Glad to know there is a really good diner on this area. Went for lunch today and the place was packed. Even though today is on the chilly side, the diner was busy. We wanted a booth and waited about 15 min. If we wanted a table, we could have been seared faster. It was a bit of a wait for food but you can't expect to be served right away on a Saturday. Both of us ordered burgers and sweet potato fries. The burgers were huge and the fries were acceptable. Not everyone can make these, so I was glad they were ok. I probably could have sprinkled salt but it slipped ny mind. The waiter was attentive, the ambiance was great and the food was not seasoned heavily but still tasted good. $45 for 2 with a peppermint tea. I had water and asked for room temp since it was cold outside and ghey complied. Surprised and grateful that there are decent diners in the area. Will be back!

Love this place for fresh bakery items at reasonable prices. The day I signed my lease to move to Bay Ridge,, my daughter and I walked around the neighborhood and found this store. Huge variety of specialty items. Their rotisserie chicken is well seasoned and tender and worth the $7.99 price tag. When I arrived today at 5 pm, they only had 3 left on the shelf. I also love their selection of ready made brownies, there were 4 kinds and the caramel sea salt were really good. This is my second purchase of their sourdough bread. It is so soft, which means it is fresh. They also had Irish soda bread, getting ready for St Patty's Day and plenty of pretty floral arrangements for Easter, when you first enter the store. There is free parking across the street for customers. I never leave empty-handed! They didn't have chicken salad and no one was behind the deli counter to ask, so I got a rotisserie chicken instead, with plans to make my own, but ended up picking the.chickem off the bone before I could make salad. LOL!

Went yesterday, enticed by the assortment of meat in the showcase window. There was plenty to choose from, chicken, beef, pork and numerous sides. Pics below. I had some oxtails w arroz con gandules, (rice and peas) My plate was pretty large, with 4-5 oxtail pieces and a huge serving of rice and peas w a couple of plantains for $12. The oxtails were well seasoned. The star for me was the rice and peas. I was instantly transported back to Grandma's tiny apartment in the Bronx where we piled in every Sunday after church, eating from TV trays. Def going to get some again to share w my dad, so he can cosign on this being close to his mom's cooking. With so many menu options to choose from I will be back. Take out or eat in. Pleasant staff, clean environment.
