This is a great 24 diner, it was open New Year's Day when most other places are closed. The quality of the breakfast offerings is very high. In particular, the Belgian waffle is better than most, crispy outside and soft and not chewy inside, significantly better than the original pancake house. Crispy bacon arrives as advertised. Veggie omelet was good and the rye toast was perfectly done. Highly recommended for food quality, authentic diner vibes, and fast and efficient service. Can't comment on non breakfast items but the onion rings looked good. Btw the best onion rings in the world come from the varsity restaurant chain in Atlanta.

It is what it is! Its a 24 hour diner set up very similarly to the Waffle House. In fact, its very similar to the Waffle House (without waffles maybe?). You come here for diner food, simple enough. Eggs, pancakes, maybe a burger, you get the drill. I wish I could write a longer review, but its pretty self explanatory. I think their bacon and eggs are great! The service is also better than average, but I could see them maybe getting a little cranky at slow people. This is another place that can turn over seats real quick. The only downside is that its mostly booths so if you are handicapped or a larger person, you are going to be waiting longer for the handful of tables they have. Its mostly booths!

Breakfast eggs and toast very good. Coffee refills abundant. Service excellent. It was crowded and noisy Sunday morning but that's part of the charm.

Really awesome little spot on a strip that has seen better days. Its bussling and filled with people on a friday morning, but its so efficient that people keep rotating in and out rather quickly. I like the open kitchen concept because you see every employee cleaning everything constantly! I love that. My waitress was to the point and also quick and efficient. The food was pretty great for the price! Biscuit and gravy, toast, 3 sausage links, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs with cheese was only like $12. And my partner had 2 sunnyside up eggs, hashbrowns, ham steak, and upgraded from toast to french toast for only .50! Totalling to 10.50. That is when i knew this was going to be an awesome and sensible joint, when I saw their prices and simple menu, i smiled. This spot is a prime example of why we all should keep diving into the diner!

MEAL: Breakfast ORDER TYPE: Dine-in EST.: 1983 FIRST LOCATION: 1983 - Champaign, IL MY ORDER EXPERIENCE Am I in a movie or real life? Do you know this place runs for 24*7 365 days? As we went in, just like my buddy said, the place was crowded, and we had to wait in line to be seated. 15 mins passed, and we were finally seated. The menu was old school printed on paper which I liked. As I was Vegan for a day, I had a hard time finding a vegetarian meal. I asked the server for their house special, but it turned out to be meat. Upon investigating and scanning through I found Harvest Burger from their Sandwiches section and ordered a limited time Caramel Milk Shake. The Harvest Burger came with Bread where patty and cheese was placed in between. On the side they gave me onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles with mayonnaise. Along with the burger I also got hash browns. The burger was soft, and all the veggies looked fresh. Mayonnaise was the best. The Caramel Milkshake was delicious. As we were eating, one of the staff explained about the Diner's history. The fun facts were that the diner opened in 1983 and since then the diner has not been renovated except for the roof. So, we were experiencing and seeing the same diner from 1983. Isn't that amazing? The owner wants to keep it that way. The other interesting thing is all the tables are around the kitchen area where there are gaps. The server can come between the gaps where he can take and serve the order in the quickest possible way. Overall, the food was good. The staff was humble. This was my first time going to a diner, where it reminded me of the diner from the 2 Broke Girls TV series. The prices are super reasonable and affordable considering the students coming in which was thoughtful of the place. Sometimes, finding a parking spot can be challenging if there are any major events going on in the college. I will go back again for more experience. I would suggest this place to anyone who has old school experiences.

The quintessential diner vibe can be had at this 24 hour spot on Neil Street, convenient to the university and many Champaign businesses and hotels. Expect fast, friendly service and good basic diner food at incredibly reasonable prices. Great diner coffee too! Tip your server very well!

We had a fantastic breakfast here. The food arrived pretty quickly. The waitress was on the spot and knew all the right questions to ask. I had the two egg breakfast and chose bacon and it comes with hash browns. Husband ordered a Denver omelet and he thought it was good. The booths were comfortable.
