Thanksgiving breakfast before we all went our ways. We were seated at 2 separate tables when we arrived due to covid rules. When waitress took our table of 3 order first and then proceeded to take another tables order after instead of our adjoining table. We had received our food 10 mins to 15 mins before our other party even got there's and were finished eating. This kind of was poorly managed and she was very aware our tables were together.

The food was average at best. The homemade ketchup is very acidic if you like this. Breakfast hashbrowns were fairly dried out as was the toast..

The cinnamon bun that I ordered to go was pretty good. I am sure I will be heating it up a bit and putting some butter on it when I arrive back home.

Nothing special in this restaurant and would not eat here again.

I've always loved the HLD - local, organic, delicious food and fabulous staff - so I was excited when I received an email saying they were open for takeout during this pandemic.
Not only are they open for takeout, they've also created a additional special "Hygge menu" with options for purchasing family size portions!
We bought homemade borscht, cinnamon buns, Gluten-free Tourtiere and several other items to share with others isolated during this time.
The food was incredibly delicious and very reasonably priced!
Staff was friendly and so helpful - my order was packaged when I arrived and they helped carry it all out to my vehicle- in spite of the fresh, heavy snow that had just fallen!
