This place was recommended to us. The staff is very friendly, seem to be really working hard, and the prices are fair. I ordered steak and eggs. My steak was sooooo salty (and I like salt). It really ruined my meal. Our server was so busy and trying so hard, I really did not want to bother the staff with a complaint. My husbands food was also very salty.I also dont think the buttered toast had real butter on it. Maybe margarin or something?Food is underwhelming and salty. Staff is nice.Cute little place though.
Excellent diner!!At home atmosphere with a very friendly staff.Both of our dishes were spot on. Food was hot and prepared quickly.Ingredients were fresh and the onion rings were crispy.Facility was very clean and free of pest.
Awesome diner with incredible baklava! The bees started trouble with us out doors but we quickly killed three of the yellow jackets put ones head on a tooth pick to send a message to the rest of the hive and they left us alone. These bees eat our endangered honey bees so we then launched an ambush attack on behalf of the honey bees and used our drinks as sweet bait then speared them with knifes it was not the war we asked for but after our delicious meals and slaughtering those yellow jackets on behalf of the entire honey bee community… it was the war they deserved!!!!! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Great food. Great prices.
Great diner food. Tons of selection as well!
The service was absolute amazing. Great prices and food is served hot and fresh.
Im a diner fan, and this one was a happy surprise. Cute, clean place. Fast friendly service. Tasty omlet and home fries at a great price. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and service very nice place
My whole family left full and super happy!
My favorite place to go with my grandfather - I love the fact that they have gluten free bread. 10/10 would recommend :)
We were very disappointed due to having such positive experiences in the past. The food was good but very small portions. The piece of fish only covered half of the bun and the portion of Cole slaw was minimal at best. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Im guessing maybe the problem has something to do with covid and having difficulty getting food from their usual suppliers.
I got the taco salad lunch special and my husband had the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and rice pudding for dessert. Everything was fresh and tasty. The servers were friendly. We will return.
This was our first visit. The food was great! Staff were very nice and quick with the refills on coffee. What more can you ask for at breakfast?
Great food and service. Location is quiet and relaxing.
My husband and I stopped here for breakfast after staying the night in a hotel down the road. The view is beautiful, staff is so friendly, prices are unbeatable, and space is clean. We had a great meal and the outdoor seating looks lovely for a warm day. Highly reccomend!
First time there, good food. My friend had pushed the chicken from her salad aside, the waitress asked if she didnt like it. They didnt charge her for the salad. Well go back again.
I would give them a five normally. Ive had a lot of excellent meals here with my girlfriend. Todays meal just wasnt that great. Todays meal was disappointing. Hopefully next time I eat here it will go back to the standard I was used to until then a four.
Great place to eat. We went here for breakfast and the food and service were excellent. We will definitely come here again.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Great food, great service, love coming here for breakfast or lunch. Always check out the specials for the day or my go-to is their Reuben sandwich 😋
Great food, great service. The deck has a great view of the river.
Great menu and fast service.
My husband and son had lunch here and enjoyed their meals and will go back again! Great food at a reasonable price! It must have been good because they are pretty tough customers! Congratulations on making the grade! Ill be with them next time!! 😄😄
First time trying this Diner.. Waitress basically threw the menus at us instead of a more friendly greeting..Most the food was bland, & my husbands waffle was actually inedible:( Service was very slow despite not being very busy.. Coffee was good, & prices are fair.
Enjoyed a great lunch here. Glad we took a chance on a new to us restaurant. Good food, generous portions and great service. What more could you want.
This is a small place but we like the coziness. Employees are friendly. There are only a few parking spots in the front, most parking is available down in the back..down means you have a substantial number of steps to climb. Food is good except I found no pink in my medium burger (maybe I should have been clearer). Prices are fair, menu is extensive with several specials of the day.
Relaxing diner. Excellent service. Great smiles.
Was traveling back home when my girlfriend and I stopped in for a bite to eat. This place has a friendly atmosphere, and felt more like a friends, moms house. The food was excellent! I ordered French toast, and it was absolutely perfect. There batter was so yummy. First is a slight vanilla taste followed by a nice hit cinnamon as the flavors unfold. My girlfriend ordered steak and eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and juicy. The flavor was great, no need for steak sauce, great on its own! Thank you to the friendly staff the food and service was great!
Nice spot right on the water with a pretty good view. I had breakfast while I was there eggs toast and pancakes all were cooked perfectly. Prices were very good too. Staff was very friendly and my food came out very fast also. 😁
The first time I visited was for lunch with my Grandmother and sister. It was amazing! We all ordered the Cheddar and Broccoli soup and it was so delicious. I was so impressed that I suggested to my boyfriend that we should take the kids there to eat, and we did. We all were pleased!
Nice place, great service and really good food.
Great place. Winning atmosphere and great service.
