We recently returned from a weekend in Cooperstown. The one thing good about these touristy towns is that most places have the menu in the window. So walking down Main Street we checked out menu after menu trying to find some affordable food, it was all $12.99 cheeseburger after $12.99 cheeseburger. That was until we got to the diner and... more

Very small diner that is always full with customers.The food was tasty and service was good.The only thing that was strange is the bathroom is in the middle of the kitchen ,if you look thru the cracks you can watch the cook prepare food. more

Surprised how small it was when I drove up and entered the building. I ordered breakfast. The scrambled eggs were not good, but the french toast, toast and sausage were good. I also got strawberry shortcake (including ice cream). It was fantastic. The server wasn't friendly. more

Yes, it's tiny (see my photo of outside and inside). How this little gem has lasted being able to serve so few customers is to fix good food at such a reasonable price that they are always full. We hit Cooperstown in the off season, and purposely went to the diner in the "between" times so it would not be... more

All is true, it is small but we had no problem getting a spot at the counter for 2. Service was not great, a little slow and not very engaging. Food was just right for a diner. I had the short stack which consisted of two large pancakes and crispy bacon. My daughter had the french toast which looked very... more

Loved it!

When the waitress said the burgers were large, she was not kidding. When they arrived my sons had the look of sheer horror (as in how do you expect us to eat something that huge). The burgers were cooked to order medium to medium well). They were delicious, but did take some time to eat. We had lunch there and... more

Wow! From the outside, we did not expect much but my daughter had seen a line outside the door at lunchtime so following our habit of eating where the locals eat, we tried it . Inside is not fancy and very small. The food and reasonable prices more than made up for the lack of decor and the service was... more

When we first saw this place, we were a little worried. It was TINY! But when we went inside, it seemed fine. There was only one waiter, but there were only 4 tables and a small bar. Service was good. When we got our meal, my son's jumbo burger was HUGE! I am still puzzled how he finished it all.... more
