Classic of classics, typical American restaurant, good service and delicious food

First time eating here, travelled from Seabeck to SeaTac to pick up our son, the food was fantastic, Barb our server was awesome, the busboy was on point....the plane pictures on the walls were awesome... nostalgia and perfect. Highly recommend.

Our server (Lin?) was a delight and easily made the stay memorable.
The food was not exciting. Had pancakes, omelette, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, toast, steak (medium well) and eggs (over easy), coffee, and orange juice.
Would order something else for the steak. No flavor, no browning. The country potatoes in the omelette just tasted plain and boiled.
Beyond those two things the food was delightful enough. The atmosphere is very mom and pop, people know each other here, guests talking to other guests by name and being friendly to new faces.

This is a fun old-school breakfast/lunch spot, one of few remaining “original” places. The line was long on a Saturday morning, as expected, but we had a great experience.

Sandy took amazing care of us as soon as we reached our seats. She made our experience personal and fun. All staff members are working hard on waiting tables and cooking up delicious food. 10/10 recommend for breakfast and lunch.

Great morning breakfast, great service and really fast service, too. Bathroom was clean. Pancakes (regular) were good. Came with blueberry and pineapple syrup in additional to maple. They were definitely interesting to at least try, but I’ll stick to maple - ha. Seems like a lot of regulars go there and has very chill vibes. I’d come back for sure if I visit the area again.

Good breakfast with a nice variety of items. We sampled the German pancake with lemon and enjoyed it. It's somewhere in-between crepes and French toast. I also had the chicken fried steak with over-medium eggs, hash browns, and toast. The eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly. The chicken fried steak and gravy were good, but there was something missing. The flavor was dominated by the sausage in the gravy which I considered a bit over powering with Sage and typical breakfast sausage spices. My toast was also a little burned and seemed a tad stale. That wasn't a huge deal/factor for me, though.
Our waitress was very nice and I liked the "dive" atmosphere/vibe.

This is the diner experience you are looking for. It has stood the test of time. I hace wanted to go for months but Google always showed it as busy(up to an hour wait). We decided to go and wait. There was no wait!!! Google's algorithm is completely off!!! We got seated immediately.
I had the German pancake with lemon sauce and powdered sugar. The lemon sauce was not sweet at all and cut the powdered sugar. If you like sweet, go with the "old German" and get the apple compote. I really like the pancake. It was a first for me and it's between french toast and a crepe, in both texture and taste. Very good!!!
My husband got the chicken fried steak with eggs over medium, hash browns, and sourdough bread. I loved the steak, he said it was missing something. Everything on his plate was very good! I love the fact that they serve Tapitio instead of Tabasco.
The absolute only complaint I had was that their coffee is weak. Very weak. I'm a two creamers, two Splenda girl. I added without tasting first and the first cup was BAD. Once I realized, I corrected and it was okay.

Nothing special but a decent American brunch place with a reasonable price. Been here a few times and could always enjoyed my meal!