I battled with leaving this review since it is my worst review ever. First, the staff was good and friendly. The Gyro omelette was good but the home fries were not noteworthy. What earned this score is that as I was almost done with my meal, I turned to my date and noted there was a bug crawling along the wall by the trim. The sad part is that it was a cockroach. It worked its way into the trim and then came back out as I was trying to overcome my shock. In the 6 years that weve been living in the Southern Tier, it was the first time Id seen such a thing anywhere here. Again, the staff was very good, but something is very wrong. Im sorry for the workers there, but this place should not be operating until that problem is taken care of.
Really good food, I had a western omelette home fries and toast it was fresh and delicious.Takes like homemade and the service was great!Im just passing through, I would highly recommend if you are too!!
Very friendly good food
Good food at reasonable prices
I truly dont understand some of these reviews, but I assure you mine is a non bias one. The restaurant is simple, clean and offers indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone is friendly and the prices are good. Now the bad. The food is just not that good. Keep in mind Ive done hundreds of reviews across many platforms and I base them on numerous visits. Im not going to list each item, but urge you to go try for yourself. This is simply my opinion. If you agree, than youve only wasted a twenty dollar bill.
Excellent food, a lot of variety. Excellent service and clean pleasant atmosphere. Would recommend giving this restaurant a try to anyone.
My husband took me to this little diner, and it was adorable. Small, everyone seems to know everyone, and they have outdoor seating. The food was fine, and plenty, and the service was quick! Well worth a stop for lunch!
Wonderful service. We had a bacon cheese burger and a bacon ranch chicken wrap. Beyond amazing! Super quick to come out too! And the peanut butter explosion is to die for! Holy moly we will be back regularly!
One of the nicest places we ate on a recent vacation. Food was good and prices reasonable.
Great food, good prices, great service, amazing views
We sat outside on the deck with a view of the hills and river. Very nice place and food was great. Very good priced options
Is great local spot stopped in on a trip very happy I did wonderful service good food
Great Place With River ViewsTop Notch Food And ServiceBest Dining In Owego !
Amazing food at cheap prices! Service was amazing and place was clean and cute! Got a bacon cheese burger with fries and the burger was juicy, bun was toasted, bacon was delicious and fries were crispy!! Highly recommend for a quick bite on a Road trip
This place has good food and friendly service. The only downside is if it gets busy sometimes service is not as good, for example I have sat and not got coffee refills for almost the entire meal.
Excellent food, great staff and prices!
Holy trinity: Clean restaurant, good food, clean bathrooms. And very reasonably priced. Great for kids, they had a tall stack of coloring books and crayons. The fish and chips was excellent!
Another of Owegos gems! Fast and friendly servers, very reasonable prices, and great food (you wont go away hungry!) Brought my Mom in for lunch- next time we order dessert first!
Got a great breakfast that was somehow prepared prior to my finishing my coffee. I cant wait to go back and sit on their back porch for breakfast.
Slow service and cold, bland, overpriced food. At least they gave my girlfriend a free eyelash in her tasteless Eggs Benedict. The waitress was nice. Ill never go back nor recommend the place.
My brother and i eat breakfast there and love the food, always enough to fill you up and very tasty, owner and waitress are always friendly and ready to serve. ,recommended
Very pleasant atmosphere, waitress was friendly, food was good.
Had breakfast here 3 days during our trip great food and service
Great dinner, on the water. Eat in or outside on their double deck. Staff is so friendly and efficient. Food is perfectly cooked and served. Love it...
Lovely diner with a nice view of the river. Usual diner fare, but the desserts look yummy! Didnt have room to try one on this visit but will stop by again
Very good food! Good customer service!My kids love the place! So do I!This was an awesome dining experience!
Just stopped for breakfast. Cheerful fast service, really nice food. Breakfast potatoes to die for. Great cup of coffee. Eggs cooked perfectly. Great toast. A simple breakfast done well.
Great food and friendly people!
Good food and nice waitresses. Man I assume was owner (bald head with a tattoo sleeve) was very disrespectful to the staff and made multiple people uncomfortable with his yelling at an employee in the middle of the dinner.
Oh my breakfast was out of this world!!!! A small diner with great food and staff. I returned for a second round and I will keep returning to this place!
Fantastic serviceGreat portionsReasonable priceWill go back
Excellent food and great service.
It was a beautiful view. A nice clean and cozy diner. They were attentive and quick. And the food was good and very reasonably priced.
The food was delicious. The waitress was wonderful. cant wait to come back. I recommend coming here rather than McDonalds,Wendys,KFC, ect. The place is great I cant stress it enough!
Great diner style food/ menu , good server, good food
The food was good, the service was friendly and quick, and the prices were very reasonable. Everything you are looking for in a restaurant. Highly recommended!!!
Three egg white omlet was small, I doubt it was three eggs. Vegetables in omlet under cooked. Onion was very strong. Should use vidalia instead. Homefries had bad flavor. Service was good. Coffee was good.
Just left the restaurant after ordering steak and eggs.found a hair in my homefries. They took $3 dollars off my bill. Shouldnt had to pay for it at all. Needless to say i will never go back
Was here with my Girlfriend. Very cozy little place by the river with great food. Would recommend anyone who is trying to have a traditional Americam breakfast or lunch.
Homemade Meals from Scratch! Service with a Smile, Goes Above and Beyond for Customers to be Happy about there Experience! Great Prices too...
Passing through from NYC to Buffalo we stopped here. Its like going back in time. Prices are fair and food is above average. The view of the river is nice
Excellent food, excellent service, great prices

Great service and tasty food. A nice small-town experience when passing through Owego. Would definitely go again.
Excellent food, and exceptional service.
Several breakfast options. Samplers, nice views. Kinda hard to figure out seating, no hostess and the layout of the building makes you walk around to look for a spot
They serve breakfast all day, along with great everyday comfort food. A great view of the river, and service and prices were great.
Nice dinner, the food is good, the prices are fair and the service is good. A solid breakfast or lunch place for sure.

Always always always great food, a lot of it, good service and outstanding prices. If you leave hungry there is something wrong with you.
My favorite place to go close to home, always the best burger and great staff. Spend less than McDonalds and get twice the food
Always get a great breakfast. Prices are very reasonable. Love to get lunch takeout including may favorite chicken gyro.
Very good reasonable food. Large portions and fast service. Recommended!
Nice little restaurant in Owego. Food was good and plentiful at a reasonable price. relaxed,casual atmosphere.
In town and thought we would try a local restaurant. It sits right on the river. It was clean and the food was great. We had the gyro, portabella burger and I had eggs and corned beef hash.
Great diner type set up and food
Crowded and not the cleanest... waited more than 20 minutes for our meals. The only good part was our slaw. We will not be back.
Enjoyable every time I eat here. The owner and staff always have time to chat and are always happy to see you.
Very fast and friendly service, good food and prices. Seating outside on the deck overlooking the river is very peaceful.

2022-06-02Excellent salads with very fresh ingredients. I had Cobb with warm freshly grilled lightly seasoned chicken. My husband enjoyed his spinach salad equally as well.

2020-12-16Entrance was a little tricky to find, as it was in the rear. The food was hot and fresh, and very affordably priced. Hamburger bun was maybe a tad thick relative to the burger. Service was friendly. I would definitely stop here again.

2022-05-15Although it was morning, I wanted a grilled Reuben and it was delicious!

2019-03-08Cute, clean, busy place with lots of options! Parking out back is a little tight, but works. You can use the back entrance by going up the backs stairs to the deck, and when we were there, you just sat yourself. Had the Jr. Breakfast and was still really full - it came with a pancake, eggs, and bacon, ham (steak), and sausage (link). Everything was really good, would go back... :)
